Wolf 359 Questions

[JoeZhang]

...In a sense, a logical location for a "last stand".

Yet when one thinks it through, it makes zero sense. The only possible place to mount a last stand in space warfare is the target itself. The Borg would have had no reason to stop at or near Wolf 359, after all.

The fact that the last stand battle was still fought tells us two things. One, the Borg made an absolute beeline from Jouret to Earth (or else Starfleet couldn't have predicted where to wait for them, as a beeline would have been the only course in the universe that would have been predictable enough for an intercept attempt). And two, the Borg wanted the fight as badly as Starfleet did (or else they wouldn't have stopped, at least not for long).
