Stardate: ???
Released November 22, 1996
Captain Jean-Luc Picard leads the crew of the
newly commissioned U.S.S. Enterprise in a battle against time and the Borg, an insidious race of half-machine,
half-organic aliens, to restore the rightful future of Earth. Wile on routine patrol, Captain Picard
receives word from Starfleet Headquarters that the Borg have entered Federation Space and are on a direct
course for Earth. Violating direct orders to remain uninvolved, Picard leads the U.S.S. Enterprise in
Starfleet's massive assault against their deadliest foe. After the attack on Earth fails, the Borg institute
a plan to go back in time to Earth at its most vulnerable time inhistory, the dark age after the Third
World War. The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise follow the Borg back to a missile complex in Montana. The
date: April 4, 2063, the day before the legendary flight of Zefram Cochrane's warp drive rocket, the
Phoenix. This historic flight would ultimately lead to "first contact" - the meeting between humans and
beings from another world and subsequently, the birth of the United Federation of Planets itself. It
is this "first contact" that the Borg are trying to prevent.
