Later history[edit | edit source]
- References in ST - DTI novel: Watching the Clock and STO novel: The Needs of the Many establish that the timeline of Star Trek Online is an alternate reality to the timeline in the Destiny novels. In particular, the Borg Invasion of 2381 did not occur in the STO timeline. The two references below this note may be representative of divergent continuities.
Destroyed by the Borg[edit | edit source]
During the invasion of the Borg Collective in 2381, Starbase 157 was one of five simultaneous attacks along with bases 234 and 343 and the planets of Khitomer and Korvat. The USS Enterprise-E received a distress call from 157 and heard as the attacking cube rammed the base and destroyed it. (ST - Destiny novel: Gods of Night)
