An alternate-reality version of the USS Enterprise-D even encountered its predecessor just prior to its destruction. Across seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Picard, and his crew had to deal with the aftermath of the war with Cardassia, re-establish relations with the Romulans, and confront the truth of the Khitomer Massacre. The Rutledge arrived too late to mount a rescue, but O'Brien did lead an attack against a Cardassian encampment, and saved the lives of 13 fellow officers earning him a reputation as " the hero of Setlik III."Ī year later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard assumed command of the USS Enterprise-D, which would deal with the fallout from many of these big events in Star Trek history. Almost a hundred civilians were killed by the Cardassians, including the family of Captain Benjamin Maxwell (Bob Gunton) of the USS Rutledge. The conflict had been raging since 2347, but the sneak attack on the Federation outpost was a horrific war crime based on bad intelligence. The Setlik III massacre was a formative moment in the backstory of Star Trek's Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) and one of the most notorious events in the Federation-Cardassian War.
