| - During their exploration of the Arctic Circle, the A-6 team discovered a craft of unknown origin. As they investigated the crashed vehicle and its crew, later identified as Borg drones, the members of the team were assimilated, along with their ship, into the Borg Collective. The new drones then attempted a journey in Arctic One to the Collective's territory in the distant Delta Quadrant. While not normally armed with weapons, the Borg assimilated the Arctic One had developed cutting beams and proton bursts. En route, the ship attacked a Tarkalean freighter, which sent out a distress call asking for assistance. The United Earth starship Enterprise NX-01, captained by Jonathan Archer, arrived to help the Tarkaleans. Archer ordered the assimilated transport to stop its attack or be fired upon, to which the transport fired proton bursts at the starship. Enterprise returned fire, disabling the transports weapons. The Arctic One then takes off at warp while Enterprise sends an away team to help the survivors. Arctic One was later intercepted by Enterprise, which dropped out of warp before sending an activation sequence which disabled Enterprise's weapons and warp drive. The transport closed in and attacked Enterprise, critically damaging her hull before sending six drones onto the starship. Captain Archer and Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, the armory officer, then beam aboard the transport and eventually destroyed the EPS manifold disabling the transport's systems. When Archer determined there was no way to help the assimilated crew members, he decided to destroy the transport. Arctic One tried to lock weapons again but was destroyed by Enterprise, using four spatial torpedoes and a phase cannon blast; however, before the ship's destruction, the drones successfully transmitted a subspace message to the Delta Quadrant, alerting them to Earth's location.
