Battle of Wolf 359 in Trek Lit

^Yeah, any of them can be accepted, but only one at a time, not all in the same presumed continuity. Unless you assume that the references to "forty ships" were rounded down from 43 or so.

Personally, I always figured that maybe "forty starships" was an approximation and it was only 39 all along. I'm always suspicious of round numbers because people often round things off.

Maybe Admiral H has Arabic heritage? The number 40 is often used in Middle Eastern cultures to denote an undefined, great number. There's the account of a Middle Eastern army being wiped out by an enormous force because they radioed to their English or French allies that they were under attack by 40 enemies, when the enemy force was something like 10,000 and the allies thought that there was no need to send reinforcements. Can't recall where I read that, though.

In the Epiphany Trek online fiction series (by Garry Stahl), the battle of Wolf 359 is depicted in one of the stories, without (as I remember) much mention of the Enterprise Dee. The story has the fleet beings assembled, the Captain makes a heavy attack on the Borg, leaves and returns, survivors are collected and they leave the area again, having to deal with the survivors.

All prior to the Enterprise's leisurely arrival.

Do you have a link?

I don't think we're supposed to link to fan fics here.

^ Good point; the authors have mentioned that in the past. My bad. Feel free to message me with a link, if you would.

There was that Star Trek interactive game which was also a audiobook and mentions the USS Righteous which depended on you winning the game to save the ship.In the previous timeline it's destroyed if you fail and in the new timeline it survives.

That's Star Trek Borg. I think that it was mentioned already...
