The Ferengi Alliance

First Contact with the Federation: 2364

Home planet: No data avalible
Planet class: No data avalible

Technologically sophisticated humanoid race that was long a complete mystery to the Federation prior to first contact at planet Delphi Ardu in 2364. Possessing a strict code of honor, Ferengi philosophy ruthlessly embraced the principles of capitalism. The Ferengi are sexist in the extreme, and do not allow their females the honor of clothing, although Ferengi males often find human females very attractive. Betazoids are incapable of empathically reading Ferengi minds. This may be due to the unusual four-lobed design of Ferengi brains. Dopterians, whose brains are structurally similar to those of the Ferengi, are similarly unreadable by Betazoids. Shortly after first contact with the Federation, Ferengi entrepreneurs saw new opportunities and quickly assimilated themselves into Federation commerce, as did Quark, a Ferengi who established a bar at Deep Space 9. One Ferengi quote says, "Never ask when you can take." Another Ferengi saying is "Good things come in small packages."
