Some people were complaining back when Scene 48 was posted about why the battle was taking place in a sector with no strategic value, at the time I responded that they weren't fighting over territory but rather it just happened to be where the Federation fleet was massing, and therefore was where the Romulans ambushed them. Now that we've all seen the climax, I think we all understand exactly why it happened in this particular location.
