The Battle of Frontier Day was fought between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective. The most recent conflict in the Borg-Federation war and the Galactic War with the Borg, the battle took place in Sol System on the Frontier Day of 2401. That year, much of the Starfleet had gathered to the Federation capital world Earth to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the launch of the Enterprise (NX-01), a symbolic beginning of the Federation Starfleet. The Borg used the vulnerabilities of the Fleet Formation System, caused or discovered by a group of Borg-affiliated Changeling infiltrators, to gain control of Starfleet ship. The Changelings introduced new genetic code to the Starfleet transporter architecture, causing a large portion of Starfleet crew to be assimilated by the Borg remotely and simultaneously. The Borg forced the assimilated crew to try to eliminate the unassimilated personnel.
Background
The Frontier Day is a Federation, or more specifically, Starfleet holiday celebrated on the date of the launch of the Enterprise (NX-01) in 2151. The 250th occasion of the event was celebrated by Starfleet with a fleet gathering and a technology demonstration around the Sol Station at Earth's orbit.[1]
The Borg and the Federation had fought several times since official first contact in 2365. The most notable battles were those of the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367 and the Battle of Sector 001 in 2373. In 2378, the crew of the USS Voyager managed to escape the Borg, causing massive damage to the Primary Collective in the Delta Quadrant.[2] Since then, contacts between the Delta Quadrant Collective and the Federation have been sparse. The Federation has occasionally fought or collaborated with secondary or independent collectives or liberated drones, including the assimilation of USS Nimitz[3] and the alliance formed aboard USS Stargazer in 2401.[2] The notable conflicts with what may be the Delta Quadrant Collective include the battle fought between Borg cubes and USS Apollo in 2391.[4]

Arrival of the Borg
The Borg Queen's Cube arrived to the Badlands region near the Bajoran system some days before the Frontier Day using transwarp. It was detected on stardate 240106.01 by USS Artemis-A while travelling from Deep Space 9 to Earth for the Frontier Day ceremonies. Believing the Cube to be a threat but dormant at the moment, the Artemis sent a team to the Cube to investigate and disable it. They were unable to alert Starfleet Command due to sabotage to their communication equipment.[5][6] The sabotage was later shown to have been caused by Changeling infiltrators disguised as Artemis crewmembers. The crew was able to locate the infiltrators and either capture or kill them.[7][8]
Simultaneously with the discovery of the Cube, another group of Changeling infiltrators entered the restricted research area on the Amity Outpost in the Delta Quadrant. The area still contained vulnerable Borg material from the time the Outpost had operated as Copernicus Center, where anti-Borg research had been conducted. The Changelings stole some of the material to be delivered to the Cube and activated a transwarp conduit to do so. The attempt to stop them by the Outpost's crew failed, and when the crew was trying to shut down the critical conduit device, they were accidentally transported with the infiltrators to the Borg Cube in the Badlands.[9][10][11]
