Borg Entreaty

The Borg Entreaty was a speech that was made in 2367

It was made in the aftermath of the disastrous Battle of Wolf 359 which saw the destruction of a Starfleet taskforce against the nearly unstoppable might of the Borg Collective. This meant that there was a wave of panic and fear that swept across the United Federation of Planets which led to many sympathies when a Starfleet officer was killed leaving behind his widow with their unborn child. Unlike other famous speeches, this one did not call for freedom of the individual but instead the imprisonment as well as waiving of their inherent rights.

The Entreaty was made by Julie Elliot after the death of her husband and whilst she was pregnant. She made a heartfelt plea which was both eloquent and poignant with the core of it beginning to waiver of the rights due to Federation citizens if any Borg involvement or influence was suspected. This meant anyone could be arrested or detained for the course of a full year without specific charges being filed if there was sufficient evidence provided that the individual was being manipulated by the Borg.
