FerengiAlliance

Emblem of the Ferengi Alliance.

The Economic Congress of Advisors was a political body of the Ferengi Alliance which was established by Grand Nagus Zek in 2375 to move the Ferengi into a more democratic age.

History[]

The Congress had the power to veto any regulation proposed by the Nagus, and they had to ratify it before it became law. By the end of the year, the Congress had made monopolies and the dumping of industrial waste illegal, as well as instituting labor rights for all Ferengi citizens. (DS9 episode: "The Dogs of War")

In 2387, Grand Nagus Rom presented the Congress with a proposal for a formal alliance with the United Federation of Planets, which was greatly opposed by many Ferengi. The bill failed to pass Congress when several lawmakers were paid to vote against it. (STO website: The Path to 2409, STO novel: The Needs of the Many)

First splinter timeline[]

Thirteen people sat in the Congress. In 2376, Congressman Liph was ejected from the Congress for diverting tax funds to invest in quadrotriticale futures on Sherman's Planet. Liph was replaced by Brunt, who himself was ejected shortly after for forgery of a business contract. (DS9 - Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novel: Ferenginar: Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed) Brunt’s high level access was never rescinded. (DS9 novel: Reservoir Ferengi)

In 2382, the Congress of Economic Advisors ratified Rom's proposal for the Ferengi Alliance to join the Khitomer Accords. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)

When Deep Space 9 was destroyed by the Typhon Pact, as Quark’s bar was the Ferengi embassy Quark was insured for the loss. (DS9 novel: Raise the Dawn)

In 2385, several congressmen were invited by Quark to attend the dedication of the the bar on the new Deep Space 9 station as the new embassy to Bajor. (DS9 eBook: Rules of Accusation)

In 2386, Rom changed Ferengi law to allow Ferengi women to inherit property. As few members of the public attended the meetings of the Economic Congress, the change went unnoticed. (DS9 novel: I, The Constable)
