Starfleet Command

Wolf 359 was the name of a star located 7.8 light-years from Sol. Wolf 359
was the site of a terrible battle in which some 40 Federation starships
and two Klingon warships tried in vain to prevent a Borg invasion of Earth
in early 2367. Commanded by Admiral JP Hanson, the Starfleet armada
was decimated by the Borg ship, resulting in the loss of 39 ships and
11,000 lives. Ben Sisko's (DS9) wife, Jennifer, was killed in the
destruction of one of the ships, the USS Saratoga. Wolf 359, actually
is, a real star. Located 7.8 light-years away in the constellation
Leo, it is the fourth-closest star to earth.

The first known contact between the Borg and the Federation was in 2265,
when Q transportd the Enterprise-D out of Federation space into the
flight path of a Borg vessel heading toward the Alpha Quadrant. Following this
first contact, Starfleet began advance planning for a potential Borg
offensive against the Federation. Lietenant Commander Shelby was placed
in charge of this project to develop a defense strategy. The anticipated
Borg attack came in late 2366, when a Borg vessel entered Federation
space, heading for Earth. Starfleet tactical planners had expected at least
several more months before the Borg arrival, and thus were caught
unprepared. Enterprise-D captain Jean-Luc Picard was captured by the Borg
at the beginning of this offensive. He was assimilated into the Borg
collective consciousness and became known as Locutus of Borg, providing
crucial guidance to the Borg in their attack. Starfleet massed an armada
of some 40 starships in hopes of stopping the Borg ship at Wolf 359, but
the fleet was decimated with the loss of 39 ships and 11,000 lives. As
Locutus, Picard explained that the Borg purpose was to improve the quality
of life in the galaxy by providing other life-forms the benefit of being
part of the Borg collective. Following the rescue of Picard from the Borg
ship, a last ditch effort to implant a destructive computer command into
the Borg collective consciousness was successful in destroying the Borg
ship in Earth orbit.
