Ferengi Commerce Authority

Ferengi business regulator

The Ferengi agency that enforces business law and can strip a Ferengi of the right to do business.

The Ferengi Commerce Authority, or FCA, regulates trade across the Ferengi Alliance and punishes those who break its laws. Its liquidators can seize assets and revoke a Ferengi's business licence, a penalty that leaves the offender a social outcast.
The FCA liquidator Brunt repeatedly targets Quark on Deep Space Nine, first in Family Business over Ishka's illegal earnings. Brunt briefly becomes acting Grand Nagus in Profit and Lace before Zek reclaims his post.
