USS Copernicus visiting Wolf359 Memorial Station - Non Canon Wolf359 ships

I’ll never forget my first command. USS Normandy NCC-7421, she fought at Wolf 359. I had been in command for just over a year after taking the fast track at the academy. We had done quite a bit by that point. Then we got that message to assemble at Wolf 359. We were sent in on the 3rd wave and tried to save the Saratoga. They battered our shields down in no time flat and we failed. On our way out the Borg blasted us hard, we were damaged but still flying when we whirled about and went in torpedo launcher and phasers blazing. It was pointless. They didn’t even waste time with the tractor beam, they just used the cutting beam to shear off our port nacelle, and gut the starboard one. On board the ship all hell broke lose, bulkheads failed and plasma conduits exploded and the bridge turned into a sea of exploding consoles. We were dead in space, on fire in multiple places and powerless when the next Borg volley just about destroyed us. They hit the torpedo launcher and detonated 10 torpedos in the actual launcher. The crew up there died instantly. The explosion on the bridge burned me badly and killed most of the crew. I was pinned by a beam that came down and was suffering from multiple injuries when the energy conduit under my captains chair went off. My XO was about to leave the bridge when he saw I was still breathing. The transporters were inoperable as was most of the ship and the bridge was venting into space when he had to phaser my legs off above the knees to pull me from the wreckage. My face was full of console chunks and my arms were virtually useless from burns. He literally dragged me to an evacuation shuttle. I spent years recovering, then on the eve of the dominion war I found salvation in the reverse engineered Borg components I helped design. I had my arms and legs back after 5 years, I still have those facial scars but I was able to return to duty with a catch. Due to the Borg nanites and those from the Nanite civilization I received for treatment my cells no longer age. I’ll be close to 75 next year and yet chronologically I don’t age past 42, haven’t for a long time. One day I must return to Wolf 359 and honor my comrades lost in a hopeless battle. That will be harder then winning the dominion war. No matter how much they try I still can’t forget that day

[@stodemorecordings]

Wow, that is really amazing 🫡🖖

[@Michael-fb1rl]

I loved the flute playing at the end, the same melody Jean Luc Picard learned while held by that darilect probe. I've always loved that melody.

[@jasonkelley8697]

This was very nicely done and I liked how you kept the ships in there original damaged/destroyed state after the battle which gives massive emphasis to just how terribly outgunned and out classed the whole fleet at wolf 359 was against just a single Borg cube regardless of whether they had Locutus or not.

[@Captain_Razor_88]

I’m wondering why they didn’t include the Galaxy class (I think it was the USS Challenger) that was clearly present and destroyed in at least STOs interpretation of the participating ships.

[@davequinlan3020]

However the Saratoga is at the Fleet Museum. It is the original Saratoga that was disabled by the whale probe, and it was redesigned with the registry of the Saratoga that was destroyed at Wolf 359. Also, my head canon states that Geordi's Great Grandmother on his mother's side was the original Saratoga Captain.

[@mtjoy747]

[@thedopplereffect00]

Interesting that the ships didn't all explode like what happens on most episodes. I guess the Borg target them in a way to maximize number of crew assimilated.

Far larger for one, and fewer wrecks as we lost a lot of ships in that damn war. I was a Wolf 359 combat wounded survivor and a dominion war veteran. I once had a Starfleet security officer question my commitment to Starfleet. 4 Purple Hearts for lost limbs at wolf 359 and a chest full of decorations for bravery and valor earned during the dominion war ended the discussion. He simply saluted me and walked out.

Were the Borg using mud as their primary weapons?

[@Sandmansa]

I couldn't help but notice at the end where the list of "canon" ships that fought at Wolf359. There are 2 ships with the same name, same registry but different class. The USS Melbourne. Is that a typo? Or were there 2 different ships?

[@stodemorecordings]

That is correct. There were two Melbourne vessels. One Excelsior, one Nebula, but both had the same registry. memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Melbourne_(Nebula_class) you can read it hiere under "Apocrypha" 🥰🖖

[@James_Ford4815]

i actually like that most ships are not too damaged. not a fan of the whole one borg ship took out like 20+ starships but the enterprise not only defeated it but also while alone survived other multiple encounters. picard/locutus targeting specific damage points just to immobilize the majority of the ships seems more realistic.

[@stodemorecordings]

That's true. Picard's knowledge in Locutus has helped the Borg hit the ships in the most sensitive places

[@joseluiscervantesmartinez8989]

Well made video… USS Saratoga is missing

[@stodemorecordings]

There is no wreck of USS Saratoga 🫡🖖

[@jasonkelley8697]

If you rewatch the emissary (DS9 very first episode) the Saratoga was completely destroyed, along with several other vessels. if I remember correctly there was only a handful of vessels from the original 40 starships that were left behind as wrecks, the majority of the star fleet ships were completely and utterly destroyed. I think the official cannon said there were even several Klingon wrecks at wolf 359 though they were not officially shown or mentioned, Locutus was an absolute beast during this battle.
