Civil war
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
"The Cardassians might involve themselves in other people's civil wars. But we don't".
- - Admiral Chekote (DS9: "The Circle")
A civil war is a conflict internal to a culture, society, nation, or other political community.
Bajor was on the verge of civil war several times but a solution was often found. (DS9: "Emissary", "Shakaar")
In 2369 a dispute between the two factions Paqu and Navot would've led into a civil war but was solved by mediator Benjamin Sisko. (DS9: "The Storyteller")
Benjamin Sisko believed a civil war would erupt between the Federation and Starfleet if the USS Lakota destroyed the USS Defiant in 2372. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")
