Shoutout to Quark!

[Krog]

Pretty neat Easter Egg. Seems like Quark is doing well for himself in this semi-lawless part of the galaxy. It’s pretty cool to see that this periphery between the Federation and the Romulans is a sort of Far West.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Mr. Mott is doing alright for himself as well.

 

[Cyrus]

Being the brother of the Nagus doesn’t hurt either.

 

[Charles Phipps]

Being the brother of the Nagus doesn’t hurt either.

Honestly, given Rom's uncharacteristic behaviors, I imagine being the brother of the Nagus has been a regular source of misery and confusion for Quark.

"Hey, Rom, can I set up a franchise of my bar with your help?"

"Yes, sign these labor contracts that will guarantee employees a good wage as well as vacation time plus fair treatment."

"ARE YOU POSSESSED BY PAH WRAITHS!?"

 

[trash80]

I can see Quark and Brunt in a bar sadly shaking their lobes over the old days

 

[Kelso]

Rom wouldn't have made it a week as Grand Nagus.

 

[zenophite]

In this vision of Trek I'm sure Rom was taken out Godfather style years ago.

 

[Hythlodeus]

Am I the only one who misread the title as "Shootout at Quark's"?

Yet he’s still the Nagus’s brother getting to open that franchise and make literal tons of of latinum. That Rule of Acquisition about exploiting family applies.

I'm sure Quark is "franchising" the bar thing ;P

 

[The Wormhole]

Rios also claimed he worked for a "Ferengi named Quark." While this was likely a lie to sell his cover, one wonders if Rios really has met Quark at some point?

I'm sure Quark is "franchising" the bar thing ;P

Which ties in with the novels where Quark has in addition to the bar on the station, Quark has also set up a bar on Bajor as well.

 

[Phily B]

Cool shout out, you could imagine him coming up with such an idea in the post-Dominion World since probably tens of thousands of Starfleet and Klingon personnel passed through DS9 during the war.

 

[WarpFactorZ]

I like the bar's tagline: "What is yours is ours."

 

[Crewman6]

Mr. Mott is doing alright for himself as well.

That was the dumbest easter egg in all of Star Trek history. UUUUUGH.

 

[Crewman6]

I'm sure Quark is "franchising" the bar thing ;P

He even had one in Las Vegas, but it closed in 2008.

 

[Arpy]

Quark and Mott on the same random planet right next door to each other? Plus the Grand Hotel, Venom Garden, and fighting robots specifically pop-up ad marketed to Picard, Raffi, and Jurati? Plus a dabo table joint across the street from Quark’s? Way overkill.

Yup.

It was also just so poorly designed, just a crummy pastiche of every single "red light" district in sci-fi ever.....bleh.

 

[cooleddie74]

Between Ferengi business signs on buildings in Boston and Quark having a bar on Freecloud and possibly a franchise I'd say the leadership of Grand Nagus Rom has been pretty good for both the Ferengi Alliance and his own family.

 

[DaveyNY]

Quark probably has Two Moons by now.
(I'm sure he acquired Brunt's Moon)

 

[DaveyNY]

Yup.

You must be a joy to be around in Vegas.
