Events[]

• The Caeliar, with Captain Erika Hernandez among them, are rediscovered by the crew of the USS Titan in the Beta Quadrant.^[2]
• In the Delta Quadrant, the Full Circle fleet encounters the collective called the Indign, who are trying to become worthy of Borg assimilation; with the help of Seven of Nine. Upon this encounter, an old lifeform, lying dormant on an Indign planet, is awoken, and occupies the holographic life-form known as Meegan McDonnell; with the ability to appear as it wants, the life-form flees USS Voyager and becomes a major threat to this part of the galaxy, or so it is assumed.^[3]

Conflicts[]

• The Borg have knowledge of the multi-vector agent (an enhanced version of the Endgame virus).^[4]
• The Borg Collective starts attacking the United Federation of Planets. After Starfleet defends Khitomer against the Borg, Klingon Chancellor Martok succeeds in assembling the Klingons to fight alongside the Federation.^[2]
• While exploring the subspace tunnels, looking for the possible entrance of the Borg to Federation space, USS Enterprise-E and USS Aventine make a short visit to the Delta Quadrant, where they are attacked by Hirogen hunters. They barely escape.^[5]
• February: USS Voyager is badly damaged by a Borg attack and Captain Chakotay is severely wounded.^[5][6]
• The Borg Collective invades the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Imperial Romulan State, and most other inhabited worlds within the Federation's sphere of influence, attempting to exterminate the Federation; the assault leads to 63 billion deaths and the loss of over forty percent of Starfleet.^[7]
• The Caeliar, with assistance from Erika Hernandez, are able to destroy the Borg Collective – resulting in a trillion of former Borg drones now released and lost. They are all absorbed by the Caeliar and their gestalt. The Borg no longer exist.^[7]
• Riots break out in the city of New Samarkand on Alpha Centauri, precipitated in part by the mass influx of refugees from the Borg Invasion.^[8]
• Some adversaries of the Federation, including the Breen, the Gorn, the Tholians, the Romulan Star Empire, the Tzenkethi Coalition and the Kinshaya form the Typhon Pact as an antagonist to the Federation, making use of the temporary weakness of the Federation after the devastating Borg invasion attempt.^[9]
• A number of Federation member states, including Alpha Centauri and Zalda, reaffirm their commitment to the Federation in a public vote.^[8]

Federation politics[]

• President Cordaro of Deneva is killed in the Borg Invasion, and is succeeded by Vice President Garson Tiernan.^[8]
• Federation President Nanietta Bacco creates alliances with the Klingons, the Imperial Romulan State, the Ferengi, and the Talarians against the Borg invasion; the Gorn are also persuaded, and the Ferengi later hire Breen mercenaries to support the newly built alliance (which also keeps the Tholians from secretly allying with the Breen and undermining the Federation's borders). The Cardassians are persuaded by Bacco in promising to transfer three star systems.^[5]

Starfleet operations[]

• The crew of the USS Aventine travels to the wreckage of the Columbia (NX-02) to find out about its mysterious flight to the Gamma Quadrant, hoping to gain an advantage over the Borg.^[2]
• The USS Titan is brought back to the Alpha Quadrant by Erika Hernandez, using her Caeliar-like powers.^[7]
• A number of ships, led by the USS Enterprise-E, aide in evacuating the overpopulated iy'Dewra'ni refugee camp on Pacifica.^[8]
