The Invasion of Starbase 1, 2257
The late stages of the Klingon-Federation War saw the Federation brought to the edge of total defeat when Klingon forces operating under House D’Ghor attacked Starbase 1—the very first orbital station of its kind established by Starfleet, and home to the bulk of its leadership. Some 80,000 people were killed in the invasion, including the vast majority of Starfleet’s Admiralty, setting the stage for a potential Klingon invasion of Earth itself.
