Terok Nor is the original Cardassian designation for the Federation space station Deep Space 9. Built in orbit of the planet Bajor, Terok Nor became operational in 2346. (DS9: "Babel", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")

Its commander, Gul Dukat, had the role of prefect and commander of the planet's occupational forces. Aside from providing a permanent garrison post, Terok Nor was a processing facility for raw uridium ore from the strip mining of the planet below. Using Bajoran slaves who labored in temperatures as high as 55 degrees Celsius, the station was able to process up to 20,000 tonnes of ore a day. (DS9: "Civil Defense", "Things Past")

The Cardassians left Bajor and Terok Nor in 2369. Before they left the station they damaged it as much as possible. (DS9: "Emissary")

When the station was retaken by the Cardassian/Dominion alliance in 2373, it reverted back to its Cardassian designation, and was once again commanded by Dukat. (DS9: "Call to Arms")
