Det officiella Impel Star Trek-handelskortet för Symbolen för Ferengi Alliansen innehåller följande information om dess omvänd:
The behavior of the Ferengi Alliance and its race can often seem sinister or underhanded. Actually, the Ferengi follow their own very strict code of ethics. They seem so aggressive because they are the galaxy's most extreme capitalists -- they seek to acquire as much property and profit as they can in life. Conquest in trade or business is as important to the Ferengi as victory in combat (if not more so).
The Symbol of the Ferengi Alliance is a graphic representation of their narrow view of life: a "dog-eat-dog" world is represented by a small circle being engulfed by a larger symbol, which itself is being "eaten" by another!
