Really? How? Empok Nor was a completely new concept for the episode that it appeared in, and everyone got what the intent was. Let's imagine for a moment that the station that was gutted and replaced by LCARS is named Grempok Nor. All we need is O'Brien griping every now and then, "our shipment of computers was diverted to Grempok Nor again! Just because they're closer to the Klingon border..." or "hey, Quark, drinks all around! I finally won that bet with the engineer of Grempok Nor! I crawled through every access tube in the station in less than a week before he did!"

As for the evil Cardassian counterpart, call it Brintak Nor. I can just hear Dukat now. "You still have voles? We do weekly sweeps of Brintak Nor for all sorts of vermin. My fighting vole would've killed all of these runts by now!" etc. You don't need to devote an entire episode to something to make it an interesting idea. Heck, how much screentime did jumja sticks get and we still remember what they are?
