First Battle of Vulcanis

The First Battle of Vulcanis was a military engagement between the Federation Alliance and Dominion forces in the Vulcanis system in 2374.

Dominion-Cardassian forces, this time comprised of Jem'Hadar ships with the Nineteenth and Twenty-Forth Orders acting in suport, advanced all the way to the borders of the Vulcanis System and thus uncomfortably close to Earth itself.

The Fifth Fleet halted them near ther Systems Oort Cloud. The Key to stemming the Dominion Tide was the Akira wing commanded by Captain Bentok Vithsoomparul, which used it's superior torpedo firepower to keep the enemy at a distance and destroy or cripple many of it's ships.

After Starfleet bolstered Vulcans defenses with the Thirteenth and Thirty-First Fleets, the Federation Alliance launched a counteroffensive against the Dominion invaders, in eight weeks of intense bloody fighting, Starfleet pushed the Dominion-Cardassian Fleet back from Kir-Alep (Vulcanis VI) to a front line two light years away, in the process Starfleet Lost 127 Ships and nearly 20,000 personel, but inflicted equal and in some cases greater casulties on the enemy.
