Star Trek : Borg Star Trek : Borg is an interactive video " Star Trek " game which places the player in the role of a cadet who encounters Q , and is transported to the Battle of Wolf 359 . Summary . " The Picard Dossier " is a condensed version of the " Star Trek Omnipedia " only containing the subset of information relevant to the game . The player takes on the role of Cadet Qaylan Furlong whose father , Lt . Ralph Furlong , was killed during the Battle of Wolf 359 . With the help of Q , the player goes back in time to his father ' s ship , the USS " Righteous " , to prevent his death and the destruction of the ship . Gameplay . Gameplay is a unique combination of a - style point - and - click adventure and a real - time free - flowing game . The game progresses like a movie , but at certain junctures , the player must make choices ( done by clicking on objects or people ) which affect the storyline . Additionally , failure to " make a choice " is interpreted as a choice of inaction , which affects the story accordingly . At any time ( when the player is not at a choice - making juncture ) , the game may be paused , allowing the player to examine his surroundings with a tricorder . Certain tasks require information that can only be gathered in this manner . During some instances , it is possible to punch Q in the face , and at one point , kick him in the groin .
