The leader of Gamelan V, who asks the Enterprise-D for help when a derelict barge full of radioactive waste enters orbit of her world in Final Mission.
Chairman Songi is the head of government of Gamelan V. She appears in the fourth-season episode Final Mission.
She sends an urgent appeal to the Federation when an unidentified vessel settles into orbit and radiation levels in the planet's atmosphere begin to climb to lethal levels. The intruder is an abandoned garbage scow loaded with radioactive waste.
The request forces Picard to divide his attention. He goes on by shuttle with Wesley Crusher to mediate a mining dispute on Pentarus V and is stranded on a desert moon, while Riker has the Enterprise tow the barge through an asteroid belt and into the Gamelan sun, a slow job that exposes the crew to dangerous radiation and delays the search for the captain.
