Name: U.S.S. Enterprise (alternate)
Registry: NCC-1701-E
Class: Sovereign-class
Captain: Jean-Luc Picard
Affiliation: Starfleet
Year: 2382
In an alternate universe where the Borg came in a request for aid against the Voldranaii, invaders from another universe, Enterprise led the combined Federation/Borg fleet sent to stop them in the Mutara Sector. Seven, who had been undercover with the Borg while maintaining her individuality, was their liaison with the Queen. Worf headed a strike team to the Voldranaii ship and there it was discovered they were under Borg control anyway. Seven was activated by the Queen, who knew all along her true allegiance, and disabled the fleet with the aid of the prefix codes. The Borg Queen had engineered this ruse and explained as much to Picard, wanting him back as Locutus. Dozens of ships were lost in the ensuing battle, survivors were beamed to Enterprise, including Will Riker and Deanna Troi from Titan. Picard was seriously injured and by the time he came to the Borg had already overrun Cardassia and Betazed and they were on the run, the rest of the fleet scattered. They were found anyway, and Picard decided to try and lose them in the Typhon Expanse. There, a Data from 500 years in the future, rebuilt and sent by Locutus, told them of a way of destroying the Borg forever, but would require them to hand Picard over to the Queen to infect her. Picard did not see any other alternative and sought out the Queen’s Vinculum. They warped in, Picard, Seven (now severed again from the collective) and Data, who would register as a drone. Riker kept the Borg focused on the Enterprise in the meantime. When the Queen was defeated and the virus spread, Seven of Nine attempted to save as many liberate drones as she could. Kira Archer, a bridge officer, mutinied and wanted to put an end to the Borg, and fired torpedoes at the Borg Vinculum. She was taken into custody, and Picard and Seven were beamed back to the ship. Future Data had disappeared. The Enterprise made it out of the destruction intact but severely damaged, Seven however was did not survive the ordeal.
Appeared in Star Trek: Hive, IDW Comics

The Stars at Night was a great finale, but can I just take a moment to gush about the sheer awesomeness of how Captain Freeman responds to 3 bleeding age ai ships, which she just watched go through a Sovereign class ship like a knife through butter, are now laser focused on her ship? "Good, then they aren't targeting any more civilians"
Like damn, that's a strong Starfleet line. And noone on the ship even bats an eye. Its the right thing to do and they're the only one who can do it.
Like, really puts Boimlers mid season rant about how they don't want to fight, but it's the right thing to do in order to protect everyone else so they have to in a new light.
