Chapter 19 - The Ferengi Commerce Authority (FCA) (Patreon)

Oh, when he had been knocked out by that brutish human and taken into custody by the Federation, his troubles had only just begun. ‘Galactic incident!’ ‘Embarrassment!’ those fools on the Ferengi Commerce Authority had shouted before they gleefully stripped him of his title, confiscated his ship, and liquidated all his assets, at least the ones they had managed to find. Even his family had turned their back on him! If he hadn’t been caught they’d all have sung my praises and kissed my feet when he’d ascended to Grand Nagus.

Thank the Nagus that he’d long ago secreted away a sizeable percentage of his fortune should his enemies on Ferenginar ever move against him and he needed to flee. If he hadn’t had the foresight to do that, he’d have been left slipless and the wolves would have picked his bones clean. His five murderous and bloodthirsty Nausicaan mercenaries didn’t come cheap or work for free after all.
