Bassen Rift

The Bassen Rift is an area of space between Romulus and the Romulan Neutral Zone. A dense nebula field with many greenish-hued cloud formations, passage through the Rift disrupts subspace communications.

In 2379, the Bassen Rift was the location of a major conflict between the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), against the Reman warbird Scimitar, which was commanded by Shinzon.
