Description

The Dachlyds participate in interstellar trade agreements, clashing with the Gemarians in a dispute Picard mediated on Gemaris V over two weeks. Their stubborn nature matches the Gemarians', prolonging negotiations and draining Picard's reserves. Troi highlights this trait as key to the mission's grueling demands, which leave the captain visibly exhausted upon his return to the Enterprise bridge.
