Furthermore, they could not close the tunnels without doing severe damage to the rest of the galaxy. However, it was discovered that the apertures from the tunnels would make that impossible. Initially, Picard and Dax planned to set up a minefield - similar to the one used to mine the Bajoran wormhole during the Dominion War - while they came up with a way to collapse the tunnels.
Picard and Dax deduced that the Borg in the Delta Quadrant were using a similar tunnel to launch their attacks on the Federation. One of these tunnels had been responsible for sending the Columbia into the Gamma Quadrant 200 years earlier. Fortunately, the Aventine appeared via a subspace tunnel and assisted the Enterprise in destroying the third cube.Īfter the battle, Captain Dax revealed to Picard the existence of the subspace tunnels inside the Azure Nebula. In the battle that followed, the Enterprise destroyed two of the cubes, but was damaged herself. There, they found three Borg cubes waiting for them. The Enterprise set course for the Nebula. The Azure NebulaĪfter analyzing the wreckage of the Borg cube destroyed over Korvat, Geordi La Forge theorized that the Borg were originating from the Azure Nebula. Meanwhile, the Aventine was recalled from the Gamma Quadrant.īorg Cubes about to assimilate a world. On Qo'noS, Chancellor Martok called upon the Klingon High Council to aide the Federation against the Borg, citing the sacrifice of the Ranger at Khitomer. At the same time, she enlisted the aid of the former Borg Drone Seven of Nine to assist Starfleet in planning a defense. A short time later, the Borg attacked and destroyed Starbase 24.īack on Earth, Federation President Nanietta Bacco made plans to call for all the powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants to unite against the Borg. Amongst the casualties was Admiral Owen Paris, who was stationed at Starbase 234 at the time of the attack. Starbases 234 and 157 were both destroyed, however. The USS Excalibur successfully repelled the Borg at Starbase 343. At Khitomer, the USS Ranger sacrificed itself to protect the Klingon colony. The Enterprise managed to stop the Borg attack on Korvat, saving 29,000 people (out of an original population of 10 million). Shortly after the destruction of Ramitis III, the Borg launched simultaneous attacks on Korvat, Khitomer, and Starbases 234, 157, and 343. Captain Picard later argued that every ship in the fleet should be armed with the transphasic torpedoes, but Admiral Alynna Nechayev overruled him, saying that overusing the torpedoes would allow the Borg to adapt faster. The Enterprise destroyed the cube with transphasic torpedoes, but was unable to save the planet's population. A Borg cube attacked the world of Ramatis III. Weeks passed and Starfleet's losses against the Borg continued to mount. With no other leads to follow, Captain Dax and the Aventine were dispatched to the Gamma Quadrant to resume the investigation into the Columbia's mysterious appearance there. Ezri Dax, recently-made captain of the USS Aventine, proposed to Starfleet that there may be some connection between the Borg attacks in the Alpha Quadrant and the discovery of the 22nd century Starfleet vessel Columbia in the Gamma Quadrant seven years earlier. Over the next five weeks, there were three more Borg attacks, and Starfleet had yet to discover how the Borg were so easily slipping past their defenses. Your biological and technological distinctiveness have become irrelevant. The Borg then sent an ominous message to the Federation: "We are the Borg.
In January of 2381, one month after Captain Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-E destroyed the Borg-assimilated Einstein, the Collective launched surprise attacks on the worlds of Barolia and Acamar III, completely eradicating their populations. In this case, all attacks were by Borg drones that had been out of contact with the larger collective mind and attacked independently. Note: The Borg incursions shown in TNG novels: Resistance, Before Dishonor, Greater Than the Sum were not said to be precursors of the invasion, despite both incidents occurring before Borg invasion.As a result, the entire Borg Collective came to regard the Federation as a threat that could no longer be tolerated.
Towards the end of the year 2377, the USS Voyager under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway, with the aid of Admiral Kathryn Janeway from the future, destroyed the Borg Collective's Transwarp Hub and also infected Unimatrix One with a virus that killed the Borg Queen and severely damaged the Unicomplex.
