Battle of the Bassen Rift



The Battle of 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 in 2378, which was commanded by Praetor Shinzon.

The battle itself, fought in 2378, was a fierce engagement between the Scimitar, a unique and heavily armed warbird of Reman design, and the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E, which was assisted by two Valdore-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.
