The Lost Fleet was the fourth Bravo Fleet Fleet Action which ran from 5 May, 2023 to 18 June, 2023. It consisted of three phases that each progressed the story of the return of the Dominion's Lost Fleet, last seen being removed from history by the Bajoran Prophets and the subsequent invasion of the Deneb Sector in early 2401 by Dominion and Breen Confederacy forces.

The Battle of Farpoint in the Deneb system marked the last major action of the crisis caused by the reappearance of Dominion forces just beyond the Federation's Deneb frontier. Forces of the Lost Fleet, the ubiquitous name applied to the temporally displaced Dominion forces, unwilling to follow the Great Link's orders to stand down and be escorted to the Gamma Quadrant formed up for an assault on Farpoint Station with the intent to capture the regional capital and its facilities to allow for continued operations against the Federation.

Fourth Fleet, with no reinforcements from Starfleet Command, or the old Federation Alliance members, fell back to Deneb alongside elements of the Cardassian Union's 9th Order to defend the system and hopefully break the back of the Dominion assault. As preparations were made to reinforce the system as much as possible, ships that had been dispersed across the Deneb Sector to blunt the Dominion advance were recalled post-haste to join the defenders.

Dominion forces eventually arrived in the Deneb system and began their assault on the system, rapidly moving in system and engaging the defenders on multiple axes. Unbeknownst to all but a few, efforts to engage with the historical Federation Alliance members or their successor states, had been undertaken by Captain Theodoras on the direction of Vice Admiral Beckett. These efforts were largely successful and ultimately timely as the USS Atlantis arrived soon after the Dominion attack began, bringing with it a collection of Romulan Republic ships, a large collection of House Lorkoth forces from the Klingon Empire and a handful of Tholian vessels that were there to ensure no temporal disturbances were present or unaccounted for after the battle.

With the Lost Fleet now sandwiched between two large allied forces, the numerical advantage they had carried in against the defenders had evaporated and more importantly, their strategic and tactical positioning was completely ruined.
