00:27.000 --> 00:30.200
First officially documented Federation encounter

00:30.200 --> 00:32.700
came in 2365

00:32.700 --> 00:36.400
when the USS enterprise-d was world seven thousand light

00:36.400 --> 00:39.200
years across the Galaxy by The Entity known as

00:39.200 --> 00:40.200
Q

00:40.200 --> 00:43.100
into the path of the cube.

00:43.100 --> 00:45.900
It was this encounter that established the board as

00:45.900 --> 00:47.700
a real and imminent

00:47.700 --> 00:49.500
threat

00:49.500 --> 00:52.300
Starfleet immediately started planning a defense.

00:52.300 --> 00:54.400
The matter was made more Urgent by evidence that

00:54.400 --> 00:55.800
the board had already.

00:55.800 --> 00:59.700
Deleted Federation space and destroyed outposts along the Romulan

00:59.700 --> 01:01.200
neutral zone

01:01.200 --> 01:04.100
strategic simulation exercises were conducted

01:04.100 --> 01:08.700
and a new class of heavily-armed Starship began development.

01:08.700 --> 01:13.100
But the preparations would prove too little too late

01:13.100 --> 01:17.000
his back to Subspace message to Admiral Hanson.

01:17.000 --> 01:18.300
We have engaged

01:18.300 --> 01:19.800
the Borg.

01:19.800 --> 01:21.400
The federation's worst fears.

01:21.400 --> 01:21.700
Came.

01:21.700 --> 01:22.000
True.

01:22.000 --> 01:23.500
Just over a year later

01:23.500 --> 01:25.700
when a borg Cube invaded.

01:25.700 --> 01:31.400
In space on a direct course toward sector 001

01:31.400 --> 01:34.000
that inclusion led to the historic Battle of wolf

01:34.000 --> 01:35.400
359

01:35.400 --> 01:39.000
of the bloodiest conflicts in Starfleet history

01:39.000 --> 01:40.900
and Armada of 40 Starships

01:40.900 --> 01:44.100
was annihilated by a single Borg Cube

01:44.100 --> 02:02.900
nearly 11,000 Personnel worlds.

02:02.900 --> 02:04.100
The catastrophe

02:04.100 --> 02:06.600
was a result largely of the assimilation

02:06.600 --> 02:07.300
of Captain

02:07.300 --> 02:09.900
Jean-Luc Picard.

02:09.900 --> 02:10.700
I am

02:10.700 --> 02:12.200
locutus

02:12.200 --> 02:14.500
of Borg

02:14.500 --> 02:17.500
your life as it has been.

02:17.500 --> 02:19.900
Is over

02:19.900 --> 02:22.600
from this time forward

02:22.600 --> 02:25.000
you will service

02:25.000 --> 02:27.200
us

02:27.200 --> 02:30.500
fortunately the cards crew managed to recapture him and

02:30.500 --> 02:32.200
find a way to use his link to the

02:32.200 --> 02:33.200
Borg Collective

02:33.200 --> 02:50.400
to trigger a self-destruct command.

02:50.400 --> 02:52.600
But the plans of the Borg are not so

02:52.600 --> 02:56.600
easily vanquished.

02:56.600 --> 02:59.500
Six years after wolf 359

02:59.500 --> 03:02.500
the Borg regrouped and launched a second defensive to

03:02.500 --> 03:03.200
assimilate

03:03.200 --> 03:03.800
Earth.

03:03.800 --> 03:04.900
But this time

03:04.900 --> 03:07.500
with a more subversive strategy,

03:07.500 --> 03:09.100
this is Captain Picard of the Enterprise.

03:09.100 --> 03:11.000
I'm taking command of the fleet

03:11.000 --> 03:13.100
Target all of your weapons on to the following

03:13.100 --> 03:14.100
coordinates.

03:14.100 --> 03:17.600
Thanks to Jean-Luc Picard's experience with the Borg.

03:17.600 --> 03:20.800
The attacking Cube was quickly extinguished by the Starfleet

03:20.800 --> 03:21.800
Armada.

03:21.800 --> 03:22.400
However,

03:22.400 --> 03:25.100
it managed to release a probe that sent itself

03:25.100 --> 03:26.300
into a temporal vortex.

03:26.300 --> 03:29.100
Exchanged at the year 2063

03:29.100 --> 03:30.200
its Mission

03:30.200 --> 03:33.100
destroy the Phoenix before zefram Cochrane achieves.

03:33.100 --> 03:35.000
His first warp flight

03:35.000 --> 03:37.900
prevent first contact with the Vulcans and the eventual

03:37.900 --> 03:39.900
formation of the Federation

03:39.900 --> 03:42.600
leave Humanity vulnerable to assimilation

03:42.600 --> 03:46.600
by disempowering it in the past.

03:46.600 --> 03:50.300
Luckily the enterprise-e follow the sphere and stemper awake

03:50.300 --> 03:52.800
and foiled the board's plan while helping them to

03:52.800 --> 03:53.300
come

03:53.300 --> 03:54.800
recover from the attack

03:54.800 --> 03:56.300
and launch the Phoenix at the

03:56.300 --> 04:28.600
the right moment to preserve history

04:28.600 --> 04:29.500
Finally

04:29.500 --> 04:30.900
centuries later

04:30.900 --> 04:32.600
the odd statements made by dr.

04:32.600 --> 04:34.800
Cochran in 2064

04:34.800 --> 04:36.000
were explained.
