The Federation has set up the Ferengi as Governor of the Phoenix Colony through an ugly deal between General John Wayne and Zek Ishka. Now the Phoenix Colony falls under the authority of the Ferengi crime lord.
He is trading with the Federation to ensure they get their dilithium. He is abusing the Omega Enriched dilithium producing stations throughout the colony. He is an arrogant a**hole.
It is time for the colony to end the Ishka Infection.
