Broik was a male Ferengi, an employee of Quark's at his bar on Deep Space 9 throughout the 2370s. (DS9 episodes: "Emissary", "The Dogs of War") In April 2376, Broik suggested replacing shelves damaged in a Jem'Hadar attack on DS9 with some made from more expensive higher grade Foamet, trying to justify the expense in terms of durability. Quark would not hear it. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One) In 2385, Broik welcomed Data and Geordi La Forge to Deep Space 9, where they wanted to talk to Vic Fontaine. (TNG novel: The Light Fantastic)
