[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] The Federation knew about the Ferengi for a good deal of time before Encounter at Farpoint -- they seemed to know rough information (a race of traders), and also their general territorial bounderies. First contact between official emissarys of the Federation (namely, Picard & Co.) didn't occur until [i]The Last Outpost[/i], although it was later implied that the Ferengi had had (I'm assuming, "third party") contact with the Federation beforehand. To be honest, though, TNG itself altered the Ferengi more then DS9 did -- at first they were shown to be very militaristic, and then their economic background was showcased and the military aspect of their culture was abandoned. The Cardassians apparently knew about the Ferengi for a long, long, long time before Federation contact -- perhaps the Federation learned of Ferengi business interests during the Cardassian Wars from Bajoran militia members? One other thing -- the Federation had no specific data on the Ferengi. Data commented that they were roughly as advanced as the Federation, in that the Ferengi were more advanced in some fields, and less in others. [/QB][/QUOTE]
