BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS: Nephew of Quark and son of Rom, who lived on Deep Space 9 in 2369. The young Ferengi was apprehended by Odo as he stole from the assay office on Deep Space 9's Promenade in 2369. Nog's mother was Prinadora. Nog became good friends with young Jake Sisko on the station, and the two boys once created a fictitious company, the Noh-Jay Consortium, for their commercial exploits. When Nog's father, Rom, forbade Nog to attend school on the station, Jake taught him how to read. In 2371, Nog underwent the Ferengi Attainment Ceremony. He asked Benjamin Sisko to be his role model (SEE: Ferengi Code) and asked Sisko to recommend him for admission to Starfleet Academy. Following Nog's decision to join Starfleet, he studied in earnest for the Starfleet Academy Preparatory Program, despite his uncle Quark's opposition. In 2372, Nog sold his childhood belongings prior to leaving station Deep Space 9 to attend Starfleet Academy. Nog joined his father and uncle on the ship Quark's Treasure for the trip to Earth, although the journey was slightly delayed due to an unanticipated time trip to the year 1947. In 2373, Nog returned to Deep Space 9 on a Starfleet Academy cadet field-study assignment. While there he roomed with his friend, Jake Sisko. (In an alternate future in which Ben Sisko was believed killed aboard the Defiant in 2372, Nog became a commander in Starfleet by 2391, and a captain by 2405. SEE: Sisko, Jake.)
