However, by this point in the battle, the fleet had succeeded in dealing heavy damage to the cube's outer hull, causing fluctuations in their power grid. The Defiant , commanded by Lieutenant Commander Worf , had been heavily damaged and was preparing to ram the cube when the Enterprise -E arrived, distracting the Borg long enough to transport the Defiant crew off their stricken ship as its life support failed.
Picard, taking advantage of his residual link to the Collective, took command of the fleet and ordered all weapons to be targeted on a seemingly non-critical point on the cube. The resulting barrage destroyed the cube, though the explosion also claimed several nearby starships. Shortly before its destruction, the Borg cube launched a small spherical vessel from its interior — a type of Borg vessel not seen before by the Federation.
The sphere headed straight for Earth, with the Enterprise in hot pursuit. The sphere began generating chronometric particles , forming a temporal vortex. The sphere disappeared inside the vortex near the boundary of Earth's atmosphere, traveling back in time to and disrupting First Contact.
As the Enterprise was caught in the temporal wake of the vortex, its crew saw an assimilated Earth with a drone population of nine billion. The Enterprise followed the sphere into the past, and was able to restore the normal version of history before safely returning to the 24th century. Starfleet's losses in the battle were comparable to the earlier fleet action at Wolf The destruction of so many ships left the remaining fleet stretched thin across the quadrant, as was later rued by Captain Benjamin Sisko shortly before Dominion forces passed through the Bajoran wormhole into Cardassia , and would prove of even greater significance following the later outbreak of hostilities.
In addition to the losses inflicted by the Dominion, the casualties due to the Borg also caused a policy change within the Federation Council , and the admission of new members was accelerated.
First and foremost, however, the Council tended to act more questionably ethically, even compromising the principles upon which the Federation was founded during the Ba'ku incident.

Earth , Sector Was it for communication purposes with the Federation who from memory designated Earth as Sector , although I do seem to recall the Borg on several occasions especially Voyager and First Contact referring to Earth as Sector whilst not communicating with any Federation persons. On both occasions that the Borg refer to Earth as being at "Sector Zero Zero One" , it's when they're communicating with a Federation vessel.
It makes sense that they'd use the Federation's own navigation system to avoid any possible confusion as to where they intend to go:. There are no terms. You will disarm all your weapons and escort us to Sector zero zero one where we will begin assimilating your culture and technology. You will disarm your weapons and escort us to sector zero zero one.
If you attempt to intervene, we will destroy you. Load all torpedo bays. Ready phasers. Move us to position alpha, Ensign. DS9: Emissary. Seven also refers to it thusly in her personal log, but only after she's been on board for quite a while:. If we do return to Sector zero zero one, will I adapt to human civilisation? A single Borg among billions of individuals?
I think it's two reasons, which are related. First, I think the Universal translators on both ends of the communication, in addition to converting between languages, also convert between coordinate systems and units of measurement. This conversion has existed in our computers since the 70s, so it's not a big leap. Imagine the following scene: Kobali Vessel: "We're 5 megaviotes from the meeting point. Based on this ludicrous exchange, I think all UT capable species in the Star Trek galaxy have auto-conversion of measurement and coordinates in their translators, just to avoid this matter.
Why would the Borg be any different? Other reason: we often hear people speaking English in scenes where it makes no sense, such as on Klingon vessels "I'm looking at you DS9". My theory is that we're not hearing the language that's used in-universe. We're hearing what is effectively dubbed dialog. It's easier than having the entire cast do the scene in Klingon, then subtitling it. Since the writers convert the language for the viewer's convenience, why would they not convert between units of location and measurement, for the previously stated reasons?
In summary, the conversion happens because in-universe it makes sense, and it makes sense to the viewer. The Borg must be connected either to V'ger or the aliens who helped the Voyager probe to become V'ger Since V'ger has traveled a long way it had lots of star maps So either V'ger was involved in the ascedance of the borg into what we see today or it could have been assimilated Officially I havent heard anything about it from any credible source so I guess your imagination's the limit.
