Bhavani

Premier of Barzan II

The Premier of the poor planet Barzan II, who in The Price auctions the rights to an apparently stable wormhole aboard the Enterprise to the Federation and rival bidders.

Bhavani is the head of government of Barzan II, a world with few resources and an atmosphere hostile to most visitors. She appears in the third-season episode The Price, set in 2366.
Her people have found what seems to be the first stable wormhole on record and, lacking the means to exploit it, offer it to the highest bidder. Bhavani conducts the negotiations aboard the Enterprise with delegates of the Federation, the Caldonians and the Chrysalians, and reluctantly admits the uninvited Ferengi.
She awards the rights to the Chrysalians, represented by Devinoni Ral. Almost at once a shuttle expedition shows that the far end of the wormhole wanders, making the prize all but worthless.
