| '''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|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 Story==
| |
| ===Background===
| |
| ====Return of the Lost Fleet====
| |
| In February of 2401<ref>Lost : https://bravofleet.com/story/76502</ref> the crew of the research ship ''Sef'' under the Trill scientist Doctor Marl Trojet attempted to reproduce the work of Doctor Lenara Kahn - the creation of an [[MA:Wormhole#Artificial_wormholes|artificial wormhole]]. Due to scientific institutions across the Federation not willing to entertain Trojet, he was forced to conduct his experiments without support and outside of Federation space.
| |
|
| |
| The artificial wormhole that was created by Trojet et al however was not a true wormhole with two fixed aperture points. Instead, the aperture that his team had managed to create, inherently unstable much like Doctor Khan's was in the 2370s, had pierced into whatever pocket of reality that the Prophets, the entities residing within the Bajoran Wormhole, had stashed a Dominion invasion fleet that had been transiting the wormhole during the height of the Dominion War and effectively blockading the Alpha Dominion from support from home territories.
| |
|
| |
| These vessels, now free, had not experienced the passage of time and were still on a war footing, believing the Federation to still be their target. While they found themselves out past the Federation's Deneb frontier, their leaders continued with the orders they had when they had departed - assaulting, conquering and occupying Federation territory in the name of the Founders and the Dominion.
| |
|
| |
| ====Invasion of the Deneb Sector====
| |
|
| |
| ====Fourth Fleet response====

| |
| }}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, 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|USS ''Atlantis'']] arrived soon after the Dominion attack began<ref>What Price for Peace - 20 : https://bravofleet.com/story/82569</ref>, 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.<ref>Lost and Found : https://bravofleet.com/story/82958</ref>
