During furious fighting in Y180, a Klingon squadron broke through Hydran lines. Although the Klingons were unaware of it, they were headed directly toward the undefended main supply base in that sector. The Hydrans had to slow this force down until main fleet elements could intercept it. The only available units were two ad-hoc flotillas of replacement PFs. The crews were ordered into a suicidal attack.
Aftermath[]
The Hydrans pressed home their attacks in desperation. The D7L and D6B sustained minor damage; the D7B, F5L, and F5B were crippled while the F5D was destroyed. The Klingons continued the raid with the two lightly damaged ships and sent the others back to their lines, towing the boom of the F5D. With their supplies of drones depleted and their available firepower drastically reduced, the Klingon raid did not do as much damage to the Hydran supply center as they might have. They were forced to withdraw when additional Hydran reinforcements were detected en route.
Two days after the action, the Hydrans recovered seven survival pods from the scene and used the crews as a nucleus for four new flotillas.
