First officially documented Federation encounter
came in 2365
when the USS enterprise-d was world seven thousand light
years across the Galaxy by The Entity known as
Q
into the path of the cube.
It was this encounter that established the board as
a real and imminent
threat
Starfleet immediately started planning a defense.
The matter was made more Urgent by evidence that
the board had already.
Deleted Federation space and destroyed outposts along the Romulan
neutral zone
strategic simulation exercises were conducted
and a new class of heavily-armed Starship began development.
But the preparations would prove too little too late
his back to Subspace message to Admiral Hanson.
We have engaged
the Borg.
The federation's worst fears.
Came.
True.
Just over a year later
when a borg Cube invaded.
In space on a direct course toward sector 001
that inclusion led to the historic Battle of wolf
359
of the bloodiest conflicts in Starfleet history
and Armada of 40 Starships
was annihilated by a single Borg Cube
nearly 11,000 Personnel worlds.
The catastrophe
was a result largely of the assimilation
of Captain
Jean-Luc Picard.
I am
locutus
of Borg
your life as it has been.
Is over
from this time forward
you will service
us
fortunately the cards crew managed to recapture him and
find a way to use his link to the
Borg Collective
to trigger a self-destruct command.
But the plans of the Borg are not so
easily vanquished.
Six years after wolf 359
the Borg regrouped and launched a second defensive to
assimilate
Earth.
But this time
with a more subversive strategy,
this is Captain Picard of the Enterprise.
I'm taking command of the fleet
Target all of your weapons on to the following
coordinates.
Thanks to Jean-Luc Picard's experience with the Borg.
The attacking Cube was quickly extinguished by the Starfleet
Armada.
However,
it managed to release a probe that sent itself
into a temporal vortex.
Exchanged at the year 2063
its Mission

His first warp flight
prevent first contact with the Vulcans and the eventual
formation of the Federation
leave Humanity vulnerable to assimilation
by disempowering it in the past.
Luckily the enterprise-e follow the sphere and stemper awake
and foiled the board's plan while helping them to
come
recover from the attack
and launch the Phoenix at the
the right moment to preserve history
Finally
centuries later
the odd statements made by dr.
Cochran in 2064
were explained.
