The second Borg attack on the Federation came in 2373. A single cube again attempted to reach Earth and assimilate its population. By this time Starfleet had been building up its forces in the core of the Federation for several years in response to the Romulan, Borg and Dominion threats; five hundred Starships met the Borg ship at the Typhon sector and fought a four day running battle all the way to Earth. Starfleet managed to inflict significant damage on the cube's outer hull, but the Borg inflicted massive losses on the fleet in the process. By the time the cube reached Earth some three hundred and twenty ships had been lost, most of them with all hands.
{{Infobox Battle
The Enterprise-E arrived at the battle, in violation of orders, as the Borg entered orbit. Captain Picard was able to use his knowledge of the borg to locate a weak point on the hull, and by concentrating the firepower of the few remaining ships on that spot the cube was successfully destroyed. However, the Borg launched a spherical escape pod of some kind as the cube was destroyed, and this ship generated a temporal vortex in order to go into the past and assimilate Earth there. The sphere attacked the launch site of Zefram Cochrane's warp ship, damaging the vessel and killing many of the support staff. They hoped that this would prevent First Contact between the Humans and Vulcans, thus preventing the creation of the Federation. The Enterprise followed the sphere through the vortex and destroyed it, although a group of Borg transported to the Starship and almost assimilated the ship. Eventually the Enterprise crew where successful in both overcoming this attack and correcting the damage done to the past.

The Battle of Sector 001 was a battle between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective.

Prelude

The Battle of Sector 001 began far away in the Typhon Expanse, when a Borg cube was detected approaching the Federation border. Almost all Starfleet assets were redirected to intercept the cube, the major exception being the USS Enterprise, which was ordered to remain on guard near the Romulan Neutral Zone. The crew believed they were being kept away from the battle because Captain Picard had previously been assimilated by the Borg and was therefore not trustworthy. The Captain and crew of the Enterprise chose to disobey their orders and took the ship toward Earth at top speed.

The Battle

The Borg cube was intercepted near the Federation border, and Federation starships kept it under constant fire all the way to the Sol system. Attacked by far more than the 40 ships a cube defeated easily in the Battle of Wolf 359, this cube sustained heavy damage, but it was still fighting effectively, and it had left a trail of battered starships in its wake.

Above Earth, however, the Enterprise arrived. Although freed from Borg influence, Picard discovered that he was still able to "hear" the Collective when close enough to one of their cubes, and he was able to use that intelligence to his advantage, coordinating the remaining Federation ships to attack the most vulnerable parts of the cube. This concentrated fire was sufficient to destroy the already-damaged cube.

As the cube exploded, a Borg sphere emerged from it and generated a time warp through which it escaped into Earth's past. The Enterprise, closely pursuing the sphere, followed it into the past through the same time warp.

The Aftermath

The Borg sphere and the Enterprise emerged in the late 21st century, when Zephram Cochrane was in the final stages of developing humanity's first working warp drive, which would lead to first contact with the Vulcans. The Borg backup plan was apparently to defeat the Federation by assimilating Earth in the past, before the Federation formed. The crew of the Enterprise was able to defeat the Borg before returning to their own time.
