It was probably trapped in a green nebula somewhere getting its ass handed to it by a super-battleship, all because the dumb-ass crew didn't think to fly around it.

Well, they wrote books on the subject. Except they violate the self enforced Author's Continuity (Taurik is replaced with a founder).

He was one of the crewman introduced in the episode "lower decks". In the book's canon, he became assistant chief engineer between insurrection and nemesis. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Taurik |

Well, the novels are now considered a part of the "Shatnerverse". Basically, you'd do well to disregard everything they say.

What I don't understand is why the Federation fleet on the other side didn't send a ship in for a look when the Enterprise went in and didn't come back out... (surely if the Enterprise could detect the fleet before entering the rift then the fleet could detect the Enterprise). |

The battle of the Bazen Rift is odd for to many reasons, I'll accept the perfect cloak that can no fire through cloak and allows shields to stay up while cloaked, whatever. I'll go with the idea that the Enterprise only has a single transporter array across the entire ship. I'll even go ahead and pretend that she can run out of torpedoes after only using 50 or so. But the lack of the Federation fleet makes no sense at all. And their willingness to fly into that nebula is also totally ridiculous, a crew as well trained as that would never have fallen into such a blatant trap. Not much of that battle makes any sense. |

Excuse my ignorance  , but wasn't the Federation fleet very far away and waiting for the Enterprise? If that were the case, the fleet would not come to the Enterprise... I think there was a line in effect about flying into that nebula (that they knew it was a trap): wasn't the Enterprise forced to enter it after it was attacked? Plus, I think a nebula is actually safer than normal space (This is pure speculation, perhaps it is easier to detect cloaks or "hide"). Perhaps running out of torpedoes was due to some offscreen use of them, or the ship having used them in other encounters (or perhaps they were removed due to some other force). Yes, I know, all of this recquires a good deal of "suspension of disbelief" policy  Oh well  |

Interesting, Dom, but yes you are right, I smell cognitive dissonance here buddy  I always loved Star Trek for its realistic feel relative to other sci-fi shows. I guess that's why physicists pick apart all the little (and not so little) scientific errors, it's a form of affection really. |
