Government of Barzan
Interstellar Diplomacy and Strategic Asset Control (Planetary Governance over a Wormhole)Description
The Government of Barzan is the planetary polity represented by Premier Bhavani in the episode. It claims ownership of a newly visible Barzan Wormhole and treats that wormhole as a negotiable strategic asset, deploying diplomatic theatre and official envoys to bargain its terms. The government operates through a premier-level executive and engages external negotiators and political theatre to extract value, making it a focal point of interstellar contention.
