On arrival in the system the players discover that the Borg have established a temporal vortex in orbit over the planet, with the intent of sending an invasion force back to assimilate the Federation in the past.

The Borg send waves of vessels towards the vortex, along with heavy reinforcements. The players destroy the Borg Transwarp gates that are feeding ships into the vortex, thus stemming the incursion, but some Borg ships have already made it through.

History
This mission is one of the original Special Task Force missions which were introduced as a set of three missions, each involving both space and ground combat. These missions were split into separate space and ground missions with the release of Season Five: Call to Arms on 1st December 2011.

In the original form, after destroying the Transwarp gates, players would follow the Borg back in time, through the vortex to complete the ground portion, now known as, where they discover that Donatra, the former Romulan empress who has been missing for over 20 years is now Borg.

In true "boss" style, Donatra leaves the players to fight her minions while she makes her escape. After defeating the ground forces, the players returned to space to stop her ship, in a battle that is now the final portion of this mission.
