History and specifics

Empok Nor in 2375.

In the year 2372, soldiers of the First Order's Third Battalion were left in stasis aboard the Nor-class space station Empok Nor when the Cardassians abandoned that facility. At the time, the battalion's motto was, "death to all." These soldiers were encountered by a Starfleet away team scavenging technology from Empok Nor in 2373. After killing several Starfleet crew, the exiled Cardassian Elim Garak dispatched the soldiers. (DS9 episode: "Empok Nor")

In 2375, during the Dominion War, detachments of the First, Third and Ninth Orders destroyed a Dominion cloning facility on Rondac III under Legate Corat Damar's Cardassian Liberation Front. This marked the beginning of the Cardassian rebellion against their Dominion overlords. Legate Damar broadcast the information about the orders' action publically. (DS9 episode: "The Changing Face of Evil")

In 2378, Barada Damar, First Speaker of the Cardassian Reclamation, replayed Legate Damar's speech to visitors from the USS Theseus on Cardassia Prime, including his uncle's reference to the First Order. (ST - IDW - The Red Path comic: "Part 4")
