Y180

• Y179 was a disastrous year for the Coalition, with Klingon forces almost completely ejected from Federation space. During the fighting, a small Klingon task group, at great cost to itself, succeeded in turning back one of the Federation attacks for a short time. Another Federation attack was mounting, however, and the position was untenable, but several units were too badly damaged to withdraw. The local Klingon commander directed these units to conceal themselves near a small planet on the outskirts of an otherwise uninhabited system, planning to organize a counter-attack to retrieve them later, but it never materialized due to a lack of available forces, forcing the Klingon High Command to write off the units. Unaware they had been abandoned, the Klingons did their best to survive and wait for help, not daring to transmit any messages for fear of revealing their position, and assuming no messages were sent to them for the same reason. Late in 2580, the Federation police cutter U.S.S. Deputy happens upon the Klingon ships, now far behind the lines. Approaching the apparently derelict and abandoned hulks, the ship's Andorian commander was surprised to discover they had some fight left in them, but refused to run from the battle that he was offered. After an exchange of fire and some maneuvering, however, the Federation police ship sustains damage to its photon torpedo launcher and withdraws, while the Klingons lost one of the booms. Two weeks later, a Federation NCL arrives to find the remaining Klingons prepared to surrender, but their ship self-destructs before any surrender can occur.

Y182

• The U.S.S. Kongo participates in Operation Cavalry, and fights in the Cavalry Charge Battle during the retreat from that operation. The ship is "virtually wrecked" and it is unclear if the ship ever served again.
