This large-scale fleet action was supposed to be the killer blow to Federation forces in the BETA Quadrant.  After successfully diverting Battle Group 1 to Jar'mas, Fleet Lord Mor'dak moved the rest of his forces to annihilate the Federation forces at their rendezvous point, 'Point Omega,' just outside the Voira Tundra in Gorn space.

The battle was hard-fought, and the Federation force of 50+ starships more than held their own, but shear numbers here in open space, without any naturally defensible points, were working against Rear Admiral Vargas's forces.  However, just as the tide of battle was turning firmly against Star Fleet, a Tholian armada showed up, over 100 ships strong.  At that point, Mor'dak withdrew his forces relatively intact, suffering moderate losses.  The battle was a tactical victory for Star Fleet but a strategic defeat, as Mor'dak's forces were able to flee the scene still able to wage battle.
