[@samronin1141]

While true the Wolf 359 project accounts for this. With the idea that they had already been preparing in the build up after Q Who. So the Kaneda in this case was a testbed/prototype which although failing at Wolf 359 gave more data to feed back into the Akira project as a whole and better the design until you had the likes of the Thunderchild survive Sector 001.

Full battle of Wolf 359? YES, PLEASE!!!! There could not be an Akira-Class in service, as this class entered service AFTER the Battle of Wolf 359. Also the Bellerophon could not be of the Intrepid Class as this class also entered service after the Battle of Wolf 359.

Could have been another Bellerophon, but yeah, using the shot of the Intrepid Bellerophon is a definite goof.

40 ships doesn't sound like a lot but the episode took place over a period of only a few days. So those 40 ships were within about a 5 or 6 light years of Wolf 359. Which isn't that bad given how large the Federation is.

[@Alamandorious]

And, there was the fact that Starfleet didn't have 1000s of ships until DS9 era, when they upped the ship counts to make battles more spectacular. 40 ships accounted for a large chunk of Starfleet, which is why in immediately following episodes they commented on how thinly stretched Starfleet was.

[@DanielMWJ]

​@@AlamandoriousNah, they had 1000s of ships, but they were 90% obsolete small models. Mirandas everywhere. Just look at the 5-digit NCC codes compared to 4-digit ones from the 2200s.

[@Alamandorious]

@@DanielMWJ Those registry codes weren't indicative of fleet numbers, at least not at first :P There's a reason 39 ships was considered a heavy loss...if they had 1000s of ships, it would have been sad, there would not have been a concern about the fleet being stretched thin.

[@DanielMWJ]

@Alamandorious But, well, most of their ships would be basically useless. You could throw a thousand Mirandas at a cube and it would just mulch them. Basically, almost all their ships are able to do scientific surveys, or run supplies, or police some smugglers. But they aren't rated for combat with even sub-peer neighbors. Don't forget that even *runabouts* are considered starships with NCC codes.

[@Alamandorious]

@@DanielMWJ I think you need to remember Q's quote from Q Who...about what adversaries the Federation had been measuring itself against. The only reason they went to 1000s of ships was to have battles as spectacular as Bablyon 5, their main Sci Fi rival of the time.

[@deaks25]

The USS Endeavour is my favourite non-hero ship in Trek. The team who worked on First Contact have said the Nebula class seen briefly onscreen is Endeavour and was due to be named directly, so my head canon is it is the same ship and so survived Wolf 359, survived the Battle of Sector 001 and apparently survived the entire Dominion War. She’s basically a complete badass ship. Like many have said, JTVFX’s battle sequence is outstanding, top tier work. It does not disappoint, and for me is the definitive Battle of Wolf 359.

[@adambrown6669]

That same glory falls to the Hood also, that ship survived the end of kirks era, wolf 359, first contact(technically wasn't there but it was around still) the dominion war and is continuing to exist in Lower decks meaning it could very well have been active somewhere during Picard season 3

[@deaks25]

The Endeavour was always labelled in the first Encylopedia as the sole survivor, and Janeway reading Capt Amisov’s log in “Scorpion” was in my mind keeping that entry as canon. This battle has always left more questions than answers and I love it :)

[@BoredPodcaster]

A side note about the Righteous: According to Star Trek: Borg, it actually survived the attack, thanks to Q, who transported it into the future at the time of its destruction in the battle. It's a very good story, honestly. One of my favorite star trek stories. It was originally a game, but Simon and Schuster reformatted it into an audiobook, giving the main character a voice as well.

[@slouchmonster7243]

Yeah, the Akira was a response to 359, like the Defiant class. Leaner and meaner.

[@SampoPaalanen]

Nothing in alpha canon tells us when the Akira class was developed, the timeline make far more sense if the Akira and the Defiant were those "anti-Borg" things Hanson mentioned in the episodes as not being ready yet. We know that by the time of Battle of Sector 001 there was at very least 2 Akiras in Service (USS Akira and USS Thunderchild) Battle of Wolf 359 is in early 2367, Battle of Sector 001 is in 2373, six years seems kind of short time to go from concept to full production of several units, considering how common the Akira is during the Dominion war that seems a really short time.

[@vic5015]

​@@SampoPaalanenI thought that the lore said the Akiras were recalled from patrol duties along the borders to help in the war.

[@jaklinhyde]

In my opinion I believe there has been a real resurgence in Star Trek and there’s a true opportunity( if done properly) to close lots of gaps. A short trek of the battle of Wolf 359 would be an excellent idea, but also what I think lots of fans would enjoy would be going back to the NX-01 era and seeing the formation of the COP, romulan war and official formation of the UFP. Would love to see the NX refit on screen, them pulling and refitting the Daedalus class would be awesome, also the enterprise c time period. Man so many opportunities missed but yet still many more opportunities there for the taking 🖖🏽

[@mckayfan]

I would have liked them to have made star trek legacy, though I'm not a fan of them renaming the titian-a to the enterprise-g, its a insult to the people who died on the Titian.

[@adambrown6669]

​@@mckayfanhow exactly is it an insult? Especially considering that a majority of their crew was transferred to the Intrepid, leaving a skeleton crew behind of which only a handful died during the borg assimilation. All in all having that ship become the enterprise embodies what the enterprise is supposed to be, a symbol of hope lighting the way through the final frontier, plus it honoured the crew of the D and E, whom risked their lives to save all of the federation, and considering the F was so very "tragically" destroyed in orbit of earth, a new enterprise was needed.

In the Star Trek novels that William Shatner wrote with the Reeves-Stevens, the Battle of the Wolf 359 also occurred in the mirror universe. However, this battle was between the Terran Empire and the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. The Terrans were routed, and the Alliance bombarded Earth, vaporizing the Great Lakes and the other landlocked bodies of water.

[@Brasswatchman]

Suggesting they threw a bunch of cadets up against the Borg. Oof. Not the first time Starfleet's done something like that, mind you...

[@vulcorian2996]

Star Trek Online took major inspiration for their recreation of the Battle of Wolf-359 from the Wolf359Project's fan work "We Have Engaged the Borg" for the inclusion of several vessels (Akira, Parliament, etc) that might at first seem era anachronistic. They give reasonable arguments for the inclusion of such vessels (Akira is a prototype, Parliament has no canon launch date), but as it is only a fan work (and STO is not canon either, but it is officially licenced), people are free to ignore it as they wish, but neither are technically mistakes by the STO developers as some commenters are saying. As pointed out not all ships were ever named in canon, which gives beta canon material such as STO and fan work such as the Wolf359Project plenty of room to build upon the established canon. Also worth noting, there are even differences between the Wolf359Project and STO. Several vessel classes the used in the former are not used by the latter for various reasons. For example, USS Sha Ka Ree is a Shangri-La class (from which we get the Constituton-III Titan-A) in Wolf359Project but as STO does not have the rights to use that class , they went with their own Vesper Class instead.

[@RustyShackleford101]

I've said this elsewhere, but seeing the wreckage of a Constitution class ship after the battle was pretty harrowing, and really spoke of how desperate The Federation were to get literally anything, even ships that had been mothballed years prior, in the path of the Borg Cube.

[@M1kec2000]

I did too, especially since she was newly commissioned. It makes sense too since we see how small the bridge is when Hansen contacts Enterprise, the dimensions look pretty similar to the Endeavor's bridge seen later on.

[@kimraudenbush615]

Correct. As per the ST:TNG Companion (a book of EVERY ST:TNG episode from the pilot "Encounter at Farpoint" to the final episode of Season 7) Riker was offered command of the Nebula-class USS Melbourne. The editor\writer notes for BOBW P1 & P2 states that the Melbourne destroyed at Wolf 359 is the same ship. Official losses were listed as 39 ships.

[@DiscoRaptor]

Seeing a few D'Deridex Warbirds decloak and attack would've been amazing... along with a couple of wings of Klingon warships! Hanson even says the Klingons are sending warships... Obviously not really possible with the VFX of the time. I wish I had the 3D skills to do that battle in all it's glory! lol

[@Brian-pz3wh]

You can see the failure of their tactics quite easily, instead of concentrating all fire on one spot and breaking down the shield, then introducing fire into the cube itself (which is what Picard later) they were hitting cube all over and thereby diluting their firepower. Good video on it though!

[@Archangelglenn]

You are half correct. It was a break down in tactics that led to this disaster, but their firepower being everywhere wasn't their ultimate downfall. Their downfall was fully in Starfleet's tactics of hitting them in picket line waves. The swarm tactic actually works better as evidence by the way they were attacking everywhere at once during the battle of Sector 001. By them using wave tactics it allowed the borg cube to cut the Federation ships apart piecemeal. Where as by swarming the ship and attacking everywhere at once, it forced the Borg ro have divert power from other systems to compensate. As the Enterprise E notes, the cube had sustained heavy damage. Also what Picard did was use insider knowledge on how a Borg Cube works to blow it up.

[@1ceanator99]

The fact they had a Constitution class shows they were pulling out all available ships that were combat ready. The Oberth was a bit redundant. Hope whoever ordered them to the battle was court-martialed.

[@hisdudeness8328]

Ironically, Worf 359, the single biggest defeat the Federation had suffered in over a century, was what ultimately saved the Federation. The Borg curb stomping the Federation was the swift kick in the ass the Federation needed to realize that they didn’t have the necessary fleet to deal with threats beyond the standard enemies they were used to facing. The rapid modernization and upgrading of their fleet prepared the Federation for the arrival of the Dominion, who no doubt would have easily rolled over them if they didn’t have the new fleet to face them.

[@donaldfarquar]

I like the fact the Federation of 100's of planets could only send 30 odd ships to defend its capital. Star Trek was really terrible at scale until DS9. Even then they didn't think that after slowing the ships down for TNG that the maps which are now cannon make no sense in the context of the shows/films.

I was at wolf 359 I was an ensign right out the academy. I was at conn on the uss Nick Carter a Miranda class. When I tell you this was a battle of absolute ineptitude for the federation. My god we were in over our heads. Instead of everyone firing a barrage of torpedos at once and focusing phaser fire on one spot we decided to fly in 3-4 ships at a time only firing one spread of torps at a time

[@maeleus]

The thing I always liked about this battle was the location. Wolf 359 is only about 8 light years from Earth. At high warp that's maybe about a day or so away. So that really speaks to the urgency that the Borg are literally at our front door. So it makes sense we would have thrown almost everything we had at it, even training ships and non-combat ships.

I see the editior accidentally used the Intrepid class Bellerophon for the montage rather than the Nebula class Bellerophon lol.

A Short Trek, of Wolf 359 could be intriguing. But, I think I'd prefer one of the aftermath, a secret Romulan cloak and dagger one, where they steal and investigate Federation technology where Romulan Star Empire is weaker.

[@177SCmaro]

When you look at the type of starships present at Wolf 359 you realize very quickly how woefully underprepared Starfleet was at the time for a major military threat. How complacent and comfortable they'd gotten with the Kingons being allies, the Romulans in hiding, and there being no real local power that could challenge the Federation. Then fast forward to the battle of Sector 001 and the caliber of ships there only like a decade later and the fact that by the time the Enterprise showed up Starfleet had actually succeeded in doing major damage to the Borg cube, it just took a final concentration of fire in the right place to finish it off. It starts to become clear that Q did humanity a huge favor in the long run by formally introducing them to the Borg.

As far as i'm aware the Akira, Intrepid and parliament classes were all built post wolf 359. It is also doubtful that an akira class protototype was there and the defiant wasn't, because the 1st ship of the anti borg line of ships to reach prototype stage was the defiant. Then due to issues it was shelved until the dominion was encountered. The 1st of the anti borg classes enter service was either the sabre or steamrunner. I think it was sabre but cant remember for sure.

The Chekhov wasn’t named for the character from the Original series, different spelling.

[@WCD_Media]

I feel like that prior to Wolf 359 and prior to the Dominion War, that Star Fleet didn't really have a handle on efficiency when it came to Star Ship Construction. There were so many different Classes of ships, most of them outdated, and probably refitted more than once over the years. I doubt it was due to lack of funding, because of the number of different classes involved. Star Fleet obviously had resources to throw around on experimenting with different types of Ship Classes to serve different functions, but the fact that so many outdated ships were pressed into combat tells me that Star Fleet didn't really know how to consolidate their Fleet into a cohesive Military Force. They were obviously scrambling just to gather together enough bodies, so to speak, to throw at the Borg. Where as by the time of the Dominion War, they had learned their lessons.

I am still really good with not having a comprehensive list of ships or a complete canon battle.

The Melbourne was mentioned to be two different classes, that both of them were at the battle, and destroyed. Also, I remembered seeing something about the Melbourne was made into an Excelsior class ship to show the destruction of that one better....which it sure did on DS9. I know Riker was offered several times to command the Melbourne.....now the question remains is that was it the Excelsior or Nebula class Melbourne? There was the wreakage of Wolf 359, and very briefly seen, when Shelby told Riker what ships were all destroyed, she said, at the end....looking at Riker.....the Melbourne. Riker looked down to the floor; don't know if Riker was heart-broken for those that were on the Melbourne....or that of the entire massacre of every ship there....or that Captain Picard was turned into a killing machine.

[@GillianMStarlight]

In "The Drumhead", I thought Norah Satie mentioned Starfleet and Klingon ships destroyed, IIRC. So maybe there were one or two Klingon ships which were part of the exchange program as seen in "A Matter of Honor". Klingons further away would be willing to fight but wouldn't make it in time.

I’m a casual Star Trek fan and really don’t know the classes of ships, but I thought in first contact picards enterprise destroyed a cube pretty much in its own. Also why did they never design any more dreadnougt classes? Sorry if these are stupid questions I’m just very interested to know

[@CrazyNights1015]

I think there is always going to be a bit of crossover when it comes to which survived. You have the one ship that managed to get away then the others who were abandoned then salvage and returned to duty. So technically they did survive.

[@lloydonlead]

Imagine if you were fighting multiple Borg cubes. That would be terrifying unless you were species 8472 or the Scimitar.

[@AurelioBGarcia]

I was under the impression that the Akira class was a reaction to failures of WOLF 359, they militarized the fleet and changed uniform to match. The Defiant class wasn’t the only warship to come out of Utopia Planitia because of that battle. So unless they where breaking the temporal prime directive then pissed on it what is an Akira doing at Wolf 359?

[@Paleorunner2]

I love Star Trek Online, but there cannot be an Akira class at Wolfe 359. I think STO got their info from the fan project, but anyway you cut, unless time travel is involved it cannot be there.

[@terranempire2]

A number of these ships have some excellent Highlights…

[@augurseer]

Short trek of 359? 100%

[@crystallineentity]

Surprised there was an Akira at W359....thought Akira, Saber, Defiant were built post-BOBW

[@alexhill4703]

They is a star trek game from 1996 called Star Trek: Borg a PC game which focuses on a ship the USS Righteous not called Righteousness an Excelsior-class ship that was at the Battle of Wolf 359 hit by an unknown Borg weapons discharge and vaporised. 10 years later USS Righteous shows up again. can these be cannon

[@MrTilbin]

I wonder if the Admiral separated from damage or evacuation as the battle moved along?

[@bennettosasconx-1555]

Saudações , 💖 Love vídeo ⚓🔧🇧🇷🖖

[@mastermonarch]

TheAdmiral said the Klingons were sending ships

[@bartlester591]

I know they had to make it into an episode where they wouldn’t use. Unconventional means to deal with the borg . But I’ve always had the perfect scenario of how to deal with one board cube. You can pilot a starship remotely and that Starfleet has access to one of the most volatile and dangerous explosives known to man and it is a byproduct of the cell warp engine process, namely tri lithium you pack for five maybe six Miranda class or more starships full of this violent explosive you pilot them in a ring of death in a 360° view and ram them into the cube and detonate on impact this would discourage the Borg into leaving star fleet alone you don’t know how many obsolete starships they are going to pull out of mothballs plug in a giant remote control and ram into your vessel. I think it’s a perfect solution to the problem. You don’t have to worry about wasting personnel and solve the problem.

[@kittyhawk9707]

Like the way Starfleet can assemble a reasonable amount of spacecraft to fight the Borg in a pretty short period of time .. but a not fully functional Enterprise A docked at Earth "is the only vessel within interception range " of VGER ..

[@johnnydecooman3340]

I seem to have noticed a ship similar to the defiant during the battle.

[@scotthayes4135]

In the first episode in DS9 actually showed the battle as it happened.

[@positronicfeed]

Everybody forgets the unaltered Cross field class.

[@alecbrinker7268]

Starfleet lost 35 starships at Wolf 359 That would have been a single engagement from the Dominion War

[@endorbr]

There are multiple inconsistencies in this. How were ships at the battle that weren’t even designed until after it happened?

[@chrisstetsko5020]

USS Endeavour and Captain Amasov were the sole survivors of Wolf 359! "It is my opinion that the Borg are as close to pure evil as any race we've ever encountered."---Asamov's personal log (VOY: 'Scorpion'). TNG had the Endeavour taking part in Picard's blocade during the Klingon Civil War and being active in the Dominion War. Trek Central recognizes the Endeavour being at Wolf 359, and JTVFX has Asamov taking command of the fleet after Admiral Hansen's flagship (USS Auriga) was destroyed by the Borg Cube. Its just a bloody shame the name Endeavour hasn't become a legacy ship. (Skaka, when the walls fell!)😅

[@talyn3932]

How could an Akira be there? weren't they designed after Wolf 359 and as a response to it?

[@WitWP359]

Wolf 359 proved Q was Right the Federation had become arrogant by this point and thought The Borg while strong would still be able to be beaten using conventional tactics. Hanson was a fool to ignore the basic threat that an assimilated Picard posed. Luckily though the massacre gave the Federation the kick in the teeth to actually start building ships that could actually fight as well as explore.

[@Londontransitduck]

I wish my whole set of ideas and my star ship the uss hirosshi japan class vessel could be in star treck cannon also if you want ill give more contex on my star ship uss hiroshi

[@bush1701]

I swear I saw a constitution class in the debris field

[@derekmcmanus8615]

You did in the original episode

[@mathiaskokartis2308]

Did anyone watched DS9? Almost every major battle with the dimonion was by far more destructive for the federation than Wold359 ...
