Star Trek: Destiny | comment |
Part of the Star Trek Novel Verse.With the end of Star Trek: Voyager in 2001 and the flop of Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002, the canonical Star Trek franchise changed its focus from the 24th century back to the 22nd and, ultimately, 23rd centuries. The upshot was that the bleeding edge of the Star Trek mythos was completely abandoned... with, for the first time in decades, absolutely no new developments planned on the horizon.Needless to say that the way was paved for a more active Star Trek Expanded Universe, where writers of novels were finally free to really shake things up and the status quo no longer held the sway it once did.All of this culminated in late 2008 with Star Trek: Destiny, an epic novel trilogy by David Mack, detailing the final war between The Federation and the Borg Collective. After suffering one defeat after another at the hands of Starfleet, the Borg have finally decided to cut their losses and wipe out Humanity once and for all. To this end, they send an armada to the Alpha Quadrant using a network of interstellar tunnels, left behind by a Sufficiently Advanced Alien race. Things look bleak for Starfleet, but the wreck of a ship, lost mysteriously centuries earlier, may hold the secret to the Federation's survival.The story is spread out over three novels (Gods of Night, Mere Mortals and Lost Souls). Major spoilers are found below. The books were followed by A Singular Destiny and Losing the Peace as pseudo-epilogues.This series is also notable as the main point at which the novelverse and Star Trek Online's continuity diverge for good: the all-out Borg invasion never happens in that game. | |

Star Trek: Destiny / int_1044a759 | comment |
Dying Race: The Caeliar lost the ability to reproduce when they advanced to their current form. They didn't think it would be a problem, but when 98% of their people are lost in an Earth-Shattering Kaboom, it eventually forces a reexamination of their cultural ideals. | |

Diabolus ex Nihilo: The Enterprise and Aventine take a subspace tunnel to the Delta Quadrant, accidentally emerging smack-dab inbetween two stars, which fries their ships. As they're repairing, a larger-than-usual pack of Hirogen show up, just to make things more complicated for everyone. Which turns out to be a blessing in disguise, since it keeps them from being at the Azure Nebula when the Borg show up. | |

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Subverted: The Admiralty seems really stupid for not distributing transphasic torpedoes throughout the fleet at first. Turns out that they had a point, as the later heavy usage of the weapon results in the Borg adapting to the supposedly unadaptable torpedo. Played straight with the Caeliar leader Ordemo Nordal. | |

Good Thing You Can Heal: Lieutenant Kedair, as a Takaran, can recover from injures that would be totally crippling or just fatal to most others. Which comes in handy when a Borg probe ship tries to assimilate her. By the time Hernandez saves her, her arm's hanging on by a string and one of her eyes has already been scooped out. After a while in sickbay, she's recovered nicely. | |

Star Trek: Destiny / int_533bc7ae | comment |
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: The Borg, obviously. However, one scene in particular is notable. Star Trek: Titan character Torvig Bu-kar-nguv is from a race of non-humanoid cyborgs (Choblik), who owe their intelligence and civilization to their implants, being a race of Uplifted Animal. In previous novels, Torvig initially had difficulty comprehending the full horror of the Borg Collective. Now, though, the implications finally hit him, and he ends up perhaps the most horrified of all; this trope, and thus the Borg, are essentially the anti-Choblik, their most primal horror. He makes his friend Ranul Keru promise that he won't let Torvig be taken by Borg. | |

Divided We Fall: Averted. Martok's nemesis Councillor Kopek agrees this is no time for politics. When Martok, leading the Klingon fleet, calls Kopek back on Qo'noS to warn him of impending Borg attack, Kopek assures Martok his throne will be waiting for him upon his return. Martok replies "with you sitting in it, I imagine?" However, Kopek for once isn't planning anything, and says so. It's the first time the character has been presented as anything other than a selfish monster; he understands the severity of the situation. He also dies defending Qo'noS, so possibly Redemption Equals Death. | |

Sequel Hook: The Children of the Storm. Indeed, they've since been followed up on in the Star Trek: Voyager Relaunch books. The trilogy also sets the stage for the rise of the Typhon Pact. See A Singular Destiny and Star Trek: Typhon Pact. | |

Cowardly Lion: Like most Ferengi, Ambassador Derro is a mass of nerves around the more aggressive races...but when it's time to string them along with his fine grasp of commerce, he shows great cunning and confidence. Reluctant to commit to an alliance with the Federation, he comes through for President Bacco by hiring the Breen as mercenaries, adding them to Bacco's coalition while depriving the Tholians of a potential ally. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
Star Trek: Destiny / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Many. Among the more notable examples: The crew of the Imperial Romulan Warbird Verithrax, who destroyed themselves saving planet Ardana from destruction, Captain Pachal and the crew of Ranger, using their ship as a missile to take out a Borg cube menacing Khitomer, and six million Caeliar to save their human “guests” during the destruction of Erigol. Lt. Lonnoc Kedair's attempt to do this fails, but she's still freakin' awesome anyway. | |

Godzilla Threshold | |
Star Trek: Destiny / int_72856b70 | comment |
Godzilla Threshold: The situation gets so bad that Starfleet seriously considers holding the Borg off with thalaron weapons and evacuating the Federation's population to another galaxy. In fact, Seven of Nine coldly deduces that the Federation cannot hope to win, and must embrace such desperate tactics to survive at all. Near the end of the final book, Picard, Riker, and Ezri contemplate destroying the Caeliar's Omega molecule generator in the event that the Caeliar failed to stop the Borg. They freely acknowledge that the resulting explosion of Omega molecules would destroy most of the galaxy, and put an end to all warp travel in several nearby galaxies. | |

Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations explicitly says that in the long run, if the Borg hadn't invaded (and subsequently been defeated) at that point in history, nothing could have stopped them from conquering the entire galaxy by the year 2600 at the latest. | |

Captain Hernandez ends up in a distant part of the alpha quadrant, 800 years earlier. Another city-ship is sent to a far corner of the universe, near the beginning of time (eventually causing the catastrophe which destroyed Erigol in the first place). A third goes back in time to the Delta Quadrant seven thousand years earlier, where they give rise to the Borg... are you taking notes? | |

Can't Argue with Elves | |
Star Trek: Destiny / int_9d29321a | comment |
Can't Argue with Elves: The Caeliar, who have evolved almost completely beyond the need for physical bodies, have no crime, poverty, or want, and are devoted completely to artistic and scientific pursuits. They have just enough respect for others' beliefs to not try to convince other races that the Caeliar's way is correct, but no amount of cajoling will convince them that the Caeliar's way is wrong, or even just not applicable to all circumstances. They are severely isolationist, but are Actual Pacifists, which leads various characters who stumble upon their home planet to become permanent "guests". Not a bad place to be, all things considered, but don't argue too much. Make too much noise or disrupt their work and the Caeliar will teleport you to a nice uninhabited planet a few billion light years away, just to make sure you never get home with information about them. | |

Pyrrhic Victory: The Borg war, pretty much. Yes, the Federation won and the Collective was liberated, but Deneva, Risa, Coridan and several other major worlds have been wiped out, while Vulcan, Andor, and Qo'noS and many other worlds are severely damaged, 40 percent of Starfleet has been destroyed, and 63 billion people are dead. There isn't any mood to celebrate. | |

Omnicidal Maniac: The Borg Collective, following the loss of the transwarp network, are done with the Federation repeatedly stopping their attacks. The Borg's new goal, until they are stopped/saved is simply "destroy everything". It's summed up by the taunting message the Borg send to the Federation, which outright scares Picard: We are the Borg. You will be annihilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness have become irrelevant. Resistance is futile... but welcome. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Star Trek: Destiny / int_d39e327f | comment |
Though, it should be noted, La Forge's What the Hell, Hero? speech comes after Riker makes a more diplomatic attempt at one - at this point in the Borg invasion, any plan they come up with qualifies as being based in desperation and is a longshot, there's just as little - or just as much - chance of the thalaron weapon working as Hernandez's plan, but when Picard learns that the Enterprise is the only ship in a condition to enact the plan, he immediately vetoes it without consideration. Riker argues that Picard has abandoned hope, crossed his Despair Event Horizon, and is just looking to take as many Borg down as he goes, rather than actually fighting to survive, a point that even Beverly, who Picard is now married to, had also softballed an attempt at making. Ultimately, it comes across as much that the author and audience know they're in a Star Trek story as La Forge's speech being the straw that breaks the camel's back (or the phaser rifle that breaks the little model Enterprises on the wall.) | |

Very basically, a group of Caeliar and humans were stranded on a remote planet in the distant past where the Caeliar were dying, and the last one of them, with almost none of her mind left other than a desperate need to survive, forcibly merged with the humans, creating cyborgs that had little mental directives other than consume and survive. | |

Brick Joke: Through Mere Mortals, Fletcher is shown spending her time in Axiom writing fan fiction. During Lost Souls, the Titan away team find her work, and it turns out she wrote several novels. | |

Gondor Calls for Aid | |
Star Trek: Destiny / int_fe5e40e2 | comment |
Gondor Calls for Aid: Subverted. President Bacco does indeed call for aid from all other powers in the Alpha and Beta quadrants, but their response is tepid and the combined fleet is annihilated within minutes anyway. All that her efforts really accomplish is to antagonize the Tholians. | |

Obi-Wan Moment: Both T'Lana (see Star Trek: The Next Generation Relaunch) and Charivretha zh'Thane (of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch) die like this, peacefully accepting their fate when they are caught in the bombardment of Vulcan and Andor, respectively. | |
