The system was lost to the Dominion in the disastrous Chin'toka Retreat. While the battle did not lead to a continued advance into Cardassian space, it did provide the Alliance with access to captured Dominion and Cardassian technology.

Exploiting a weakness in the platforms' IFF system, the Alliance tricked them into destroying their own power source. The First Battle of Chintoka was the first offensive launched by the allied forces of the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan. While the now-shielded platforms proved to be difficult to damage, they possessed a significant weakness, as their power was provided remotely from a nearby asteroid. The initial easy advance was revealed to be a trap when the weapons platforms unexpectedly activated, damaging and destroying many Alliance vessels who now found themselves surrounded. The outnumbered Dominion vessels resorted to kamikaze attacks, but despite severe losses among the Klingon fleet the Alliance advanced through the deactivated platforms.

While the momentum of this victory quickly dissipated, it provided a much-needed morale boost.
