The crew of the Enterprise under Captain Picard encounters a new alien species, the Torvath. They are distinctly non-human, closer to a prawn species, though on a much larger scale, with a much more visceral appearance. They are a technologically evolved civilization, and it will be revealed they have a high sense of culture. But they are also highly xenophobic and strongly believe themselves to be superior.
At first they are amused by the humans who attempt to make contact and befriend them, like we might feel about a baby rodent, before that feeling turns to disgust and paranoia, as they learn of the Federation, what they consider to be a dangerous, rival hegemony of unlike abominations who must be wiped out if the cosmos is to remain pure for the Torvath.
Can Picard convince them that peaceful coexistence is possible, or does the Alpha Quadrant face another galaxy-spanning conflict?

The Borg Cube
For the first time, Commanders 28 and above will have the opportunity to add the Borg Cube to their fleet. The Borg Cube is unique in various ways that separate itself from any other ship in Star Trek Fleet Command.
- The Borg Cube is the first ship in Star Trek Fleet Command that grows in power alongside its Commander.
- Starting at Ops 28, the Borg Cube grows in power based upon the strength of your Faction ships, scaling all the way to Operations Level 70
- The Borg Cube has the first-ever active ship ability, Borg Cutting Beam, that does damage outside of normal combat
- A full unlock of the Borg Cube is available in the Elite Battle Pass, and several of those blueprints are located in the free path.
With a ship as unique as this, we wanted to provide as much information as possible so everyone could understand exactly how to utilize it to its full potential. To check out everything you need to know about this brand new ship, check out the Borg Cube feature spotlight here.
