The USS Enterprise-C, commanded by Rachel Garrett, responded to a Klingon distress call near the colony world of Narendra III. The outpost was under attack by Romulan forces, though the Romulans were believed to be inactive in the region at the time. Rather than withdraw, the Enterprise-C chose to defend the Klingon colony, despite being outnumbered and outgunned. The ship was ultimately destroyed in the fighting, and no survivors were recovered. To the Klingon Empire, the sacrifice appeared as an unprovoked act of honor and loyalty by the Federation. The battle became the foundation for decades of peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. The loss of the Enterprise-C was remembered as proof that humans understood honor, and Narendra III stood as a quiet turning point where trust was earned through sacrifice rather than words.
