Picard: Star Trek's Federation Made A Massive Mistake With The Borg Cube
Warning: SPOILERS forStar Trek: Picard Season 2, Episode 1 — «The Star Gazer»
The ease with which the Borg Queen (Annie Wersching) took over the USS Stargazer in Star Trek: Picard season 2's premiere shows the United Federation of Planets made a massive mistake with its acquired Borg technology from the Artifact. Star Trek: Picard season 2 picks up a year and a half after the ending of season 1 when Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) stopped ancient synthetics from another galaxy from attacking the Federation. Meanwhile, the Borg Cube Artifact was left derelict on the planet Coppelius, the homeworld of Soji (Isa Briones), and her family of androids.
The Artifact, a Borg Cube that was disabled in the 2380s after assimilating a Romulan vessel, was central toStar Trek: Picard season 1. By 2399, the Artifact, as it had been renamed, was under Romulan control and the site of the Borg Reclamation Project, which was headed up by its director, Hugh (Jonathan Del Arco). Unaware that she was synthetic at the time, Soji worked at the Borg Reclamation Project, where she was targeted by Narek (Harry Treadaway), a Tal Shiar agent seeking the location of Soji's homeworld. Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) eventually took control of the Artifact and transported it via transwarp conduit to Coppelius to help Picard. The planet's orchid defense system caused the Artifact to crash on Coppelius. When Star Trek: Picard season 1 ended, the Artifact — and the reclaimed Borg XBs who survived — remained on Coppelius.
