Episode Notes

Change to Star Trek Canon
The Hansens' log entries reveal that they had made their intentions to track the Borg known to Starfleet. First contact with the Borg occurred, aboard the Hansens' ship the Raven, in 2356. They were assimilated in 2359. However, the first meeting with the Borg had originally been with the U.S.S. Enterprise in System J25 in 2365 ("Q Who?"). At the time, not even Jean-Luc Picard, Captain of the Ship of the Fleet, had been privy to any information on the Borg. The only viable explanation why canon would be altered here is that Starfleet suppressed all information of the Hansen's intent to research the Borg. Considering that Section 31 had recently been introduced into the Star Trek Universe in the season six episode "Inquisition" in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, this explanation does have merit.
