Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x06 "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place"
khaosworks@startrek.website 1 year agoWe know that by 2400 there are Ferengi cadets graduating from Starfleet Academy and by the 32nd Century there’s even a Ferengi Captain, among other Ferengi officers.
While not being a Federation member doesn’t preclude you from serving in Starfleet, there’s that to consider.

Nog served in Starfleet already during DS9 though. The first one of course, but still.

Correct, but that wasn’t what I was addressing - it was whether there was any further indication that Ferenginar did successfully join the Federation, so I was pointing to possible post-2381 indicators.

Aren’t they a member world in Disco?

It’s not clear. They did send a delegation to the Ten-C summit, but so did Earth who wasn’t a member at the time. There’s a background star map in an earlier episode that shows “Ferengi Territory” as opposed to it being part of the Federation, but it’s barely visible.
