The TRAGIC Fate Of The NX-02 Columbia! - Star Trek Explained

  • The early days of Starfleet and the United Earth, before the Federation, were some of the most challenging days of human history. Every day in the final frontier was a battle for survival. This was no different for the crews of Earth’s first Warp Five starships.
    We had the NX-01 Enterprise and the NX-02 Columbia; however, while the NX-01 was under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer and successfully made it to retirement, the same could not be said for the NX-02, under the command of Captain Erika Hernandez.

    Archer's recommendation for more weapons and the new captain be ready to use them always struck me as tragic. Archer was not a military man, he didnt want to be military, he didnt sign up for military. He wanted to be an explorer, a discoverer, and a pathfinder for humanity. Instead, he increasingly found himself in combat and sending people to die. He was jaded, angry, and depressed.

      Experience will almost always let you know that your high ideals are bs. The real world, or galaxy, is mean, nasty, and unforgiving. Yes, they needed better offense and defense. Archer learned that you must be prepared. Pacifists are often the first to die.

    Not all the crew were killed in the vortices, one engineer survived, he was mid transport when the intense energy hit the ship, his transporter beam rematerialised in an alternate universe. A universe that was similar but diverged in the timeline from around the 1990s, he struggled with the loss of his crew mates, with never being able to return to his family or to his home, as he knew it. He almost gave up being enlisted but he pulled through, went into command, made a new home, new friends and one day became the captain of a ship called the Orville. It's 100% cannon

    you could not blame them for creation of borg,since the celliar created unknowingly a timeloop,leading always to the big issue that displaced that one city into the past,with just the right kind of psychopath on it. It had always to happen. which makes it even more tragic as it already is. (awesome story btw, my favorit borg origin story of all time)

    • @TheRezro
      @TheRezro ปีที่แล้ว

      I personally believe that Borg was just a tool of greater force. What was using Federations for own means (totally not robot squids from future). For reminder Gainan stated that Borg behavior toward Earth was irregular. Borg usually send thousands Cubes to ensure total assimilation of the target. But in case of Earth ships were send one by one. If you think about it if not Wolf 359, Earth would be vastly unprepared for Dominion War. And they did not learn they lesson where Starfleet was almost wiped by alien virus. But they did get the point after Borg attacked them during Fleet Day and so they start dispersing own forces more carefully. Same First Contact actually has impact on the Cochrane, who take inspiration seeing Sovereign in the sky. So random Borg emergency signal probably was not the cause of issue. It was part of the greater plan.

      Technically they did but the only reason Borg knew of humanity in the 21st.

    I always thought when Paramount made Star Trek: Beyond.

Instead of the Kelvin timeline's Enterprise 1701 crew finding the Franklin they could have found the Columbia instead.

      That would have been cool. I wonder if copyright restrictions were part of the reason why they didn't use the columbia. The Kelvin USS Enterprise had to look different from the TOS one because of copyright restrictions. Since the Columbia existed before the Kelvin Timeline, it should look the same, but copyright restrictions will surely apply to it.

    The Caeliar created their own time loop that caused their own destruction as it were which lead to the creation of the Borg and the ultimate end of the Columbia. I'd hazard a guess that Columbia's presence probably wouldn't have changed things much, with the exception of the end of the Borg.

      Unfortunately Enterprise was caned after the war. Though considering that according to Beta canon books, holo-recording from show finale was fake. I do believe that it actually fall in temporal anomaly. Speaking of that Archer Drive was notorious for causing those and I believe the same happen with Columbia. And crew only assumed it was due to dilatation. After all similar incidents happen with Ceres class SS Bonaventure and Freedom class NX Franklin. So there was a pattern. It also would explain why Vulcans agree to share own classified Warp 7 drive. To rid off Henry Archer Engines.

    • @JoeWaylo

      From what I remembered about Star Trek Enterprise's Series Finale, the final episode Riker fast-forwarded to their tenth year as the show was terminated on Season Four and they skipped 6 whole seasons to the point when Archer signed the charter.
      The non-canon books wrote two stories. The Romulans made it to Earth to destroy Starbase One and Earth, Columbia being a victim of that incident blowing up. The second one said they disappeared in Tau Ceti like the Bermuda Triangle and wound up in the Gamma Quadrant buried on a desert with all lives lost.

    Interesting! I owned an X-BOX 360 game called-
    Star Trek: Legacy
    In that game, it is revealed that it was V'GER who created the Borg in order to assist it in completing its mission! To learn, or "Assimilate" all there is to know and gave them the autonomy to operate and complete their objective! Eventually, V'GER became self-aware and realized that it needed to evolve. Which is when it returned to earth, to "join with the creator.".
    Once V'GER accomplished that, it no longer needed the Borg. But it didn't shut them down before joining with the "creator" a.k.a. Captain Decker. As a result, the borg continued to assimilate until they grew beyond the original programming. Unfortunately, they didn't take a big step away from the original programming. They just adopted a new reason for assimilation. The pursuit of perfection!

    Nice job. I'm a huge Star Trek fan and was curious about the NX-02 Columbia. I would have liked to see Columbia's delightfully girl-ish captain serve as an officer under Archer to battle aliens and T'Pol for Archer's attention. She reminds me of Julie McCoy, Cruise Director of the Love Boat.

    How many borg origin stories are there? The only one I heard of before now was that Voyager 6 landed on a planet that did some stuff with it and then released it back into space, eventually leading it to the events of the motion picture, and the species on that planet eventually became the borg.

    • @TrekCentral
      @TrekCentral  ปีที่แล้ว

      In the Star Trek: Destiny novels, it is revealed that they technically did. The surviving NX-02 crew members that travelled back in time with the Caeliar were absorbed by the last surviving Caeliar, the now-degenerate Sedin. This confirmed the Borg originated from the planet Arehaz.
      So yes, they would be active in the 17th Century, but there creation came about much, much earlier :)

    I have a question that might put a few holes in the "Rise of the Borg.
    If the Borg were in fact created by Starfleet, then why did the Borg try to communicate with their 21st century counterparts during "First Contact"?
    If the Borg were not created until the late 21st century, then who were the Borg trying to contact during First Contact?

    Even with warp capable ships, these early Starfleet ships still would've been handicapped by the most notorious and insidious of exploration issues there is, "logistics". Food, water as well as medical supplies and other common needs would have held back the mission. This is before the advent of replicator technology so like the ocean going ships of old starships would still need resupply. Still this period of star trek was those "heady days" of exploration and people just wanted go see what was out there beyond our telescopes.

    I personally don't count Enterprise as cannon, as it outright contradicts facts giving in the The Original Series and TNG; such as the Romulans didn't have warp tech till they stole it from the federation. But in Enterprise they have warp 5 ships, and were trying to make a warp 7 ship.

    I am a big fan of Larry Niven’s “Known Universe” series of short stories. In the Star Trek cartoon series the Kzinti were introduced by adapting the Niven short story “A Gift of Empire” into the series. The Kzin have a unique anatomy. They have a geodesic bone structure. In WWII there was a bomber that had such a structure, Vickers Wellington. Look at that plane’s structure to get an idea of what it may look like. Niven also had a drawing in one of his shirt story anthologies.
