Part of the problem was the attempted merging of Cardassian and Federation technology, which likely complicated everything. But I like to think there was a “Miles O’Brien” running around Empok Nor, kind of like:
That one Klingon who was super into science
In an episode of Enterprise there was a Klingon lawyer who talked about the honor of law and finding the truth. I’m sure you could definitely have a respected Klingon scientist character and still make it sound Klingony with the right motivation. “To best the mysteries of nature and discover the true nature of reality is an honorable calling” or something like that.
The Lower Decks/SNW crossover references a similar thing with Orions. Everyone assumes they’re all pirates and scoffs at the idea of an Orion science vessel until Tendi says “well somebody had to build all the starships!”
It’s a Cardassian made station; what do the Cardassians do without their own Miles O’Brien? 🤔
let it be eaten by voles
They produced the necessary suffering with Bajoran slaves. Not as efficient as Miles so they had to get a lot of them
Why go to the trouble of draining all 12 slaves in the case when you can just take one shot of Keiko

Dude even remarked that Klingon culture was previously less focused on combat/conquest.
