Can I suggest focussing on FTLs in your own neck of the woods? Europe as had a massive change to the FTL rules, for the worse. Type BALPA Wake Up in any search engine. A poster above has given you a start on some links.
You'll have a lot more success in your story than trying to take down a Sheik.
Good luck with your story. I genuinely hope it gets a lot of attention and you can help us change ridiculous laws.
