Battle Names?

[Kirk-to-Enterprise]

So one thing I like about Star Wars is that every movie has a battle in it, and the battle is named for the fandom.

IV - The Battle of Yavin
V- The Battle of Hoth
VI - The Battle of Endor
I - The Battle of Naboo
II - The Battle of Geonosis
III - The Battle of Coruscant

I was thinking about this in regards to Trek. If we were to name each battle by planet there would be like a zillion “Battle of Earth”s.

I’m currently re-watching DS9, so I can’t wait to reacquaint myself with all those battles in seasons 6 and 7. But right now I’m thinking of the two Borg Invasions in The Best of Both Worlds and First Contact. I realize they simply might be called “The First Borg Invasion” and “The Second Borg Invasion.”

Are there any other notable battles with potential names?

Maxia is the one that comes to mind the most.

They might actually call it the Borg Invasion of 2366/2373 in universe to encompass the entire breadth of it, from Jouret IV to Earth and Ivor Prime to Earth. But yeah the main battles are Battle of Wolf 359 and Battle of Sector 001. Because I grew up with the first as a kid there was always something about that battle that still resonates with me, even if you only saw it in flashbacks or in "Emissary." You were lucky if you saw more than one ship onscreen at once and here was forty ships getting wiped out offscreen!
In real life think about how many real battles happen in the same place and they just add a year to differentiate or it's kind of specifically descriptive to relate to the conflict.

Those were preludes to the (novel) invasion of 2381 of Destiny.

IRL I remember terms like “the Korean Conflict” and “Vietnam Police Action.”
