DaiMon is a quasi-military rank used by the Ferengi Alliance. A DaiMon is approximately equivalent to a Starfleet captain. The purchase of this title usually means command of a Ferengi starship, or an official political or military posting.
DaiMons are authorized to explore new trade opportunities on behalf of the Ferengi Alliance. This may include negotiating new trade routes or agreements, even piracy. DaiMons are often empowered to speak on behalf of the Ferengi Alliance, possibly even speaking for the Grand Nagus. (TNG: "The Last Outpost", "The Price")
However, it is not uncommon for DaiMons to pursue profit opportunities that are not approved by the Ferengi Alliance. In such cases failed ventures can result in the loss of command for a DaiMon and, if criminal activity is involved (as may often be the case), disavowment by the Ferengi government.
