- Bribery is the granting of political favors in return for something of value. This does not include political contributions, nor does it include favoring one's own commercial interests, or the interests of family members. The Bush Administration has not been accused of taking bribes, but has been accused of extensive and often improper action on behalf of legal corporate donors in industries such as oil, coal, pharmaceuticals, and timber, and of Saudi Arabia, which works closely with The Carlyle Group. President's father, George Herbert Walker Bush has worked for Carlyle as Senior Adviser.
- In 2267, James T. Kirk from the mirror universe attempted to bribe Spock after being detained on board the USS Enterprise in the brig once he arrived there due to a transporter accident. The mirror Kirk offered Spock the chance to be a "rich man". (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror" ) Nu'Daq attempted to bribe Data in 2369 to learn the results of a computer analysis before it was revealed to everyone. Data, however, bluntly called Nu'Daq out on it, who subsequently said to forget it. (TNG: "The Chase" )
- Allied Spies go around carrying wads of cash, and are authorised to periodically distribute them to nearby enemy ground troops. Inevitably, when shown the benefits of capitalism and consumerism, they will join the Allies. Even Soviet Apocalypse and Imperial King Oni pilots will undoubtedly be won over. Bribery cost $1000 per use and the Spy will also lose their disguise. Take note that certain units - Bears, Dogs, Commandos - will not be so easily corrupted and cannot be bribed, nor can certain sea and air units.

| - Bribery (Emphases) Bribery is a Temptation emphasis which allows a character to master the art of offering another financial gain.
- Bribery is a Corruption option available to the Zann Consortium.
- Bribery is a spell.
- Enemy Garrison no longer produce troops.
- Allied Spies go around carrying wads of cash, and are authorised to periodically distribute them to nearby enemy ground troops. Inevitably, when shown the benefits of capitalism and consumerism, they will join the Allies. Even Soviet Apocalypse and Imperial King Oni pilots will undoubtedly be won over. Bribery cost $1000 per use and the Spy will also lose their disguise. Take note that certain units - Bears, Dogs, Commandos - will not be so easily corrupted and cannot be bribed, nor can certain sea and air units. Since mind controlling does not exist in War of the Three Powers, bribing is the only way to convert enemy units to your side. It should be noted that heroic units (the highest level of promotion) cannot be bribed.
- Characters with this skill have mastered the art of buying favours. They know who to bribe, what to offer, and how to go about it. They have a +20% modifier to Bribe tests.

- In 2267, James T. Kirk from the mirror universe attempted to bribe Spock after being detained on board the USS Enterprise in the brig once he arrived there due to a transporter accident. The mirror Kirk offered Spock the chance to be a "rich man". (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror" ) The Cardassian military was rife with corruption. During the Occupation of Bajor, Quark was able to conduct illegal business at his bar, as he knew Gul Dukat could be bribed into looking the other way so long as it was nothing that would gain the attention of his superiors. Other officers like Boheeka were willing to do Quark a favor now and again if the price was right. (DS9: "Necessary Evil", "The Wire") Nu'Daq attempted to bribe Data in 2369 to learn the results of a computer analysis before it was revealed to everyone. Data, however, bluntly called Nu'Daq out on it, who subsequently said to forget it. (TNG: "The Chase" ) In 2371, Quark planned to offer the family of Kozak a bribe if they sought him out and found his fabricated explanation for Kozak's accidental death unsatisfactory. (DS9: "The House of Quark") That same year in the mirror universe, Elim Garak bribed Terran slaves in an attempt to increase the amount of ore that they processed in Terok Nor's ore processing center. Doing so, along with torture and executing unproductive slaves, failed to increase production enough to meet quotas set by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. Intendant Kira Nerys suggested randomly executing workers instead. (DS9: "Through the Looking Glass") Officials in the Ferengi Commerce Authority (FCA) routinely bribe their way to power. Liquidators make up for this by charging citizens for virtually everything, even knowledge of what crime one has been charged with. The line between bribery and standard business proceedings often becomes blurred, such as at the Tower of Commerce, where visitors must pay three strips of latinum for the use of a chair while they wait and one strip if they wish to stand. (DS9: "Family Business") When Rom had second thoughts about marrying Leeta, he considered bribing her into signing the standard Ferengi waiver females must sign prior to a wedding; however, he failed to take into account that the waiver would bequeath all of her property to him, making the bribe rather pointless. (DS9: "Ferengi Love Songs") Liquidator Brunt was discharged from the FCA only to bribe his way back into power and position himself to become acting Grand Nagus when Zek was briefly deposed. (DS9: "Profit and Lace") Part of Grand Nagus Zek's reforms, once he wrested control back from Brunt, was to make all bribes tax-deductible. Quark was outraged to hear this news, because he had never thought he would hear the "T-word" on Ferenginar. (DS9: "The Dogs of War") Starfleet officers are often considered immune to bribes due to their moral code, which strictly prohibits such illicit behavior. However, they have been known to succumb to greed on occasion, becoming involved with organizations such as the Orion Syndicate. (DS9: "Honor Among Thieves") Additionally, in 2374, Captain Benjamin Sisko made a bribe himself when Quark inadvertently became ensnared in his plot to draw the Romulan Empire into the Dominion War. In order to prevent Quark from pressing charges against Grathon Tolar, who had attacked him, Sisko agreed to several of Quark's demands, including getting station security to release several cargo containers that they had been holding due to Quark's not having the proper import license. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight") In 2376, The Doctor had several daydreams when his programming was taken over by new algorithms he'd added to his holoprogram. One of these was that Neelix had baked him a cake, which The Doctor thanked the Talaxian for, adding that it wouldn't get him out of his checkup. (VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy")
