The Battle of Ricktor Prime was an engagement in 2375 involving the Federation and the Dominion, that took place during the Dominion War. (DS9: "Field of Fire")
Starfleet assembled the Fifteenth Fleet, Twenty-Second Fleet along with multiple supporting wings of Klingon Defense Force and Romulan Star Navy starships to engage the Dominion at Ricktor Prime.
After surviving two waves of attacks the alliance lines were broken by a Jem'Hadar battleship that took advantage of the weakened state of the fleet and single-handedly destroyed dozens of ships. The battleship also destroyed the USS Grissom, killing Admiral Hannah Stallsey the commander of the alliance fleet.
The Dominion fleet penetrated further into Federation space before been engaged at the Eldronath system by the Thirty-Third Fleet. This allowed the pursuing fleet from Ricktor Prime to catch up to the enemy, trapping the fleet. The Federation alliance obliterated the Dominion fleet, including the Jem'Hadar battleship.
In the end it was a costly victory for the Federation alliance with 115 Federation, Klingon and Romulan ships destroyed at a cost of nearly 30,000 lives. (The Dominion War Sourcebook: The Fires of Armageddon)
