The Battle of Calder II occurred in the year 2155, only days before the Earth-Romulan War was declared, as part of the Romulan Star Empire's war effort to conquer the Coalition of Planets.
History[]
The battle[]
As a preparation for a full-scale invasion, the Romulan Star Navy captured several Vulcan military vessels and used those ships to launch simultaneous attacks on Alpha Centauri and Calder II.
The small scientific outpost in the Calder system had no defenses to speak of, thus it was an easy target. The Romulan forces quickly obliterated the Human settlement, leaving no survivors. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru)
Aftermath[]
After the planet was taken, the Romulans set up a fortified forward operating base. They used it as a foothold in Coalition space with the eventual goal to launch strikes at the Coalition homeworlds. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
