Bane hires a Klingon bird of prey to destroy the USS Enterprise

Bane, the ruthless and powerful galactic warlord, was determined to obtain complete domination over the star systems of the Milky Way. As his reign of terror stretched far and wide, the word of his influence spread throughout the universe. Even the mightiest of space fleets quaked in fear of his name. 
But there was one vessel in the universe that Bane deemed too powerful to allow to exist in his new order. The USS Enterprise, a heavily fortified Federation starship captained by the legendary Savar, was a threat to his plans of domination, and Bane knew that if he was to succeed, the Enterprise had to be eliminated. 
To that end, Bane had contacted an old colleague of his, a Klingon bird of prey captain who zealously defended the Klingon homeworlds. With a hefty sum of money, Bane was able to convince the sworn enemy of the Federation that it was in the Klingons' best interest to destroy the Enterprise. 
The mission was as daring and treacherous as it was audacious. The bird of prey, equipped with advanced cloaking technology and deadly photon torpedoes, waited to ambush the Enterprise in the neutral zone between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. 
When the Enterprise finally appeared, the Klingon vessel emerged from its hiding place and opened fire. The heavily armored hull of the Enterprise shook as the photon torpedoes struck with pinpoint accuracy. But despite sustaining several direct hits, the Enterprise refused to give up and valiantly fought back.
A fierce battle ensued, with each side refusing to surrender. In the end, the battle ended in an unprecedented draw. Weary and damaged, the Klingon bird of prey limped away into the darkness while the Enterprise limped back in search of repairs.
Bane was furious. The destruction of the Enterprise would have been the crowning jewel in his campaign of domination, and this first defeat had sent a strong message to the forces of the Milky Way: that Bane was not someone to be trifled with. 
But Bane would not give up. He had made a solemn vow to bring the Federation and all of its enemies to their knees, and that was exactly what he was going to do.
