The Archanis Campaign was a conflict between the United Federation of Planets and the Hunters of D'Ghor in 2399, primarily in the Archanis Sector territory held by the Federation. It began with D'Ghor raids against Federation colonies and Starfleet infrastructure, the region under-defended after over two decades of peace with the Klingon Empire. Starfleet responded by dispatching the 4th Fleet to bolster defences, provide humanitarian support to civilians, and pursue and eliminate the D'Ghor. After multiple weeks of operations, the D'Ghor launched a consolidated assault against key Federation systems, a surprise strike anticipated by Starfleet, who were reinforced by a strike team from the Klingon Defense Force. The ensuing Battle of Archanis was won by the KDF-Starfleet forces, with the D'Ghor forces decimated and the leader Kuskir, son of D'Ghor, captured.
While lone raiders may remain in the sector and the campaign has left the region devastated and vulnerable, the sustained D'Ghor assault and significant Starfleet mobilisation is over.
Background
In mid-2399, a faction of D'Ghor ships assembled under the leadership of Kuskir, son of D'Ghor. Starfleet has limited knowledge of Kuskir's background or previous role within the Hunters, though he was believed a less influential member of the family than the heir apparent, D'Ghor's daughter D'Ghenas. At some point he secured the loyalty of enough D'Ghor captains to form a significant independent strike force, which he directed to raid Federation territory.
The Archanis Sector had long been considered by Starfleet a low strategic priority. The region had not been militarily vulnerable since the Klingon-Federation conflicts of the 2370s, and the subsequent stability of the Khitomer Accords meant few resources were directed to the border's defense. This, and the dense civilian population and rich local economy made the sector a prime raiding target for the D'Ghor.
