Federation Representative

An unnamed Federation diplomatic official designated to receive formal Ferengi overtures during high‑stakes negotiations. The figure functions primarily as a ceremonial and political touchstone whose acceptance of the Ferengi gesture would legitimize Ferengi claims and de‑escalate tensions. Although not directly shown, the representative’s presence shapes Ferengi planning and becomes the explicit target of a covert biological threat, tying this office to both diplomatic protocol and the episode’s emergent crisis. Relationships center on Goss as the Ferengi emissary and Arridor/Kol as conspirators in the plot.
