The original purpose of the Empok Nor station has not been revealed. Empok Nor was later abandoned by the Cardassians, and laid largely forgotten for some time. Later, Chief Miles O'Brien of Deep Space Nine found that DS9 required parts, and that the best option would be to salvage the parts from Empok Nor. He led a team of Starfleet engineers, as well as Ensign Nog to the station. They were accompanied by Garak who went along to help deactivate any security devices left behind at the station.

The team was able to salvage the materials required. However they found three stasis tubes. Two tubes were empty, the other contained a Cardassian corpse who had been dead for about one year. The other Cardassians were loose on the station with a bio-engineered component in their system which turned them into killing machines who began killing the members of the salvage team. While on the station, Garak also became infected with the drug. In a biologically induced insane state, Garak killed the other Cardassians on the station, as well as the final member of the salvage team, before being subdued and cured; for his part, Garak expressed extreme regret for what he had inadvertently done, and since he was under the influence of a drug administered without his knowledge, Garak was promised by O'Brien that the truth would be known and Garak would not be held responsible for his actions. Regret was a famous racehorse, foaled in 1912 to Broomstick and sired by Jersey Lightning. ...
The station again sat empty for a time. The Dominion forces eventually kidnapped Ishka, the mother of DS9 bar owner, Quark. They arranged with the family to exchange her for a Federation prisoner of war, a Vorta named Keevan, at Empok Nor. While at the station, Quark's brother Rom accidentally mentioned that the Negus had offered a reward of 50 bars of gold-pressed latinum, instead of the 20 bar reward that Quark had told the rest of the team. As a result, the rest of the team gets angry at Quark for lying, and Quark's cousin tries to kill Quark with a phaser. However, the assailant misses and accidentally hits Keevan, killing him. Using neural stimulators, however, Nog is able to revive Keevan's motor functions (although he is still dead) and enable Quark to complete the transaction. Of course a snag occurs during the prisoner exchange, forcing the Ferengi to act quickly to avoid getting killed by their Dominion contacts. The Ferengi were able to double-cross and capture the Vorta sent to meet them at the station. In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Dominion is a ruthless and militaristic Gamma Quadrant state, consisting of many different races, with ultimate power held by the xenophobic Changelings. ...
