Vodis Vodanis was a 23rd century Sordinian male. By the 2250s, Vodanis served as the Prime of Sordinia IV. In the early 2250s, Vodanis was elected as Prime of Sordinia IV and served as the leader of his people. Shortly after, the United Federation of Planets established contact with Sordinia and began making overtures with them for admission to the Federation. Vodanis welcomed the Federation envoys with open arms and came to understand them, as well as helping them to understand Sordinians. Although some of his counselors were unsure, he was able to convince them of the advance of science, trade, culture and more importantly, defense that the alliance could bring. Soon after, Sordinia IV joined the Federation.
