Talk:Battle of Sol

Alpha Centauri

On January 4th, 2397, the Borg attacked Alpha Centauri with a force of eight vessels. The close proximity of Alpha Centauri to the Sol System prompted Starfleet Command to send what remained of the Fourth Fleet to defend the sytem. Though the defence was ultimately successful, almost all the Starfleet vessels were destroyed.

By March, 2398, the Sol System had become the only remaining stronghold in the Federation.

If I was dumb enough to write that without explanation, I assume it's taken from the original history. What happened at AC? We successfully defended it but the were driven back with a second assault, or simply abandoned it to better protect Earth? It needs explanation. I think either could work, though I'm partial to the latter. Starfleet didn't just morph into evilness in 2400; it was a progression throughout the war, which culminated in abandoning an entire civilisation to the Borg in order to win on the larger stage. - theChris 14:36, 25 April 2006 (EDT)

I like abandonment to better defende earth and sol. Spock 14:44, 25 April 2006 (EDT)
