Zorn

Groppler Zorn was a member of the Bandi species living on Deneb IV, involved with the supervision of Farpoint Station in 2364. It appeared that he was the leader of the group.

Zorn entered into negotiations with the Federation for use of the space station. Jean-Luc Picard, who represented the Federation became suspicious of Zorn and the station itself. Zorn appeared nervous whenever any questions were asked about the station expecially on how the abandi were able to construct it so quickly. He threatened to offer the station to the Ferengi.

In reality, Zorn forced a shapeshifting spaceborne entity to take the form of a starbase. Zorn's acts were eventually discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D when a second creature attacked the Bandi city and Zorn himself. Picard and the Enterprise helped to reunite the two creatures. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint")

Zorn was played by actor Michael Bell.
