    This Ferengi mission is doubly attractive due to its relatively easy requirements and potentially high point value. Greed and Acquisition are of course so common among the Ferengi affiliation, you won't need to worry about getting them. Geology can come from several good sources, including the universal Letek (who also has MEDICAL) and Nava (who also has SCIENCE). Astrophysics is a little bit trickier, but Par Lenor and Tol are among the many good solutions. As for Latinum... if you can't come up with some spare Latinum to discard in your Ferengi deck, maybe you should consider a different affiliation. ;-)

    Combo:

    • Purchase Moon + 1st Rule of Acquisition: Not only does this seedable event let you download one Latinum for meeting this mission's requirements, it lets your downloads of Latinum come from your discard pile. After you complete Purchase Moon for big points, you can download the Latinum back and use it again.
