The Access Key was a key that allowed access the Galactic Weather Grid, a weather altering device installed into the Defense Network of all the Planetary Defense Centers in the Polaris Galaxy. Qwark, who was formerly the Galactic President of the Polaris Galaxy, would use this key to change a planet's weather so that it be nice when he arrived. Even after his defeat in a previous election, Qwark kept this key aboard the Starship Phoenix II.
