It's the feminine version of "marquis" apparently. If anyone else was wondering what the fuck a marchioness was
You say that as if any of us know what a marquis is.
It's a member of the 24th-century paramilitary organization-terrorist group of the same name of course! Notable members will include Laren, Torres, Chakotay, and even one of the Riker twins.
I stopped actually reading your post when I realized I just wanted to make the Star Trek joke but then I realized I was actually in fact reading the Star Trek joke.
They're all suspiciously good looking, that is how you know they're secret rebels for a lost cause.
I just watched a YouTube video today about Ben Sisko and his fighting the Marquis and how my current views have made me dislike him and his actions. He had overtaken Picard as my favorite but I think I'm back to Picard being my number one favorite captain.
Sisko is the only one who ever just punched Q in the face.
Quite a rude thing to do to the man who just saved the Federation, don't you think?
I think it's that thing on a movie theater
No, it's a tent you set up in field to hold wedding receptions under.
From Wikipedia:
A marquess (UK: /ˈmɑː(r)kwɪs/;[1] French: marquis [maʁki])[2][a] is a nobleman of high hereditary rank in various European peerages and in those of some of their former colonies. The German language equivalent is Markgraf (margrave). A woman with the rank of a marquess or the wife (or widow) of a marquess is a marchioness or marquise. These titles are also used to translate equivalent Asian styles, as in Imperial China and Imperial Japan.
In Great Britain and historically in Ireland, a marquess ranks below a duke and above an earl. A woman with the rank of a marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness /ˌmɑːrʃəˈnɛs/.[3] The dignity, rank, or position of the title is a marquisate or marquessate.
I only know because of Final Fantasy Tactics.
So I know they're vampires already.

It's a fairly common title, so you should know what it is if you were born West of Turkey.
Ah, you see I was born east of Turkey where titles mean nothing despite being part of the Commonwealth.
My condolences and congratulations on not being born in the US.
Bud, the US literally outlawed aristocratic titles. And good riddance to them. The only time a US citizen sees a word like 'marquis' is in a world history class in college.
Which shows how poor your public education is. The monarchy was disbanded in Brazil in the year 1889; We still learn about it in grade school history.
A marqui is a Native American in a spaceship.
Marquis? No, that's a set of large, lit-up letters. You're thinking of a Marshal.
Marquee is a signboard with light up letters, my liege.
