Background
Edit
Berengaria VII was to be the location of Earth Starfleet's Starbase 1 and construction had begun on the facility when Romulan forces invaded the system and wiped out the base as well as a Vulcan research outpost in the First Battle of Berengaria. As Earth continued to suffer losses, Starfleet gathered a fleet of 14 ships together and placed it under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, whose orders were to retake Berengaria.

The BattleEdit
Earth forces entered the Berengaria system at impulse to avoid the warp detection grid, and immediately engaged Romulan warships. At the same time, the Starfleet vessels launched drop ships filled with MACOs toward the planet. As the dropships landed, MACO troops began engaging Romulan ground forces and were eventually able to push them back. This forced the last Romulans to evacuate onto the remaining Romulan warships and retreat from the system, leaving it to the Earth forces. (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
AftermathEdit
Romulan forces are defeated handing Earth its first decisive victory; however, seven Daedalus-class were destroyed, hundreds of MACO troops were killed, and no Romulan technology was recovered for study.(Many MACO Dropships were destroyed prior to landing). (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
