Ferengi

The Ferengi are a pirate race from Ferenginar, and are considered to be some of the best traders and merchants in the Trek Galaxy. They allied themselves with the Federation early on to secure their finanical future but cannot provide much combat support to their allies since their race is rather weak. Instead, they manage a lot of trade and financial law enforcement

Their involvement in the Federation has gained them a lot of respect amongst Humans, and Ferengi are one of the few races that are welcome almost everywhere. However, there are some Ferengi that take advantage of this natural trust and go rogue, becoming vicious pirates and attacking Federation ships. However, most Ferengi are suprisingly helpful and informative.
