Summary
The Battle of the Briar Patch took place between the USS Enterprise-E and two Son'a battle cruisers. The two Son'a cruisers were ordered by Ru'afo, under the consent of Admiral Matthew Dougherty, to intercept the Enterprise. The Enterprise was trying to reach a clear transmission range so they could report the collector's existence.
However, Commander William T. Riker, who was in temporary command of the Enterprise, managed to collect enough metreon gas via the ram scoop to deploy it at the Son'a ships, which destroyed one cruiser and damaged the other. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
Prelude
Due to the Son'a plan to deploy their collector at the Bak'u homeworld, the Enterprise-E tried to get within transmission range to send a message to Starfleet about Ru'afo's plan to deploy a collector. However, Ru'afo ordered his two battle cruisers to stop the Enterprise. The Enterprise was fired upon damaging it; Daniels reported that shields were down to 60%.
Meanwhile in engineering, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge reported that the warp core was burning deuterium and that the warp core had to be ejected. Then the Son'a fired a torpedo into the metrion gas, creating a subspace tear. The warp core was ejected and detonated sending the Enterprise off course. Riker then transferred helm controls to manual and collected the gas ejecting it using the ram scoop. Sending it at the Son'a, it then caused the detonation of the first Son'a cruiser and severely damaged the second. This move was later known as the Riker Maneuver.
