| - Although the Cardassian guards normally kept the Bajorans in line, Dukat and his superiors wanted to ensure they were prepared for the worst. He inconspicuously buried the counter-insurgency program deep inside one of the station's computers, which was accessible from computer stations within ore processing. In the event of a worker revolt, the Cardassians were instructed to execute the otherwise innocuous-looking file, and it would deal with the problem until such time as the Cardassians regained control and deactivated it. Dukat made several recordings of himself so he could address the workers via the program, creating the appearance that he was in full control even if he became incapacitated. When the program was activated, the station's operations center would be alerted to the situation as his message attempted to negotiate with the workers. Though he promised to be lenient if they surrendered, the military officials whom the program attempted to contact through subspace communications would have had no intention of keeping Dukat's promise. If the leader of the revolt informed the computer of their surrender, it would wait for Cardassian authorities to enter an access code. Should the Cardassians fail to deactivate the program or the situation escalate further, it would flood ore processing with neurocine gas. If the workers escaped or the insurgency spread and resulted in an escape from ore processing, the program was set to take control of the station. Force fields would secure sensitive areas of the station's computer circuitry, Ops and the security office, with similar force fields blocking access to virtually every major doorway on the station. Cardassian officers had the ability to disable these individually long enough to pass through, but a dampening field and other measures would prevent any communication to or from Ops; only the proper command codes could disable the lockdown. If this did not give the Cardassians the proper means by which to stop the insurgency, level two would be initiated. Triggered by the Bajorans attempting to bypass any of the security measures which had been put in place, level two was relatively simple: Dukat threatened to fill the entire habitat ring, which housed the workers' families and friends, with neurocine gas. At this point, all Cardassian personnel would be advised to evacuate the area accordingly. The third level could be triggered by Bajorans bypassing the force fields guarding Ops, presumably thereby gaining access to all of Terok Nor. If the program had not been deactivated by this point, Dukat was presumably dead and the situation hopeless, so a two-hour self-destruct sequence would be set into action. The fourth and most severe level was triggered in the event that tampering was detected with the counter-insurgency program itself (for example, by counterfeiting the authorization code of Dukat). At this level, the replicator in the operations center would produce and power a device that fired random phaser bursts at non-Cardassians. Legate Kell secretly added another level to this sequence: Should Dukat attempt to abandon his post while the auto-destruct sequence was in action, all security codes would be revoked, essentially making the auto-destruct irreversible.

Unknown to Dukat, Legate Kell added another level to the program that cancelled all of Dukat's security codes if Dukat attempted to flee. In 2371, Miles O'Brien accidentally activated the counter-insurgency program, which locked down the station and eventually activated the self destruct sequence. O'Brien and Benjamin Sisko were able to deflect the energy from the overloading fusion reactor into the deflector shields, saving the station. (DS9 episode: "Civil Defense") Odo later rescinded the codes Elim Garak had used to move around the station freely when the program was activated, citing them as a risk to security. (DS9 novel: Hollow Men) In 2374, Leej Terrell activated the counter-insurgency program to allow her escape from Deep Space 9 with an Orb of the Pah-wraith. (DS9 video game: The Fallen)
