"Ambush" confirms that T'Uerell was responsible for the atrocity.

[[Film/StarTrekFirstContact Following the time-travelling Borg sphere to 2063]], the ''Enterprise''-E destroyed the ship, [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS02E023Regeneration resulting in debris falling to the Arctic]]. At some point, T'Uerell discovered the Borg technology and adapted it for her own use, beginning a century-spanning campaign of terror against United Earth and then the Federation. Among other atrocities, she was responsible for the death of Ruhalter, Captain of the ''Stargazer'', in 2333, resulting in a younger Picard receiving a FieldPromotion to Captain. By 2380, Picard is aware of his role in T'Uerell's rise to power, which makes him all the more determined to stop her.

* StuffBlowingUp: Much care and effort was taken by Mad Doc over making the explosions as awesome as possible. They arguably succeeded.
* SubsystemDamage: This game gives Scotty [[ScottyTime plenty of reasons to throw a fit.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: T'Uerell, [[spoiler: for the ''frinxing BORG''.]]
* NiceJobBreakingitHero: Captain Archer gives himself a hard time over this. He even says that [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise he should have listened to Shran about the Vulcans]].
* TwoDSpace: Averted, kind of. There's full 3D movement...somewhat, but it's less like actual space and more like a level from Star Fox 64.
* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Legions of mods. It's a Franchise/StarTrek SimulationGame. This is to be expected.
* UnitsNotToScale: Planets. Again, just like VideoGame/StarTrekStarfleetCommand, or VideoGame/StarTrekArmada.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: T'Uerell's motivation. [[KirkSummation Kirk calls out]] her InsaneTrollLogic for achieving it. {{Discussed}} in the second to last mission, with Picard almost saying the trope name.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The story was being written by D.C. Fontana, and the prescence of all five series leads, should give one an idea of how good this game could have been.
* WorldBuilding: The story spans hundreds of years across the Trek timeline, and T'Uerell is like a villainous version of BeenThereShapedHistory.
* {{Zeerust}}: Throughout the entire game. First happens in the transition from the more advanced looking and sounding [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]] era to the one of [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]]. And was that an Excelsior-Class with the 1960's style phasers on it?!
* ZombieApocalypse: It involves the origins of the Borg.
