Battle of Bassen Rift

Added by 8of5The Battle in the Bassen Rift was an encounter between the Federation starship USS Enterprise-E, assisted by forces of the Romulan Star Empire, against the Reman warbird Scimitar, which was commanded by Praetor Shinzon.
Prelude to Battle
Edit
Shinzon, allied with the Remans, had recently led a coup against the Romulans, assassinating most of the Romulan Senate and assuming the role of Praetor himself. Shinzon was a clone of Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and had developed a vendetta against his originator.
Battle
Edit
The battle itself, fought in late 2379, was a fierce engagement between the Scimitar, a unique and heavily armed warbird of Reman design, and the Sovereign-class Enterprise-E, which was assisted by two Romulan Mogai-class warbirds. The battle ended with the defeat of the Scimitar only thanks to sabotage from within the Reman ship itself, and left the Enterprise and the warbirds severely damaged.
