The Ferengi are supposedly about the same as the Federation in TNG; as their maurauders can give some damage to a Galaxy Class.

But the thing is, The Federation is advanced on one side (Scientific), while the Ferengi is on the other (Economy). Also, ships are really expensive so only big business are allowed to have them.

Cardassians have the ability to research faster than the Federation; but don't have the moolah to make up for it; hence the occupation and genocide and all that.

Klingons are also scientific; but have bloated military budgets and science doesn't seem honorable.

Feddies are Scientific, versatile, all around good guys; Although their defensive maneuvers don't always work to their favor, and scheming ways are taboo. Newer class ships are not always built all the time, but Resourceful crews keep ships in top shape.
