Star Trek Late Night
Ferengi Corporate Zone
The Ferengi Corporate Zone was established in 2391 following a coup detat. Currently the zone is run by 72 Ferengi corporations and patrolled by Garidian Peacekeepers. The FCZ is at war with no nation but tensions are high with the United Federation of Planets. This is largely in part due to the Privateer Act of 2391. This act allows Ferengi Corporations to sell Letters of Marque to any ship captain, which grants that ship rank within the Ferengi Star Navy. Many ships who have received these letters have gone onto become raiders and pirates. The Ferengi Corporate Zone turns a blind eye to these actions so long as it recieves its cut of 20%.
The Ferengi Corporate Zone is bordered by the following states: the United Federation of Planets, the Cardassian Union, the Breen Confederacy, and the Tzenkethi Coalition.
The zone is ruled from Ferenginar. Many large cities are present around the planet, but the capital city is by far the most impressive city on Ferenginar. Due to the near-constant levels of torrential rain, the buildings are kept under domes to keep the Ferengi dry. Dominating the capital city is a huge spire, the Tower of Commerce, which marks the Sacred Marketplace, and the seat of government for the CEO of the Ferengi Corporate Zone.
