help Star Trek: First Contact FAQ
Why do the Borg travel to 2063 in Star Trek: First Contact?
The Borg go back to April 5, 2063, because that is the day Zefram Cochrane's warp flight leads to Earth's first contact with the Vulcans. If they stop the Phoenix from launching, the Federation's future can be erased before it begins.
Why is Picard so personally affected by the Borg Queen?
Picard was assimilated as Locutus in the Star Trek: The Next Generation two-part episode The Best of Both Worlds. First Contact uses that trauma directly, especially when Picard refuses to abandon the Enterprise-E even after Worf and Lily Sloane challenge him.
Which Enterprise is in Star Trek: First Contact?
The film introduces the USS Enterprise-E, a Sovereign-class starship commanded by Jean-Luc Picard. It replaces the Enterprise-D, which was destroyed in Star Trek Generations.
Does Star Trek: First Contact need knowledge of the TV series?
It works as a movie, but it is much richer if you know The Next Generation's Borg episodes and Picard's assimilation history. The central 21st-century plot with Zefram Cochrane and Lily Sloane is self-contained.
