Introduction
The easily duped pirate, the swindling merchant, the power
hungry DaiMon, the cowardly gunrunner all are Ferengi
stereotypes seen repeated ly on the various Star Trek® shows.
They are useful to the Narrator as adversaries and enemies, but
are they decent player character archetypes? Probably not. Not
until Star Trek: Deep Space Nine® did we see well-developed
characters o n screen wo rthy of the mon iker Player Ch aracter.
This netbo ok expan ds the optio ns available to players desirin g to
create Ferengi characters for the Star Trek Deep Space Nine
Roleplaying Game!" . Included are expansions to the Ferengi
species description cove ring eras, providing sample ch aracters,
new pieces of Ferengi technology,including the locator bomb,
energy whip and the mind control sph eres and the Ferengi shuttle
pod.
Profit, the Material Continuu m, and the Afterlife
Profit is at the co re of Feren gi culture. Som ething isn t worth
doing unless there is profit to be made. To the Ferengi mind,
why would yo u give away so mething for fre e when you c ould
charge a price for it, and therefore gain something you didn t
have a profit. For Ferengi, this is just the way life and the
universe works. Greater profit equals greater life and a greater
afterlife.
The Great Material Continuum
The Great Material Continuum governs all aspects of Ferengi
life. This belief system posits that all societies exist in alternating
states of having and wanting, and is metap horically seen as a
great flowing river comprised of material acquisitions. If wanting
gains dominance over having or vice versa then the great
river churns and overflows, becoming dangerously unstable. And
as the river go es, so does society. Instability is no t prospero us in
the long term.
A Ferengi in financial trouble often finds himself tossed to the
shores of the great river by a wave of inflation. Similarly, he
might run agro und on a sh oal of hard ship and ha ve to swim to
safety. Finding his w ay back on to the river req uires a Feren gi to
seek financial consolidation, a realigning of his investments, the
selling of his property, or even a loan.
To stay afloat on the river, a Ferengi carefully navigates by
balancing profit and loss, acqu isition and liquidation, while also
keeping an eye out for opportunities farther along the river s
course. O ne who de ftly navigates the gre at river can, in effec t,
steer the river s course toward opportunity. The skilled
Ferengi one with the lobes for bus-iness
earns great
prosperity, and a second chance to pursue profit in the afterlife.
The Divine Treasury
The Divine Treasury is the sacred palace of the Ferengi afterlife.
The walls, furnishings and doors and everything else are
made of gold-pressed latinum. A sign above the entrance to the
Divine Treasury read s, Please have your pro fit-and-loss
statement ready for inspection before entering the Divine
Treasur y.
When a Ferengi dies, his spirit goes before the Registrar of the
Divine T reasury, who decides w hether the Fe rengi deser ves to
enter. This involves much
cringing, bribery, and obsequious groveling. If the
Registrar is imp ressed by the Ferengi s actions, he is
allowed to enter the Div ine Treas ury.
Once inside, the Ferengi bids on a new life under the supervision
of the Blessed Exchequer and Celestial Auctioneers. If the
Ferengi has acquired enough profit in life, he pays for a new one
and is reborn, earning the chance to gain yet more profit. If
theFereng i did not earn enough p rofit, his bid fails and his spirit
is banished from the Divine Treasury and locked in the Vault of
Eternal Destitution forever.
Thus, a Fe rengi gets only o nce chanc e at a profitab le afterlife. A
prosperous Ferengi gains a second life, and if he earns enough
profit again, a thir d, and eve n a fourth. Fer engi myth pur ports
that the richest, most powerful Ferengi throughout history the
Grand Nagi are sometimes actually reincarnations of Gint, the
first Nagus and creator of the Rules of Acquisition.
Vault of Eternal Destitution
An afterlife in the Vault of Eternal Destitution is the worst
possible fate. Every Ferengi banished to the Vault becomes the
property of a Vault Auditor. The Auditors form a council called
the Regulation Committee, which is lead by the Desecrated
Auditor the most powerful and influential Auditor. The
Committee oversees every aspect of business and life in the
Vault. These policies, known as the Laws of Destitution, are
harsh.
The Auditors charge outrageous accommodation expenses, high
income taxes, service charges, and strictly regulate transactions.
Painstaking financial audits and fines await Ferengi who break
the Laws.
Thoug h it is possible, few F erengi ever m anage to b ribe their
Auditor to overlook transgressions. Fewer still gain enough
wealth to buy the title of Auditor and get to own slaves
themselves.
To scar e their children into behavin g, Ferengi m others recite
stories of the D emons o f Despair. T he demo ns are evil spirits
from the Vault of Eternal Destitution Ferengi who were
generous and cha ritable, unconcerned with pro fit, or otherwise
heretical. Legends say that the demons take shadowy forms and
escape the Vault for a time, stealing latinum and other valuables
from miscreant children.
Fereng i Profit M argin
Profit is the driving force of Ferengi culture. All Ferengi seek
it whether it s latinum, property, jewelry, starships, or other
material possessions. The more profit a Ferengi has, the greater
he is respecte d and envied by his peers. A lso greater is his
chance o f influencing fellow F erengi.
Ferengi cha racters have a Profit M argin score (or simply P rofit)
which gains them enhanced benefits and is based on Renown,
replacing Courage as does Klingon Honour. W hen making
Influence, Intimidate, Negotiate, and Persuade tests involving
other Ferengi, a character automatically gains his full Renown
modifier to the skill test. No recognition test is required.
For instance, Nilva, the chairman o f Slug-o-Cola, probab ly has a
high Profit Margin marking him with high favor and influence.
Convers ely, Blog, a F erengi who publishes P akled love poetry,
probably has a Profit of 0 a lobe-challenged fool of uninspiring
potential and influence (with horrible taste in literature).
Encounters
The Ferengi are one of the most well traveled species in the
galaxy. Ferenginar, the Ferengi homeworld, is located in the
Bajor sector, and Ferengi are often encountered in this region of
space. Fe rengi also trav el througho ut the Alpha a nd Beta
quadrants, especially along the valuable trade routes near
Cardassia n and Fed eration spa ce. They c ommon ly ply their
wares in the Gamma Quadrant too, although traders have focused
on systems ne ar the Idran e nd of the B ajoran wo rmhole. R eports
indicate that entrepreneurs have even found their way to the
Delta Quadrant, likely via unstable wormholes or other similar
phenomena.

Ferengi Accountant/Bureaucrat
The Ferengi acc ountant is designed to fill one of the most
important gaps in Ferengi society, a profession of prestige and
trust. It is only the most skilled and most efficient accountant that
manages to proceed up through the ranks to tha t of 'Liquidator', a
rare honour indeed, but usually one that is deserved after many
years of hostile negotiations and other less scrupulous 'hands-on'
methods o f job prom otion...

One of the most fearsome and powerful people in Ferengi
culture, the spe ctre of a visit by FC A Audito rs strikes terror in
Tending bar is a career of some esteem among the Ferengi, and
often a living exa mple of the 7 th rule of acqu isition - Keep your
ears ope n. Bartenders across the universe are renowned for
being a friendly person to talk to, but few pay as close attention
as a Fereng i barkeep . Many dr eam of retiring to the life of a
barkeep, but amongst the Ferengi the barkeep is seen
as a path to a Latinum filled retirement. He is as skilled at
mixing complicated cocktails of flavour, from a Finagle s Folly
or a Risan Sun rise to Romu lan Ale or Klingon Warnog, or even
something as simple as Slug-o- Cola or Terran Root Beer , as
he is at managing those peo ple around them. A good suit is also
part of the unifo rm, but be c areful to reme mber the 4 7th rule
though - Never trust a man wearing a better suit than you
own.

Dabo Girls
Ah, Dabo, the game of kings. What s that? You don t know how

Many Ferengi entrepreneurs go into the hosting trade. It is often
said that while there are many different words for rain in the
Ferengi Language, there are also no streets without a bar on
Ferenginar. One of the key secrets to the hosting trade is to keep
the custome r occupie d and intere sted while you ply them with
Synthohol. A key part of that are the bar games, offering
opportunity to keep the customers mind of the bar prices, give
them an oc casional cha nce at winning (afirm favourite to
encourag e repeat cu stom, just rem ember the odds M UST remain
stacking in the house s favour), and something to look at the
Dabo G irls.
Its important to remember that the term Dabo Girl does not
imply a partic ular game, the y could be playing Da bo, they cou ld
be playing tongo or poker, who cares? That s not what the
customer should be
looking at. The key to a good Dabo Girl is to follow
the key employee guidelines. These differ between various
establishme nts accord ing to the hosts tas tes, but all Feren gi hosts
seem to know them intuitively. Broadly they are;
1 She has to be a female &
2 ..a sexy female.
3 No Fere ngi fema les, Dabo girls have sp ecific
costumes, and Ferengi females must be unclothed.
4 Assets. She s got to have them, if you re distracted
by them at interview, she s hired.
5 The costume. Scanty enough to be revealing, yet
ensuring that no thing is seen. - clothed fem ales are
quite alluring &
Once all these aspects are covered, your players could be playing
chess and nobody would notice "Place your bets and take a

Ferengi Privateer
The Fe rengi Alliance does not m aintain a regula r space nav y per
se. What is known of the Ferengi Defensive forces seems to have
developed from the cultures love and pursuit of gain and wealth.
A Ferengi will self finance to purchase a vessel, hire a crew and
ply the space lanes for pro fit.
It is known that se veral 'influential' individua ls hold the co ntracts
for patrolling a nd defend ing Alliance ter ritory. These contracts
from the Governm ent can be very lucrative and allow the se
'Admirals' to purchase new and b etter ships, and hire the best
personne l, although ma ny frontier con tracts are cor respond ingly
poorly defended due to the smaller retainer fees compensating
those regional patrols. The personnel on these ships are very
similar to privateers upon ancient Earth s oceans, who worked
for their governments in wartime, making their operations
legitimate (at least in the eyes of their government). And as such
they were called privateers, a title that many of these personnel
enjoy for its ancient and romantic connotations (and so much
more ap pealing than p irate)...
Many o f the Admira ls/Owners hire personne l that fall within
their budget, and it is not unusual to find members of many
different spec ies serving on these vessels, ea ch earning the ir pay,
plus a negotiated percentage of any booty. This complex method
of defence does mean that each 'sector' of the Alliance can have
vastly differing operational techniques, and even strengths of
fleet, making illegal activities rife within Ferengi space.
At least they would be illegal if the Alliance authorities felt that
such activities constituted a crime.

Diplomat
The dip lomat believ es the Feren gi can bring c ivilized ideals to
the galaxy. Mercantilism, not war, is the Ferengi way, and many
others will benefit from this philosophy. Perhaps he serves on a
Gamma Quadrant mission to establish relations with new
cultures, or he works to expand relations with the Federation or
other Alpha-Beta Q uadrant powers.
Scientist
The scientist is brilliant but misunderstood. He s an expert in her
field out to prove his talents and gain the respect of prominent
scientists in the galax y. Howev er, his lust for pro fit tarnishes his
reputation and involves her with unsavory scoundrels. A criminal
background haunts him.
Merchant
He s an econo mic thrill-seeker w ho isn t obsessed with
profit he s already wealthy but rather driven by the risks and
rewards of the financial game. H e ll lose a deal without gripe so
long as the negotiations and adventure surrounding it excite him.
He s a big spender, hard drinker, and fast lover. He knows
someon e in every po rt of call.
Rogue
Mercantile affairs are beyond his ken he d barely know a
merger from a take-over from a bankruptcy. However, he knows
people, their desires and their secret vices, so he s a master
manipulator. Perhaps he s a spy in training for a secret
organization like the Orion Syndicate or maybe he s a Starfleet
Intelligence info rmant?
Starship Officer
The starship officer sees a nobler role for Ferengi at large than
profiteering. He also wants to show his Starfleet superiors that
he s a team player and a leader. Other Ferengi see his lack of
latinum lust as weakness, an example of the poison other
cultures, particularly the Federation, feed to Ferengi to control
them. But he s proud of his goals.
Soldier
For years, his unusual burliness and propensity for violence
landed him jobs ab oard pirate vessels. The kind of jobs most
sane Ferengi won t touch since they involve high personal risk
and little profit return. But he was good at it, tough, even
businesslike. Unfortunately, his temperame nt and unabashed lust
for one boss s mistress proved his undoing. N ow, he s a
homeless mercena ry, having worked for the Ro mulans,
Cardassians, and other shadowy types. But he desires more than
latinum and v iolence he needs a cause. Per haps to red eem his
vagabo nd past?

My stic
Her ethereal wisdom may have come by spiritual epiphany, years
of study and contemplation, or simply an alien entity that put the
zap on he r head. Re gardless, she h as donne d clothing, rid herself
of needless material possessions, and abandoned the traditional
selfish Ferengi ways. Her enlightened sensibilities lead her on a
pilgrimage to share her wisdo m with others.

The Rules of Acquisition
A living and breathing document that forms the core of Ferengi
culture, treated with significant reve rence by all F erengi. Th is is
one of the d ocumen ts that all Ferengi c hildren are e xpected to
learn and understand by rote above all else. It is a collection of
rules guiding a ll aspects of Fe rengi com merce and many a
businessman will try to lay out their guidance in parable format
in the hope that one day they may find their simple lesson added
to the Law of Acquisition. Or better yet find new insight from the
existing laws As a game mechanism the Laws of Acquisition and
knowledg e of the laws is no t going to be a Law skill spec iality,
Instead it is simply a check against Culture (Ferengi) skill. For
this reason all F erengi temp lates should inc lude this culture sk ill
as a core discipline. Of course players (characters) with a
knowledg e of the Laws of Acquisitio n can simply p ick a quote
and hope it applies without a skill check. There is nothing wrong
with this scattergun approach to the Laws of Acquisition in fact
many Ferengi often seem to use them this way, too.

The Complete Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition
Once you have their money, never give it back

53.
54.
55.
You ca n't cheat an hon est custome r, but it never hur ts to
try
Never sp end mor e for an acq uisition than you h ave to
Sex and profit are the two things that never last long
enough
If you can't break a contract, b end it
Never let fam ily stand in the way o f opportu nity
Always keep you ears open
Keep count of your change
Instinct plus op portunity eq uals profit
A dead customer can't buy as much as a live one
Latinum isn't the only thing that shines
Anything worth selling is worth selling twice
Anything worth doing is worth doing for money
Anything stolen is pure pro fit
Acting stupid is often smart
A deal is a deal ... until a better one comes along
A ba rga in us uall y isn 't
A Fereng i without profit is no Ferengi at all
Don't lie too soon after a promotion
When the customer is sweating, turn up the heat
Never p lace friend ship before pr ofit
Wise men can hear profit in the wind
Never take the last coin, but be sure to get the rest
Never ask when you can take
Fear makes a good business partner
The vast majority of the rich in this galaxy did not
inherit their wealth; the y stole it
The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you do
with it after you cut it down
Morality is always defined by those in power
When someone says "It's not the money," they're lying
Talk is cheap; synthehol costs money
Never make fun of a Ferengi's mother
Be careful what you sell. It may do exactly what the

Pursue profit; women come later
Good customers are almost as rare as Latinum - treasure
them
Friendship is seldom cheap
Fee advice is never cheap

want it."
Justification: Moral excuse used to explain & "I must
have it!"
Appropriation: To take to one's self in exclusion of
others & "IT'S MINE AT LAST!"
Obsession: A compulsive or irrational preoccupation
& "My Precious!"
Resale: The actio n of selling som ething previo usly
bought & "Mak e me an offer."
Eras
Enterprise
Ferengi are rarely encountered and virtually nothing is known of
their culture or te chnology. F erengi enco untered ou tside their
own territory in this era are likely merchants seeking untapped
markets or raiders with stolen warp-capable ships. Starfleet
Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew successfully repel a group
of Ferengi privateers from taking over the starship Enterprise
although, at the time, the crew has no idea the raiders are
Ferengi.
The Original Series
The Ferengi remain an enigmatic species. Those encountered are
merchants, free traders, rogues, prospectors and pirates. The
state of Ferengi-developed technology remains unknown, but
myriad alien technologies are available to rich Ferengi
entrepreneurs. Those who can t afford to pay for technology
steal it. Small and organized pirate fleets form under powerful
crime bosses, first staking Ferengi influence within wide-ranging
interstellar black markets and laying the groundwork for what
becomes the Ferengi Alliance fleet. The Ferengi reputation for
treachery becomes widely known among species ensnared by
their business acumen.
The Next Generation
The Ferengi Alliance utilizes its burgeoning military fleet and
expand s its sphere of ec onomic c ontrol to ma ny star systems in
the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Official First Contact with the
Federation is made in 2364. In the late 2360s, the Federation s
Starfleet has several hostile encounters with the Ferengi, further
spreading the species reputation fo r roguery an d deceit.
Howev er, mistrust bree ds resentme nt among F erengi, espe cially
those few not solely motivated by profit. The scientist Doctor
Reyga, for e xample, see ks the respec t of his peers for his
development of metaphasic shielding. Unfortunately, aboard the
Enterprise-D a Federa tion vessel no less he s murdere d by a
rival scientist befo re reaping th e professio nal benefits of his
genius. Ferengi say this kind of hate and violence is all too
common among peo ple who claim to be civilized. Ferengi
encountered in this era are not just rogues, pirates and other
nefarious types, but also military officers, scientists, traders and
merchants.
Deep Space Nine
The Dominion W ar does little to change the course of Ferengi
society. During the conflict, many Ferengi turn to (or continue)
smuggling and blockade running. Others, such as Quark
(Propr ietor of Qu ark s Bar, Gr ill, Gaming H ouse, and H olosuite
Emporium Arcade, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quark
Enterprise s, Inc.), run mo stly legitimate busine sses while
hoarding illegal profit on the side through b lack market auctions,
double-d ealing, and o ther shady ac tivity.
However, change does come to Ferengi society from within by
Grand Nagi Zek and Rom . Both introduce reforms to Ferengi
law that permit women rights of equality and profit earning,
resulting in a more open, if still greed-focused, culture.
Furthermore, Rom s son, Nog, becomes the first Ferengi
admitted to Starfleet Aca demy. Altho ugh Nog s acclimation is
troublesome, he ultimately proves a capable and respected
officer during the Dom inion W ar.
Ferengi encountered in this era are increasingly from
legitimate, respected professions diplomats, scientists and
starship officers. Most Ferengi still work as merchants, traders or
entrepreneurs. Of course, befitting Ferengi temperament, there
are always tho se pirates and scoundre ls who prefer theft to
business.
Voyager
Ferengi encountered in the Delta Quadrant have likely arrived
through a wormhole or some other unstable stellar anomaly. For
instance, Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager
discover two Fereng i masquerading as god s to the Takarians.
The hucksters scheme is thwarted, but they escape and are
pulled into a wormhole. Other similar encounters might
occur the distances and dangers Ferengi overcome in pursuit of
profit often know no bounds. Ferengi who manage to reach the
Delta Quadrant must be either keenly adept or fabulously lucky
(or unlucky). These might be maverick scientists, daring
prospectors, hopelessly lost traders, or outlaws on the run.
Technology
Locator Bomb
Specifications: 20 cm diameter, 2 kg
Description: The locator bomb is a short-range attack device and
a popular, if excessively violent, tool employed by Ferengi
assassins (elimina tors). The locator bo mb can b e remotely
controlled or programmed to track and attack a target. To
identify its quarry, the device utilizes so phisticated p heromo nic
sensors. T he locator b omb's antigra vity propulsio n unit enables it
to fly at a rate of 20 meters per round. The most common
explosive used in locator bombs is a mixture of sorium and
argine. Th e bomb can only op erate for three hours befo re its
power cell needs to be replaced or recharged. Locator bombs are
illegal devices, banned on m ost civilized worlds.
A locator bomb can be employed two ways by programming or
remote co ntrol. Prog ramming a locatorbo mb to attack a specific
individual req uires a Difficulty 10 Computer (Programming) or
Demolitions (Locator Bomb) skill test. In order to attack a
target, the ope rator must first ac quire a phe romonic scan to
program into the bomb. The remote control transmitter device
can be used to scan any individual s pheromonic signature if the
user is within 2 meters (no test required). Remotely operating a
locator bomb requires a Shipboard Systems (Sensors) or
Demo litions (Locato r Bomb ) skill test, with the difficulty
modified by the
range to the target and any other appropriate modifiers. When
operated remotely, the controller manipulates the bomb's flight
and attack capabilities with a hand-held transmitter. Maintaining
line of sight to the target grants a +2 bonus.
The bomb s sorium and argine residue is detectable with a
tricorder scan (and an appropriate Demolitions, Investigate or
Science skill test as determined by the N arrator, typically at least
Difficulty 7 or 10) after the bomb explo des.
Range: 5/10/20/30+20 m, Blast Radius: 4 m, Damage: 5d6+10,
Drop Off: -10/m Duration/Energy: 3 hours (replaceable power
cell)
Fereng i Energy Whip
Specifications: 1.5 m length, 1 kg.
Description: The energy whip is a ranged energy weapon
primarily used by Ferengi m ilitary personne l. When th e whip is
cracked it releases a high-energy plasma discharge that streaks
toward a target in an undulating blue wave. Those struck by the
wave are stun ned for 15 minutes. Attack ing multiple targ ets with
an energy wh ip increases th e TN b y +3 per tar get. All targets
must be within 5 meters of eac h other. Th is attack require s only
one com bat action, b ut uses up two charges pe r target.
Damage: 3-8, Power: 150 charges, Range: 5 metres
Mind Control Spheres
Specifications: Controlling Sphere: 1.2 m diameter, 70 kg;
Amplifying Sphere: 50 cm diameter, 15kg
Description: This system consists of two spheres, a master
controller and a brain-wave amplifier. The system allows the
person operating the controlling sphere to manipulate the
thoughts of the victim. The sphere can create a controlled
hallucination a nd use it to misle ad the victim into all manner o f
actions. Th e system has a v ery long rang e and is relative ly
simple to use. These spheres can only be set to operate on one
humanoid being at a time. Destruction of either sphere ends
control. The device works better it it references a strong memory
of the victim. The Controlling Sphere must be within 100,000km
of the Amplifying Sphere, which in turn must be within 1000
metres of the target being.The Ferengi consider the use of such
devices illegal and do not tolerate their use at all. The Ferengi
Alliance has outlawed the use o f the Mind Contro l Sphere. These
systems may b e purchase d on the bla ck market, b ut the price is
staggering.
Once the controller ha s activated the sphere, it takes 1 D6 days
for the process to begin to work on the victim. After the time lag,
the Narrator must must make a secret saving roll against the
intended v ictim's PER+ WIL sc ore each d ay. If the contro ller is
making use of a specific memory on the part of the victim,
subtract 1 d ie from the die roll. If the target fails his sav ing roll
two days in a ro w, mind co ntrol is establishe d. Once th e link is
established, the person needs another 1D6 days operating the
controlling sphere to alter the mental state of the victim.
Therea fter, the contro ller can make the victim relive a memory,
make the vic tim relive an alter ed mem ory, or mak e him
experience an altered perception ot reality. The control can be
broken by destroying either sphere or by making a successful
Saving Roll against the characters PER+WIL score two days in a
row. The person operating the controlling sphere would then
have to begin the process anew to re-establish the link.

Bar Tend er (2 years)
Queeg was born to Quorg and B uka on Ferenginar in 2350 and
his early years we re spent learn ing the tricks of the tra de in his
brother Quack's successful smuggling ring. Queeg's father,
Quorg, served aboard a D'Kora class Marauder, but was killed
during a failed mutiny against the ship's Daimon when Queeg
was just six years old. In his late teens, Queeg quickly tired of
being an indentured slave to his older brother and sneaked away
to seek out his own fortune among the stars. Fortunately for
Queeg, the years he spent "shaving" his brother's latinum
provided him with a decent amount of venture capital. Queeg
regretted leaving his "moogie", but such is the nature of Ferengi
life. After all, you should "never allow family to stand in the
way of opp ortunity".
Queeg moved from sector to sector, working with various
nefarious crim inals, thugs and c on men. H e eventually m et a
Ferengi named B rak. Brak opera ted a gun running business,
dea ling mos tly w ith th e Ca rda ssia ns an d M aqu is, a nd Q uee g's
talents and skill impressed him. The pair managed to make a
decent am ount of latinum and gained a reputation as comp etent,
skilled gunrunners. Somehow they always managed to stay one
step ahead of both the Cardassians and the Maquis, either of
whom wo uld have sur ely killed the two o ff if knowledge o f their
double-d ealing leaked out.
Queeg and Brak worked together for five years, but things
became to-hot-to-hand le when the D ominion sta rted to stick its
nose into the affairs of the Alpha Quadrant. Queeg and Brak
shutdown their operation and parted ways. Queeg had made a
significant amount of money during the years with Brak, enough,
in fact, to purchase his own ship, the "Elegant Pelican". The
Pelican has been modified and re-built several times using
technologies from the Fed eration, Klingons, Ferengi, and o thers.
Queeg live d on De ep Spac e Nine for a while and wo rked with
Quark (the station's notoriou s Ferengi ba r-owner) sev eral times.
Recently, Queeg and several associates (two rather
hard-to-handle Klingon cousins, Kronak and Lektor, and an
Andorian who once was a Starfleet officer) were involved in a
business deal selling a shipment of sub-space detonation devices
to a Bajoran Vedek with ties to the Maquis. Unfortunately, the
deal went sour when the Klingons thought they should be
rewarded with Queeg 's ship. Needle ss to say, Que eg quickly
parted co mpany with the rabble-ro using Klingo ns, escaping with
his life and his ship intact. Queeg has recently taken up residence
on Cretok Nor.
Appearance and Personality:
Height: 1.6m
Mass: 50kg
Complexion: orange, Hair: bald, Eyes: blue
Queeg is tall and slender for a Fe rengi. He typically wears a
bright, multi-coloured suit, plenty of jewellery, and large,
mirrored sunglasses.
Queeg is a quick-witted, sneaky, self-confident trickster. He has
a love for fast ship s, fast women a nd even faste r profits! His
gaudy suit co llection is the envy o f many Feren gi and he lov es to
wear as much jewellery as he can fit on his fingers, neck and
lobes. Since his confrontation with the Klingon cousins, Queeg
is constantly accompanied by two burly Nausicaans, who also
serve as his ship hands. Queeg is a bit more aggressive than the
average Ferengi, a result of his shady life and tendency to find
himself "lobe deep in the action" quite often. Queeg has severed
ties with his family. Because of this and his elegantly forged
financial documentation, Queeg has attracted the attention of the
FCA on several occasions. Fortunately, he has eluded any kind
of fine or punishment. Queeg's older brother Quack is jealous of
his success and takes every o pportunity to try and create trouble
for him.

Early Life History: Family Business
Quark wa s born in 23 26 to K eldar and Ishka. Acco rding to
Ishka, Keldar wasn't a very successful businessman, but he knew
"everything" about family. His son, Rom, confirmed his lack of
financial acumen, noting that he went from one bad deal to the
next. However, Keldar was still a very traditional Ferengi, and
refused to take business advice from his wife, despite the fact
that she was actually far more adept at financial matters than he
was. He once said to Quark, "I don't know what I'm going to do
about that fem ale...", referring to Ishka's headstro ng tendenc ies.
Prior to opening his bar on Terok Nor, later Deep Space 9,
Quark se rved as an a pprentice for a sub-nag us, and app arently
was set for a golden future in the Ferengi business world.
Unfortunately, he forgot the one hundred and twelfth Rule of
Acquisition ("Never have sex with the boss's sister"). Disgraced,
he was fired and had to start again from scratch.
At some point, Quark served for eight years as a cook aboard a
Ferengi freigh ter. Despite b eing a coo k, Quark c ommon ly
carried a d isruptor pisto l with him at all times, b ecause (in
Quark's words) "every member of the freighter's crew thought
himself a food critic."
Height: 1.6m
Mass: 65kg
Complexion: orange, Hair: bald, Eyes: blue
Even though he engaged in numerous shady ventures, by Ferengi
standards Quark was a compassionate and generous man who
proved his worth and loyalty to nearly all DS9 crew members
throughou t the years, gaining th eir well-earned respect.

Background Notes:
Birthplace: Fenginar
Birthdate: 2332
Professional Packages: Bartender, Starbase Operations
Professional Career: Grand Nagus
Rom's mother, Ishka, loved Rom very much and protected him.
She saw that he was a good man, unsuccessful in commercial
ventures, but with a good heart. Ironically, she saw Rom as being
more similar to his father Ke ldar, whom Quark m istakenly
idolized, although he too was a terrible businessman. Quark,
conversely, was more like her. Ro m and Ishka were ve ry close
when he was a child, and they remained close when Rom moved
away from Ferenginar. Rom never quarreled with her over her
lifestyle, nor resented her for earning more profit than him. Ishka
was his "Moogie." He supported her against both Quark and the
Ferengi Commerce Authority. When he admitted to being
somewhat uncomfortable with being in Ishka's newly clothed
presence in a private discussion between them, she disrobed, but
"only for him".
Quark exploited and belittled Rom all of his life. Growing up,
Quark often teased Rom about his smaller lobes and about
supposedly being adopted. He worked in Quark's Bar for low
wages, and was cheated out of his share of the profits. When
Grand Nagus Zek visited Deep Space 9, Q uark made Rom give
up his quarters for the Nagus. When Zek appointed Quark to be
the new Grand Nagus, Rom conspired to kill Quark, and may
have succeeded if Zek and Odo h adn't arrived at the last
moment. Quark later praised Rom for his treachery. At first Rom
did whatever Quark demanded. But as time went on, Rom began
to resist his brother's demands. Rom became less afraid of Quark
and confronted him over many issues. When Quark dropped
Rom's share of the profits from 14.3% to 12.5% (from
one-seventh to one-eighth share of profit), Rom left and joined
Martus Mazur in opening a rival bar. When Martus began
treating Rom even worse , he returned to Quark's wh ere he cou ld
at least "be c heated by fa mily." He o pposed Quark o ver his
treatment of the ir mother, who against Feren gi law earned profit.
He refused to allow Qu ark to stop h is son Nog 's admission to
Starfleet Academy in late 2371. The following year, he
single-handedly organized a union of Quark's employees after
Quark had cut their wages. He defied his brother and Liquidator
Brunt, who the Ferengi Commerce Authority had sent to resolve
the situation. After the wages had been restored, Rom made the
final break with his brother. Rom joined the maintenance crew
on Dee p Space 9. But, throu ghout all the co nflicts with his
brother, he and Quark loved each other very much. This was
evident whe n he becam e jealous o f Quark's relation ship with Pel.
Rom exposed "him" as a female during a visit by Grand Nagus
Zek in 2370.
Rom became sick due to being overworked. He became angry at
the working conditions in Quark's, and formed the Guild of
Restaurant and Casino Employees. Brunt arrived at the station
and threatened Rom, when this failed he had Quark beaten and
threatened to kill him. Rom ended the strike when Q uark secretly
agreed to his demands. He followed this up with an application
to join the station's Bajoran engineering crew and joined Chief
O'Brien's maintenance team, initially working in waste extraction
as a Diagnostic and Repair Technician, Junior Grade. Rom
re-calibrated the deflector beam at O'Brien's request. O'Brien
was ordered to do this by a Pah-wraith who had taken over
Keiko O'Brien's body and had threatened to kill her. Rom
informed O'B rien that the recalibration would send the deflector
beam into the wormhole and kill the aliens inside it. O'Brien was
able to rig the beam to hit the alien and save Keiko. As Rom kept
O'Brien's secr et safe until Keik o was no lo nger in dang er, this
endeared Rom to O'Brien, who promoted him. He was further
promoted to Maintenance Engineer, First Class in mid-2375.
A se ries of ev ents thro ugh the y ear s all con trib uted to R om's
elevation to nagus. In 2375, Rom eventually became Grand
Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance. At first the Nagus Zek ignored
Rom, believing him to be of poor business sense and not very
intelligent. Zek disagreed strongly with many of Rom's choices
concerning his son Nog. Zek did not like the idea of Nog
attending a Human school, and was opposed to Nog entering
Starfleet. But events and Ishka would influence the improvement
of Zek's attitude to ward Ro m. Rom h elped resto re the nagus to
the Ferengi ways after the nagus had been influenced by the
wormhole aliens. He helped restore Zek as the Grand Nagus after
Brunt had deposed him. Rom became the perfect choice for
Nagus b ecause he h imself had ne ver been a traditional Fe rengi.
Zek believed that he would be an excellent successor for the
newly reformed Ferenginar.

Professio nal Career : Stock M arket Tra der (cove rtly)
Ishka was married for many years to Keldar, a Ferengi who
unfortunately d id not any gre at skill at business, an d bore him
two sons, Q uark and R om. Qua rk left home e arly and ma de his
own way in the galaxy, while Rom stayed at home with Ishka,
whom he fondly called "Mo ogie".
Where Keldar did not have the typical Ferengi lobes for
business, she did, and after his death, against Ferengi tradition
(and law) she began to dabble in the Stock Market and Futures
Trading . She mad e a great de al of latinum, bu t was eventually
found out and was forced to return her illegal earnings. With the
help of her son, Rom, she actually only paid back a third of the
real sum.
Soon after, she became involved with then-Grand Nagus Zek,
and quick ly became his primary finan cial advisor a nd de facto
power behind the Ferengi throne. Zek began to lose his faculties
and she was kidnapped by the Dominion, forcing Quark, Rom
and Nog to recruit an unlikely group of Ferengi to rescue her.
Although financially cunning and rapacious, the Ferengi band
was less than suited for this task, but managed not only to rescue
her but capture her Vorta kidnapper. Not long after, Zek decided
to retire to Risa with Ishka for he alth reasons a nd named Rom his
successor. Ishka remains Rom's financial advisor.
Complexion: orange, Hair: bald, Eyes: brown

Ishka is a Ferengi woman of mature years. She is protective of
her "Zekkie" and her sons, and has a will of steel. She pionerered
Ferengi females' right to wear clothes and to earn profit. A few
years ago, she went to Vu lcan to have a lobe-lift.
