Despite their constant scheming, we prevented the Quarks from putting one over on us, or each other. All that remains is to deliver our verdict in this arbitration.
We were unable to keep both Quarks at the negotiating table and get them to agree to our decision. We'll have to try again after they cool off.

Average cost per unit assumes 3 standard rewards per run. Please Do NOT include results from "Double-Up" Adwarps. Double-Up results are not random and will skew results. Drop multipliers for components were removed on June 1, 2016 without affecting drop rates; pre-June values for common Emitter Crystal and basic Microconnector are divided by their former multiplier per policy.The droprate of dominion seal appears to have radically changed, seem to be getting a bit less than 1 per run now - this needs to be rechecked!

Notes

One reward node requires an Undercover Operative with Medicine.
- Originally the only candidate was the Super-Rare Rakal Troi, who gained Medicine only as her third ability. Unfortunately her Medicine never reaches high enough to complete the mission on Epic, only Normal and Elite.
- The Undercover Operative trait has since been added to Commando Crusher, making her an option. She can complete the node on Normal/Elite easily, and on Epic with a near-maximum proficiency roll thanks to the bonus from her Physician trait.
- Later events introduced Changeling Bashir and Waitress Ezri as additional options; Changeling Bashir is the only character (as of Nov.2016) capable of reliably completing the node, also thanks to the Physician trait, but Waitress Ezri is a capable substitute and only requires an above-average proficiency roll to succeed.
Previously the same node required Spy, a now deprecated trait that was shared only by Tailor Garak and Luther Sloan. None of them had Medicine, making the node impossible at the time.
