The reason people hated Quark was because of his greed, exploiting his employees, made shady deals, and was a real con artist.

You are right Amebruz about the Ferengi. Commander Riker once refereed to them as "Yankee traders" I don't recall the Ferengi ever being involved in the Domion war. Do you?

no, rom was scared that the dominion would take control of ferenginar. once quark said that ferengi never go in war, the just treat with other races, so that commercial excange would peacefully exist. and I don't remember who said answered that they are just cowards. but if I remember good federation asked to ferengi to go in battle with them

Thanks for the info Amebruz! Now that you mention it, I do remember something about what you were referring to about the Ferengi and the war.

In the episode that Quark's mother is captured by the Dominion a reference is made during rescue drills that Ferengi have to be paid to fight.

Aebruz. Yes that line was really funny. The Ferengi had a Vorta who was to be ex chanced for Quark's mother on an abandoned space station that had the same design as DS9. They got into an argument and one of them accident shot and killed the Vorta. The Ferengi were able to negotiate with the Dominion and escape with Quark's mother safely

Empok Nor was a creepy place. This also made the Ferengi uneasy. In a previous episode an away mission to salvage parts encountered a couple of Cardies who killed several people before being killed themselves

The Cardassians are xenophobic....had a fear of other races. This was evident in thier dealings with the dominion when the were part of it. There are examples of this in the interactions of Damar and Weyoun towards the end of the war. They realy didn't trust each other!

It was too bad when the "Defiant" was destroyed by the Breen energy dampening weapon. For a while after this battle, only Klingon ships were immune to the Breen energy weapon. This immunity was discovered accidentally by some of the settings being different on one of the Klingon ships in the battle. The Klingons were out numbered 20 to 1, but still kept on fighting the Dominion until a way was found to negate the effects by the Breen weapon by the federation and Romulans.
