USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)

In a parallel universe, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was a Galaxy class Starfleet vessel used for exploration by the United Federation of Planets during the 24th century. Its use of the name Enterprise followed the original Constitution-class USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) of the 23rd century.

Locutus
When the United Federation of Planets was invaded by the Borg, Captain Picard was kidnapped from the Enterprise's bridge by the Borg and taken aboard their cube, resulting in Commander Riker taking command of the Enterprise. Aboard the Borg cube, Picard was subject to assimilation into the Borg Collective and so became a Borg himself. Renamed "Locutus of Borg", Picard's free will was surpressed as the Borg intended for Locutus to function as an emissary to facilitate the assimilation of all planets in the Federation.

As Locutus, the Borg forced Picard to confront his own crew and orchestrate a massive attack on the assembled defensive forces of Starfleet at Wolf 359. Using Picard's knowledge of Starfleet's tactics and weaknesses against them, the Borg easily defeated the Starfleet task force, resulting in the staggering loss of 11,000 lives in a battle which the Eleventh Doctor would recognise as a fixed point in time.

Following the battle, the Borg cube proceeded directly to Earth. Meanwhile, Riker devised a plan to turn the tables against the Borg, entailing the retrieval of the Captain from the Borg cube by Lieutenants Data and Worf. Back aboard the Enterprise, Picard was freed from the Borg Collective with the Data's assistance. Picard in turn assisted in incapacitating the Borg cube, leading to its self-destruction. For Picard, the memory of what the Borg forced him to do at Wolf 359 would continue to torment him for the rest of his life. (COMIC: Assimilation²)
