Human-Borg War

The Human-Borg War was a conflict between the Federation and the Borg Collective, that took place during the larger conflict between the Borg and the Cybermen that was still raging elsewhere in the Galaxy. In desperation due to the sudden turn in the tide of the war, the Borg decided to engage the Federation head on by attacking their fortresses on the border between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Trek Galaxy, namely the planet Earth.

Thousands of Borg cubes descended on Federation space but the most vicious attack was against the planet Earth itself - one Borg Cube broke through the Human defence lines and attacked the planet directly, with the majority of the Federation fleet in hot pursuit. Thousands of Borg missiles surrounded the fleet and devastated the fleet before the USS Enterprise could arrive to assess the situation.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, having been assimilated by the Borg beforehand, knew many of their weaknesses and his help in the battle eventually turned the tide, with the Federation triumphing over the Borg. The Borg Queen herself was killed during a last-ditch attack on the Enterprise itself, which was easily beaten back by the crew. In the meantime, the Borg Queen's death meant that the Borg currently engaging the Federation in space were left disorientated and leaderless, and were soon defeated.

The outcome of this war not only meant that Humanity was saved from assimilation but it also led to the Borg's almost complete annihilation by the Cybermen.
