 | | Picard, commanding the USS Stargazer, destroyed the Ferengi ship, which never identified itself, and as a result Bok, the father of the Ferengi who captained that vessel, sought revenge on Picard, first in Next Generation's first season episode, "The Battle", and later in its seventh season, in the episode "Bloodlines". |
 | | In theory, every business transaction that a Ferengi makes is governed by 285 Rules of Acquisition, though the rules themselves give the Ferengi license to cheat, steal, and bend the truth to suit their needs. |
 | | Ferengi rule of acquisition #35 says "Peace is good for business." However rule of acquisition #34 says "war is good for business." Ferengi engage in the practice of selling defensive weaponry to weaker species under attack, in addition to selling to species that are more belligerent. |
