In May of 2159 , Captain Jonathan Archer and the " Enterprise " NX - 01 save a Vulcan scientist named T ' Uerell from the Romulans . After this , there is a series of missions that Archer is assigned to , and comes to learn that T ' Uerell is behind many disasters in the Alpha Quadrant including infecting planets with toxins , destroying a Starfleet facility with crew members on board , and attempting to use toxins to annihilate Earth . This plan is thwarted by Captain Archer and his task force . T ' Uerell goes into hiding and is not heard from until the late 23rd century . 111 years later , in 2270 , Captain James T . Kirk and the , along with a Starfleet task force head deep into Klingon space to capture an experimental vessel , a Klingon Bird - of - Prey . After Kirk is able to capture the ship with a tractor beam , he infiltrates Klingon space and finds T ' Uerell scheming with the Klingons to once again destroy the Federation with a Klingon beam weapon . The weapon is destroyed , but T ' Uerell flees again , much to Kirk ' s ire . Two years later , in 2272 , Admiral Kirk and the crew of the " Enterprise " thwart T ' Uerell ' s plan to conquer the Federation , and learn that she is working with strange cybernetic creatures that are assimilating Klingon vessels . Many ships are destroyed in the resulting conflict . During the attack , thousands of omega particle s destroy subspace in a three light year distance . Kirk asks Starfleet to develop the Omega Directive . Kirk is disappointed that he did not defeat T ' Uerell and concludes his quest . In 2333 , Captain Ruhalter of the is monitoring a fight between the Romulans and T ' Uerell ' s ship . As she is vastly outgunned and outnumbered , T ' Uerell activates a Borg device , which destroys an unpopulated planet and causes large pieces of stellar debris to break off from the planetoid and head for the Phidian star system filled with hundreds of millions of people . The resulting shock wave from the planetoid ' s core hits the " Stargazer " and Ruhalter is killed . His first officer , Lieutenant Commander Jean - Luc Picard takes command and heads to a starbase . After the ship is somewhat repaired , the " Stargazer " takes a task force inside the system and destroys many pieces of stellar debris . Later , the task force saves three heavily - populated planet s , Phidian I , II and III , with the help of modified sensor pod s now armed with phaser s , which the task force dragged into orbit by tractor beam s . Later , a huge piece of stellar debris breaks off the planetoid and heads for a Class M planet , Phidian III . Picard realizes that he will not be able to break it up with his ship ' s phasers and photon torpedo es , but will be able to destroy it by using the ship ' s tractor beam to drag other debris into the huge stellar debris ( although it is possible to destroy it with the ship ' s weapons ) . After obliterating the immense piece of stellar debris , the system is saved from annihilation . Picard is then promoted to captain and takes command of the " Stargazer " . 35 years later , in 2368 , Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Sisko is taking the newly completed into a nebula - filled system for its first trial run . Sisko notes that there are warp dampeners all over , which makes use of the ships ' warp drive impossible . Shortly after this discovery , the ship unfortunately runs into three Romulan warbird s and has to take evasive maneuvers , since she cannot escape at warp . Sisko and his crew are soon captured and are placed at a Romulan starbase while their ship is impounded . Fortunately , the , commanded by Captain Picard , comes to the rescue by beaming an away team in and setting the " Defiant " s crew free . After destroying enough warp dampeners , the " Defiant " , the " Enterprise " - D and the task force leave at warp . Sisko records a log entry stating he had seen a Vulcan ship under attack as he and the " Enterprise " - D fled the system . Sisko files a complaint with Starfleet Command . He is told that this is not the first case of a Vulcan ship doing strange things like that . Sisko then says that he plans to discover more about it but admits that it probably " won ' t be to ( his ) liking . " Twelve years later , in 2380 ( shortly after the events of ) , Picard , along with the and new personnel head into a final confrontation with T ' Uerell . T ' Uerell ' s once pristine Vulcan ship is now overrun with Borg technology . Picard is aided by the help of Admiral Kathryn Janeway and her old starship the . They meet with T ' Uerell and learn her true intentions . She plans to conquer the Alpha Quadrant with the Borg . She believes that everything she has done , including the deaths of many Starfleet personnel have been for the greater good . Picard and Janeway try to convince her otherwise , but she refuses to listen . Janeway leaves the system and tells Picard that " ( she ) will be back with some friends " and orders Picard to defend Federation colonies from assimilation . Picard succeeds and orders that the ship be taken to Deep Space 9 . T ' Uerell and the Borg cubes make their way to Bajor and the Deep Space 9 space station . Picard and his task force help to defend the Klingon and Romulan forces , showing how far things have gone in the past 200 years . With the loyalty Picard has garnered , the Romulan and Klingon starships place themselves under his flag . The forces engage T ' Uerell and her Borg allies and they are defeated . With that , T ' Uerell escapes with the " Enterprise " - E in hot pursuit . After this , T ' Uerell flees to a star system with many Borg vessels , with Janeway noting that she will not be able to leave , because of the Trickster String . After destroying a Borg tactical cube , the Federation / Klingon / Romulan forces , along with the " Enterprise " - E and its task force engage T ' Uerell . After destroying the string that is protecting her , all ships open fire . T ' Uerell ' s ship cannot stand the pounding and is finally destroyed , thus bringing to an end 221 years of unending conflict . Picard could hear T ' Uerell calling out to him in her final minutes . Whether it was the Vulcan or the Borg in her remains to be seen . Background information .
