Ferengi are a humanoid species from the planet Ferenginar, in the Alpha Quadrant.

HistoryEdit

In an incident that was later hushed up, first contact between the Ferengi and Earth accidentally occurred in the year 1947.

See Memory-Alpha article Little Green Men for full account.

In another unofficial incident, first contact occurred, again by accident, in 2151, where a group of Ferengi boarded the Enterprise (NX-01) in search of plunder. They were subsequently stopped and deported, though no official record was ever logged.

A third unofficial incident occurred in 2355 when one of their ships attacked the USS Stargazer.

Official first contact took place nine years later.

In an unknown date, the ferengi government found Friazghuk and gave the local species, the Frazgh, suits that hold their bodies, giving them sentience, but at the cost that the Frazgh give them some profit.

SocietyEdit

The Ferengi have a society that is based on the acquisition of wealth. This so engulfs their ideology that many outside races have developed stereotypes regarding Ferengi and their "greedy" ideology (Starfleet cadets are even taught about how to deal with Ferengi, in a course alongside other known threats such as the Q).

PoliticsEdit

The Ferengi species is organized into the Ferengi Alliance, which is presided over by a Grand Nagus.

The ferengi own part of the Frazgh government.
