Empok Nor (DS9 episode)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Empok Nor is a fifth-season episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which (mostly) takes place on a Cardassian space station Empok Nor that's been abandoned for about a year.

One of the station's plasma distribution manifolds breaks down, and a team is sent to DS9's abandoned sister space station, Empok Nor, to salvage components. The team consists of Chief O'Brien, Garak, Ensign Nog, two other engineers, and two security personnel. Garak is along to help with booby traps targeted at non-Cardassians.

There are no life signs, but in the infirmary they discover two recently deactivated stasis tubes and a third one with a dead Cardassian soldier - a member of the 3rd batallion, 1st order. Their shuttle then detaches from the station and explodes.

During the rest of the episode they manage to eliminate the two soldiers, but Garak becomes extremely xenophobic and plays his own live game of kotra with the unwilling Chief O'Brien.
