Two neighbouring Bajoran peoples whose dispute over a river border nearly led to war in 2369, until the teenage Paqu leader Varis Sul found a compromise on Deep Space 9.
The Paqu and the Navot are rival Bajoran communities whose lands are divided by the river Glyrhond under a treaty many decades old. During the occupation the Cardassians diverted the river for mining, shifting its course and with it, the Paqu argue, the border.
In the Deep Space Nine episode The Storyteller, Commander Sisko hosts talks between the two. The Navot are represented by the experienced Woban. The Paqu are led by their tetrarch Varis Sul, a girl of fifteen who inherited the office when her parents were killed, and who refuses to yield anything for fear of looking weak.
Jake Sisko and Nog befriend her, and a remark of Nog's about turning problems into opportunities, together with advice from Sisko, prompts her to offer the Navot a bargain both sides can accept.
