Sanaht was a Horta who served as representative from Janus VI to the Federation Council for most of the 24th century. He became a Councillor circa 2304, and remained in that position through 2380. He was well respected by his colleagues, but avoided high-profile sub-council appointments throughout his career. Regardless, Z4 Blue and Ashanté Phiri recommended to Federation President Nanietta Bacco that he be appointed to the government oversight council. The president rejected this recommendation.
