Batal was the location of a labor camp operated by the Cardassians on Bajor during the Occupation in the mid-24th century. In 2366, Bajoran slave Anjohl Tennan died in the camp. (DS9: "The Changing Face of Evil") Retrieved from "http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Batal" Gallitep labor camp Gallitep was a forced labor camp on the planet Bajor that was run by Gul Darhe'el during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. Conditions in the camp were considered to be brutal and hostile. Among those who worked there was Aamin Marritza, a file clerk. Darhe'el was one of the most brutal overseers of any labor camp on Bajor. Innocent Bajorans were executed on a regular basis, but not before they were tortured and humiliated. Mothers were raped in front of their children as their husbands were beaten beyond recognition, and the elderly who were unable to work were buried alive. In many cases, Bajorans were forced to dig their own graves, literally. As his reign of terror continued, Darhe'el's hatred of the Bajorans and his zealous view that his actions were justified in the name of the Cardassian Empire led to outright genocide. On more than one occasion, he gave his men very simple orders: to kill Bajoran scum. When they returned, they were covered in blood, but in his eyes they were dead. A mining accident at Gallitep caused toxic gases to be released, resulting in Kalla-Nohra Syndrome, a unique condition identifiable by the damage to the respiratory system and other areas of the body. As Darhe'el was on Cardassia Prime at the time, he was unaffected, but Bajorans and Cardassians alike who were present at the time became terminally ill. The camp was liberated by the Shakaar Resistance Cell (of which Kira Nerys was a part) in 2357. The Bajoran survivors became a symbol of strength and courage to the rest of the Bajoran people. (DS9: "Duet", "Shakaar") Marritza, posing as Darhe'el, says that he was enraged during the evacuation of Bajor, and ordered his overseers to begin slaughtering all the Bajorans in the camp. This would imply that the camp was re-opened later by the Cardassians, although this has never been stated on screen. In 2372, when war was briefly declared between Ferenginar and Bajor, Quark and Rom were interned at Gallitep, where they endured hideous treatment at the hands of the camp's insane warden, Colonel Mitra. (DS9 novel: The 34th Rule) Hutet labor camp The Hutet labor camp was a labor camp on Cardassia IV, under the command of a Cardassian Prefect. The compound was surrounded by a standard Cardassian force field, which could be operated by a hand-held remote control. It was one of the few places that still held Bajoran prisoners of war in 2370, a full year after the end of the Occupation of Bajor. Prisoners held there were assigned the task of collecting rocks in baskets. That year, Boslic freighter Captain Rionoj visited the camp, where she was given a Bajoran earring by a Bajoran maintenance worker, that belonged to Li Nalas. A short time later, Kira Nerys and Miles O'Brien traveled to Cardassia IV aboard a runabout to search for Li, only to discover around a dozen Bajoran prisoners held in the camp. After a daring rescue attempt, several of the prisoners were released. Ravinok The Ravinok was a Cardassian prison transport in service during the 24th century, that was under the general command of Dukat. It was partially composed of a uridium alloy. In 2366, the Ravinok and its crew of 18 were assigned to transport 32 Bajoran prisoners to a labor camp. En route, it was scheduled to rendezvous with a freighter, bound for Lissepia, to transport two civilians that were also aboard the ship, Tora Naprem and Tora Ziyal. The transport was attacked by two Breen warships and forced to crash-land on Dozaria. Twelve of the persons aboard died in the crash, while the rest were forced to work in a nearby Breen dilithium mine. The Cardassian Central Command never learned what had happened to the Ravinok, until 2372 when Bajoran smuggler Razka Karn obtained a fragment of the transport's forward sensor array. Major Kira Nerys mounted an expedition to find the transport, since her friend Lorit Akrem was one of the prisoners. Legate Dukat joined her, to find Tora Naprem and his daughter Ziyal. (DS9: "Indiscretion") Singha refugee camp The Singha refugee camp was a labor camp where Bajoran refugees were forced by the Cardassians to work during the Occupation of Bajor. Kira Nerys and her family were held at this camp. Nerys' mother, Kira Meru, was believed to have died there of malnutrition in 2346. In fact, she spent her remaining years as a comfort woman for Gul Dukat in order to ensure decent food and lodging for her family and to keep them out of the mines. (DS9: "Shadowplay", "Second Skin", "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night") Tozhat Resettlement Center http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tozhat_Resettlement_Center The Tozhat Resettlement Center was a facility in Bajor's Tozhat Province where orphans, Cardassian, Bajoran and mixed ancestry were housed. It was governed by an exarch. Officials there included Jomat Luson and Deela, while Cardassian orphans who lived there included Asha. In 2362, during the Occupation, Gul Dukat had a female officer take Kotan Pa'dar's son Rugal Pa'Dar to the Center. Julian Bashir and Elim Garak visited the Tozhat Resettlement Center to investigate after Rugal became the center of a political scandal. (DS9: "Cardassians") Following the runabout's escape from Cardassia IV, in an attempt to cover up the incident, Gul Dukat relayed a message from the Cardassian High Command stating that they had issued a formal apology to the people of Bajor. Dukat claimed that the High Command had no idea that Bajoran prisoners were still being held at Hutet. Those prisoners left behind were to be transported back to Bajor; meanwhile the camp Prefect would be chastised accordingly. (DS9: "The Homecoming") Velos VII Internment Camp - Cardassian Prison Camp where Dr. Dekon Elig, a Bajoran, was imprisoned. He was killed in 2362 while trying to escape from the facility.
