A Xepolite trader in The Maquis, Part II whose ship is stopped carrying weapons bound for Cardassian colonists, and who gives up the cargo once Gul Dukat threatens him.
Drofo Awa is the Xepolite master of a freighter intercepted in the Demilitarised Zone in the second-season episode The Maquis, Part II. Benjamin Sisko has learned that Cardassian Central Command is secretly arming its settlers through third parties, and goes out in a runabout with Kira Nerys and the newly rescued Gul Dukat to catch a shipment.
Hailed by Sisko, Drofo Awa claims to be an innocent merchant, cites his rights and declines to be boarded, and Sisko's by-the-book approach gets nowhere.
Dukat then takes over. He points out that the Xepolites are known go-betweens for the Cardassians and promises to destroy the ship unless it surrenders its cargo at once. Drofo Awa gives way, and the seized weapons provide the proof Sisko wanted of Cardassia's part in the crisis.
