Saowin was a humanoid representative of a planet in the Delta Quadrant that was assisted by the Think Tank in the 24th century. His world was plagued by seismic reactions until the Think Tank devised a planetary containment field to restore the planet's geostability in 2375. After the task was completed, the Think Tank demanded a shipment of bernicium ore. Since Saowin's people needed the ore to repair the replicator systems that fed them, Saowin claimed it was buried in the last set of quakes (when it was actually hidden), and offered rubidium instead. Unfortunately, Saowin was persuaded to proceed with the original agreement when Kurros threatened to turn off the planetary containment field. (VOY episode: "Think Tank")
