The planet Khosla II was the place of residence of the
Ferengi entrepreneur Plegg in the late 24th century, who is largely
credited with the invention of holosuite technology. |

|
|
|
In 2370, Odo informed Quark of Plegg's whereabouts when
Quark attempted to defraud customers into buying counterfeit desiccation
discs allegedly containing Plegg's remains. |

|
Plegg was a great Ferengi orator and entrepreneur. Quark
said of him that "he took a computer chip and turned it into the modular
holosuite industry, bringing holographic entertainment to the most
remote parts of the Alpha Quadrant, creating profit centers from
societies that could barely afford to feed their own people". |

The Ferengi death ritual consists primarily of preserving
a Ferengi body after death by means of vacuum desiccation. The process
results in the Ferengi's body being reduced to a near powder, which is
often stored in a set of 52 disks, marked with the Ferengi Seal of
Dismemberment, and sold as a collectible on the Ferengi Futures
Exchange. |
