Bandi

Galactic Diplomacy and Territorial Custodianship

Description

The Bandi, led by the station administrator Groppler Zorn, are the native alien inhabitants of the planet hosting Farpoint Station. They serve as the station’s operators and custodians, exhibiting a secretive culture marked by reluctance to expand their starbase beyond their homeworld. Their involvement in complex diplomatic negotiations, including tense interactions with Starfleet and veiled threats of alliance with the Ferengi, underscores their strategic caution and vulnerability. The Bandi city suffers bombardment amidst ongoing conflict, heightening their role as a faction caught between mystery, political intrigue, and survival.
