This federation has fought wars. Ruthless. Determined. Sent people into certain death when necessary. Well trained officers staying calm in crisis. On TNG there's even an episode on this where officers train to send fellow comrades into certain death for the sake of the greater good. And this crew needs a chaperon cause they are so overwhelmed by their feelings to Book and they won't stop talking about their feelings and get hysterical? You have a well devised battle plan. You had your orders. Lock your weapons and destroy them. At first chance. Problem solved. But you screwed that up. Good luck with first contact.
That ship is not a well-oiled military battle cruiser nor a vessel for bold exploration. It's like a self-therapy asylum. I could probably live with that but even the emotional stories are told extremely badly ...
Plus, that title. Rubicon. Do the authors even know what that means? Who has deliberately crossed the point of no return and started the civil war? I don't get it....
