Chrysalian Women Collective Reference

Devinoni markets the Chrysalian women as an abundant, alluring population on Chrysalia—a depersonalized, sexualized collective invoked to entice the Ferengi Goss. The reference lacks individualization or agency: no named speakers, no actions, and no narrative responsibility. Functioning as a rhetorical lure, the Chrysalian women operate as a cultural trope within the episode, revealing Devinoni’s willingness to commodify people for tactical gain rather than constituting a discrete, reusable character within series continuity.
