Chudak

Chudak was a male Ferengi and supporting antagonist of the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Debtor's Planet.

The DaiMon of the Ferengi vessel Dividend, Chudak worked for the Cardassians as they attempted to turn the formerly peaceful Megarans into xenophobic killers that they could use as a client state to attack the United Federation of Planets.

Chudak performed most of the "dirty work" for the Cardassian Verden in manipulating the Megarans, who had been surgically altered to appear as a Megaran. He was the power behind the throne of the nominal leader Vo Gatyn. Chudak used his position to rape Gatyn.

After the Enterprise exposed the Cardassians and forced them to leave the system, Federation Ambassador Ralph Offenhouse told Captain Jean-Luc Picard that Gatyn planned to get even with Chudak for his crimes against her, and that she would force him to live up to his agreement with the Megarans.
