The counter-insurgency program was a security measure designed for a hypothetical revolt by Bajoran laborers aboard Terok Nor. It was installed by its commanding officer, then-Gul Dukat, during the Occupation of Bajor because the Bajorans far outnumbered their Cardassian overseers.
   
On Deep Space 9, a control junction was a site containing control terminals for station systems. In 2371, Commander Sisko went to a control junction on Level 34 to direct the energy of the station's overloading power reactor into its deflector shields.
   
Miles O'Brien and Jake Sisko investigated the possibility of turning the ore processing section of Deep Space 9, formerly used for processing uridium using Bajoran slave labor, into a deuterium refinery.
   
At some point, Dukat's father had once trusted Elim Garak, which according to Dukat was his only flaw. Dukat's father was later put on trial, where he claimed he only regretted that his ambition outweighed his patriotism. Years later, Garak would describe Dukat's father as "short-sighted".
   
Frin was a Ferengi and an uncle of Quark and Rom. According to Quark, he owned "thirty bars".
   
One way to shut down DS9's reactor involves manually disengaging the laser fusion initiators in the reactor room, or one of the stations control junctions found on Level 34.
   
The self-destruct sequence of DS9 involves the computer ordering the station's main fusion reactor to disengage the reaction stabilizers, causing the reactor to overload, and the station to destroy itself.
   
Gaila was a Ferengi arms dealer who was successful enough to buy his own moon. Odo noted that he knew Gaila to be a more devious Ferengi than Quark, his cousin.
   
Quark's father Keldar advised Quark not to leave Ferenginar, saying he had enough business opportunities at home, but Quark preferred to listen to the seventy-fifth Rule of Acquisition ("Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum.") and left Ferenginar.
   
Kell was a legate in the Cardassian Central Command and Gul Dukat's commanding officer during the Occupation of Bajor.
   
A laser fusion initiator is a subsystem of Cardassian fusion reactors which provides the energy input needed to bootstrap their reaction processes. According to Gul Dukat, Deep Space 9's reactor could be shut down by disabling the initiator.
   
Neurocine gas is a toxic gaseous compound used by the Cardassians. It was lethal to both Bajorans and Humans.
   
A neutralization emitter is a Cardassian device which surrounds its target with an energy field for restraining purposes. It can cause death to the person surrounded after an unspecified duration of contact.
   
Benjamin Sisko and Jake had scheduled a racquetball game in 2371, but it was delayed due to the activation of Dukat's counter-insurgency program.
   
In the middle of a crisis on Deep Space 9, Dukat ordered red leaf tea as he was mocking the crew stationed in Ops.
   
DaiMon Tye was a Ferengi officer in the Ferengi Alliance. Although not knowing Tye personally, Odo described Tye as more devious than Quark.
   
In its raw form, uridium can explode if exposed to an electrical charge. The Cardassian mining station Terok Nor was used to extract and process uridium from Bajor during the Cardassian Occupation.
