DaiMon

DaiMon, or more formally DaiMon of the Ferengi, was a command rank used by the Ferengi Alliance. DaiMons were authorized to explore new trade opportunities on behalf of the Alliance, and were often empowered to speak on behalf of the Alliance in such matters.   A DaiMon also had the ability to declare any captured starship to be "a loss and open to claim according to the Ferengi Salvage Code."   DaiMons were, however, held under strict guidelines in maintaining their command post by the Ferengi government, who had the power to assign or strip an officer of their command. The simple misdeed of engaging in an unprofitable venture could lead to them being stripped of their command. Revenge was highly frowned upon, and evidence of one being unstable and dangerous, could result in prison time.
