Laraq

Chanc Laraq was a descendant of the [[Garidian Followers of the Lawgiver Avatrunei and by 2370 the governor of Frigis. Like the Lawgiver, he also had made extensive studies of the Chodak culture, an alien civilization which left the planet long before the Garidians, and he was considered something of an expert in the translation of Chodak runes.

He contacted USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) which arrived over the planet. Captain Jean-Luc Picard told him about the Garidian reformers who hoped to use the Lawgiver's words to improve the society of Garid. Reluctant to allow Garidians on the planet, he decided to trust an away team led by William Riker.

Later, Laraq uploaded an Chodak/Garidian translator in the team's tricorders allowing them to operate a machine which held Aelont in a stasis field.
