The USS Seine was a Danube-class runabout assigned to the USS Aventine.
In 2381, while the Aventine was investigating the wreck of the NX Columbia, the Caeliar Arithon killed Crewman Ylacam while he was logged in for maintenance. Arithon remained hidden aboard the Seine and used its microtorpedoes to blow out the shuttlebay and open a subspace tunnel by emitting a soliton wave. The Seine and Aventine passed through the tunnel to supernova remnant FGC-SR37-758 near the center of the Azure Nebula where Arithon hoped to find Erigol. However, the planet had been destroyed some time prior, and Arithon perished aboard the runabout. The Aventine received a distress call from the USS Enterprise-E and tractored in the runabout before departing. (ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night)
The escape attempt was later investigated by Geordi La Forge to determine how to open and utilize the subspace tunnels; logs indicated that the runabout had emitted a triquantum wave from its deflector dish, something the Enterprise was not setup to do at the time. However, working with engineers from the Aventine, both ships were able to be equipped with similar capabilities. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)
