In late 2370, the Odyssey, under the command of Captain Keogh, was assigned to a patrol mission along the Cardassian border.
The Odyssey arrived at Deep Space 9 shortly after it was announced by the Jem'Hadar that they had taken Commander Benjamin Sisko prisoner. With news of this, Starfleet suspended all wormhole traffic, and ordered the Odyssey to proceed into the Gamma Quadrant to investigate the Jem'Hadar's threat.
During the operation, the Odyssey was engaged by three Jem'Hadar attack ships. Her shields were ineffective against the Jem'Hadar's phased polaron beams, and she took significant damage from multiple direct hits. Realizing this, Captain Keogh ordered power from the defunct shields be diverted to the phasers in order to inflict the most damage on the enemy.
The Jem'Hadar took advantage of this opportunity and rammed the ship as she tried to retreat. The fighter collided with the Odyssey's secondary hull, the resulting damage leading to the destruction of the vessel. While the rescue attempt was ultimately successful, all hands on-board were lost. Fortunately, most non-essential crewmembers and all civilians had been offloaded at DS9 prior to departure, saving hundreds of lives. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar")
The destruction of the Odyssey, which became the cornerstone for the Federation-Dominion Cold War, showed the Federation that the Dominion was a potent and dangerous threat. In response to this provocation, the USS Defiant was brought out of mothballs and put on active duty.

Exploding warp core syndrome strikes again.

The USS Odyssey was a Galaxy-class Federation starship that attempted to defend a Federation colony in the Gamma Quadrant against attack by the Dominion. The Odyssey was quickly routed when her shields proved ineffective against the weapons of the Jem'Hadar attack ships, and she was destroyed completely when one of the attack ships rammed her while she was trying to escape.
