In the [[Star Trek]] [[fictional universe]], the '''Battle of Sector 001''' was the [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]]'s second major battle against the [[Borg Collective]]. Circa stardate 50893.5 in 2373, long-range scans from space station [[Deep Space 5]] detected the Borg destroying the Federation colony on [[Ivor Prime]]. A fleet of many [[Starfleet]] ships was assembled in the Typhon sector under the command of Admiral Hayes, planning to intercept the [[Borg cube ship|Borg cube]] traveling to [[Earth]]. Intership communication during the battle was broadcast on Starfleet frequency 1486. From initial contact with the fleet until it arrived at Earth, the Borg cube faced many Starfleet ships, including:
*USS ''Appalachia'' (NCC-52136)
*USS ''Bozeman'' (NCC-1941)
*USS ''Budapest'' (NCC-64923)
*[[USS Defiant|USS ''Defiant'']] (NX-74205)
*[[USS Endeavor|USS ''Endeavour'']] (NCC-71805)
*[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|USS ''Enterprise'']] (NCC-1701-E)
*USS ''Excalibur'' (NCC-26517)
*USS ''Lexington'' (NCC-61832)
*USS ''Rabin'' (NCC-63574)
*USS ''Thunderchild'' (NCC-63549)
*USS ''Yeager'' (NCC-61947)
During the battle, Admiral Hayes' [[flagship]] was destroyed, forcing Captain [[Jean-Luc Picard]] of the starship ''Enterprise'' to take command of the fleet. Using his knowledge of the Borg Collective, Captain Picard ordered the surviving fleet to fire simultaneously at a seemingly non-vital sector of the Borg cube. At least one [[Steamrunner class starship]] was lost in the explosion of the cube. As the cube exploded, the Borg launched a [[Borg sphere ship|sphere]] that travelled [[time travel|back in time]] to [[2063]] in an attempt to stop [[first contact (anthropology)|first contact]] between Earth and [[Vulcan (Star Trek)|Vulcan]].
The movie ''[[Star Trek: First Contact]]'' chronicled the beginning and end of the battle.
