In Y181 a Federation Task Force near the Klingon neutral zone was attacked and mauled by the Klingon 77th Gunboat Division. While they knew an attack was coming, their mission was to hold a sector of space, not to retreat at the first sign of trouble. This their story. It is not a happy one.
Aftermath[]
While details are unclear (due to Federation attempts to minimize the disaster and confusion with a subsequent battle in which at least one ship damaged in this battle was destroyed), it is clear that the Klingons overwhelmed the Federation force, destroying two frigates and damaging several other ships. The Konkordium required five months at a starbase for repairs. Losses among the gunboats were estimated as 75% by the Federation and reported as 25% by the Klingons.
