The Battle of Prexnak was the most important battle in Ferengi history. Ten Ferengi stood alone against two hundred and seventy-three Lytasians. The short lived battle was over when all ten Ferengi involved were slaughtered. It was the first and only time the Ferengi Alliance engaged in military action.
Quark mentioned the Battle of Prexnak to point out that Ferengi were just as tough as anybody in the galaxy, in regards to their mission of rescuing his mother, Ishka, from the Dominion in 2374. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")
Background
In the early days of TNG, the Ferengi were intended to be an enemy powerful enough to challenge the Enterprise, but their role evolved into entrepreneurs who were politically neutral as that series and especially DS9 further developed them. As such, the closest thing the Ferengi have had to military experience is pirating and other fringe operations, often involving formidable D'kora marauders.
