Synopsis:
After the wedding reception for Commander Riker and Commander Troi on Earth, the U.S.S. Enterprise heads for Betazed to complete a traditional Betazoid wedding. On the way, the Enterprise detects a positronic signature on the planet Kolarus Three near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain Picard leads an away team to the planet, where they find a disassembled prototype of Data, an android named B-4. After recovering the android, Captain Picard receives orders from Admiral Janeway at Starfleet to take the Enterprise to Romulus to meet with the new Romulan Praetor named Shinzon.
Shinzon is a clone of Picard, created by the Romulan military years ago to infiltrate Starfleet, but a new Romulan government abandoned the project and sent the clone to work in the dilithium mines on the dark side of Remus, a planet inhabited by a slave class bred to be workers and soldiers of the empire. Shinzon later led an uprising of the Reman slaves and secretly constructed a powerful cloaked battleship equipped with an illegal thalaron radiation weapon that can destroy organic matter. After the Romulan Senate rejects a Reman alliance, a thalaron weapon is used to kill the entire Senate, and Shinzon assumes control of the government with the support of the Romulan military.
To correct a genetic defect that is killing him, Shinzon needs an infusion of Picard's DNA, and he also plans to use his thalaron weapon to destroy Earth. He is using the B-4 android to lure the Enterprise to Romulus, and to gather information about the Federation Starfleet before his attack.
