Town Hall Hospital

Town Hall Hospital
Emergency Conversion
Sittas converts Matara’s town hall into a hospital after the Battle of Carmeer Valley. The building becomes crowded with wounded men from all sides.
Local doctors, youths, women, and families create a medical system with almost no resources. Its effectiveness depends on cooperation rather than formal authority.
A New Civic Space
The hospital temporarily replaces military identity with bodily vulnerability. It becomes one of the few places where all factions meet without weapons.
Medical Supply Appeal

Medical Supply Appeal
Scarcity
The hospital exhausts its supplies while more wounded arrive. Altai contacts Shinarian networks and communicates the need beyond the immediate combat zone.
The appeal reaches the Terran garrison, which sends a supply van despite the political war. Relief becomes possible because communication crosses factional boundaries.
Trust in Practice
The supplies do not settle the rebellion, but they demonstrate that cooperation can produce tangible benefits unavailable through isolated resistance.
Protected Wounded

Protected Wounded
Returning Prisoners
Sittas arranges for recovering Terrans to be returned under truce flags. The Komani tolerate the arrangement because their own wounded receive the same care.
The system creates a practical reciprocity that neither side can easily violate without harming its own people.
Humanitarian Diplomacy
The hospital becomes an early model for the later peace settlement. It shows that limited trust can survive even while the wider war continues.
