The Battle of the Alamo was a battle fought on Earth in 1836, between the forces of Mexican and the people of the territory that would later become Texas.
The battle involved 188 Texans, held in the old Alamo mission surrounded by two thousand Mexican troops, lead by General Santa Anna. The Texans were lead by Jim Bowie and Colonel's William B. Travis and Davy Crockett. Although the Texans inflicted proportionately heavy Mexican casualties, Santa Anna ultimately prevailed killing all 188 Texans.
In 1960, the movie known as The Alamo was filmed depicting the Battle of the Alamo. By the 2374, a holoprogram recreating the battle was designed by Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir of Deep Space 9. O'Brien later built a scale model of the mission, which was later used to study their battle plan. One of Bashir's suggestions included building a moat around the mission.

O'Brien and Bashir invited Vic Fontaine to join them, but he refused until after the jack-in-the-box had been defeated, at which point he agreed to join them, "coonskin cap and all". (DS9: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
- The remains of the Cestus III outpost was a fort for a film about the Alamo in the 1930s.
