Mission Text

I need a capable ship and crew to check on reports of Borg activity in the Burgus system.

The <ship name> is more than up to the task, and I know you have previous experience with the Collective. There's no better officer for this task.

Stay alert. There have been reports of other ships in that region, including Tal Shiar vessels. The Burgus system is well out of Romulan space. I'd like to know what their purpose is out there.

Goal

Investigate reports of Borg activity in the Burgus system, which is located in the Beta Quadrant.

Notes

• New episode released as part of Season Nine: A New Accord on April 22, 2014 and integrated into the revamped episode Borg Advance, combining the previous episodes Borg Collective and Undine Advance.
• Where Angels Fear to Tread is a remaster of the previously named Undine Advance mission “The Return”, including a complete revamp of the Weapons of Misdirection section, now using Romulan Ship interiors introduced with the Legacy of Romulus expansion. The last two sections now also acknowledge the existence of the Romulan Republic, while all references to the Iconians and the Iconian Dreadnought Obex have been removed.
