{bortaSvaD vInajtaHvIS} means "while I was dreaming it for the benefit 
of revenge." Obviously not what you were going for.

Add a {-pu'} or a {-ta'} to {vIchenmoH}. You did it and finished it.

A Reman would be a {rIymuSngan}.

That sentence is difficult for me to parse and seems overcomplicated.

rIymuSDaq rIymuSngan loDnI'pu'wI' vItu'pu'; pIqarD muQaw'moHpu'.
I found my Reman brothers on Remus; they caused me to destroy Picard.

rIymuSDaq pIqarD muQaw'moHpu'bogh rIymuSngan loDnI'pu'wI''e' vItu'pu'.
On Remus I found my Reman brothers who caused me to destroy Picard.

Still complicated, but less so. Could be further simplified.

I can't say that that's actually WRONG, but it was too complicated.
