Definitely Klingon. The ferengi were just too sneaky for my liking. I want my bad guys to wear it on their sleaves.

Good topic though.

Ferengi are where it's at.

There's no reason why they couldn't have included the cultural aspects that you mentioned, but there was no reason why they went and made them the biggest pansies outside of the Federation. There's no money in killing people. It's best to keep them alive an exploit them.

There's more to being a badass than just swinging a weapon around, Lonestar. One day, when you leave the military, you will grow to appreciate how badass economic manipulators are.
