Steerage overseers were officials led by Constable Marcel Shradeer who were authorised to intervene whenever problems arose between passengers on board the AA-9 Freighter-Liner Jendirian Valley. The freighter was populated by several of the overseers, who carried stun batons and were able to force troublesome passengers to disembark whenever the starship next landed. These strict measures allowed all passengers traveling on the Jendirian Valley to travel in relative peace and tranquillity.[1]
