The Briar Patch War was a brief, but violent, war between United Earth forces under Captain Jonathan Archer and Fire Nation forces under Crown Princess Azula in 2155. The war was started when a Romulan Bird-of-Prey shot down the Columbia (NX-02) over a newly discovered world in the Briar Patch. The Enterprise (NX-01) arrived to investigate and was pulled into the century long war among the humans on the planet, when Starfleet personnel recovering Columbia's wreckage were attacked by Azula's forces.
