SECOND BATTLE OF AXANAR
STARDATE: 1/9409.29, AXANNAR SYSTEM, 2250 HRS FST

     
HERE WE GO AGAIN:
From a lecture in Contemporary Federation Military History FEH-313/2J
After Captain Garth’s overwhelming victory at the Battle of Axanar, he received additional reinforcements and moved Into the Axanar system itself. By executing a flawless Delta-­Z maneuver against the Klingon force in what is now known as the Second Battle of Axanar, Garth soundly defeated their seven-warship invasion fleet and accepted the surrender of Klingon Admiral Kkorhetza.

Though it was touch and go for a while, the eighth ship, a T-3A assault transport, was located on the surface of the planet. Its crew was recovered, and a tractor beam placed on the vessel. This same ship now rests in the Star Fleet Space­flight Museum on Luna.
