## Description
Get your profit margins ready, because the Ferengi Alliance is here to prove that space is much more profitable than diplomacy! This expansion for Star Trek: Ascendancy introduces a brand-new-faction focused on one-track-mind-style-economics: making money. Forget about building culture nodes or seeking philosophical enlightenment; for the Ferengi, the only-true-god is the bottom line.

Playing as the Ferengi shifts the-game-play-loop significantly. Instead of traditional-advancement, you'll be leveraging unique-rules like 'Profit Over Profundity' and 'War is Good for Business'. While other-players-are-fighting-over-territory, you can be turning their-conflict into your-gain. You can convert production into culture, build production nodes anywhere, and use your Marauders to enforce your-will across the quadrant. 

The expansion also introduces specialized-units and-abilities that allow you to bypass traditional-limitations, such as-moving through warp without exhausting commands. It's a high-stakes-game of economic-dominance where your-goal is to make the-rest-of-the-galaxy look like-small-change compared to your-empire. If you enjoy asymmetric-factions and strategies that reward opportunistic-play and resource-management, this expansion is a must-have for your Star Trek collection. Just remember the Golden Rule: Profit is everything!
