Chenza was an individual referenced in the Children of Tama language metaphorical phrase, "Chenza at court. The court of silence."

In 2368, after Captain Jean-Luc Picard had been transported from the USS Enterprise-D to the surface of El-Adrel IV, Commander William T. Riker contacted a Tamarian deep space cruiser. He demanded from the first officer the return of the Enterprise-D captain and that holding him might be considered an act of war. To this, the Tamarian officer uttered this phrase in anger. At an impasse, Riker ordered the channel closed. (TNG: "Darmok")
