Mountain Pass (New Romulus)

The Mountain Pass was a geographic feature of the planet New Romulus, a mountain pass landscape located in the Vastam Peaks near the New Romulus city. 

Location
The Mountain Pass consisted of interconnected, high-walled ravines leading eastward from the Vastam Peaks valley nearest the city. A Republican camp was located at the mouth between the small valleys closest to the Mountain Pass entrance. Dewan arthropods roamed nearby. 

Inside the Mountain Pass, animal species and vegetation were absent. The ground and its surroundings were rocky. Within the ravines, it was darker than in the small valleys, were more of Dewa's light could reach the ground.

The Tal Shiar had established the Mountain Base, consisting of camps placed in the various valleys. 

History
Following the colonisation of New Romulus by the Romulan Republic in 2409, the Tal Shiar and their Hirogen allies secretly involved themselves with the colony.

In the Mountain Pass, Commander Ruul was in charge of a secret Tal Shiar base, which included a landing pad for Ruul's runabout. Ruul partnered with Hirogen in the area to commence hunting the Republicans and their Allies. The Tal Shiar and their Hirogen partners were stopped by an away team sent by a Romulan surveyor.
