The battle also proved to be one of the bloodiest, with both sides giving no ground during the conflict. The attacking Federation force proved victorious, but was badly damaged by the defending Klingons, many of whom were acutely aware that the war was ending. Fearing that they would not get a chance at honorable death in combat, the Klingons fought to the bitter end.
