Name: U.S.S. Enterprise (alternate)
Registry: NCC-1701-E
Class: Sovereign-class
Captain: Jean-Luc Picard
Affiliation: Starfleet
Year: 2382
In an alternate universe where the Borg came in a request for aid against the Voldranaii, invaders from another universe, Enterprise led the combined Federation/Borg fleet sent to stop them in the Mutara Sector. Seven, who had been undercover with the Borg while maintaining her individuality, was their liaison with the Queen. Worf headed a strike team to the Voldranaii ship and there it was discovered they were under Borg control anyway. Seven was activated by the Queen, who knew all along her true allegiance, and disabled the fleet with the aid of the prefix codes. The Borg Queen had engineered this ruse and explained as much to Picard, wanting him back as Locutus. Dozens of ships were lost in the ensuing battle, survivors were beamed to Enterprise, including Will Riker and Deanna Troi from Titan. Picard was seriously injured and by the time he came to the Borg had already overrun Cardassia and Betazed and they were on the run, the rest of the fleet scattered. They were found anyway, and Picard decided to try and lose them in the Typhon Expanse. There, a Data from 500 years in the future, rebuilt and sent by Locutus, told them of a way of destroying the Borg forever, but would require them to hand Picard over to the Queen to infect her. Picard did not see any other alternative and sought out the Queen’s Vinculum. They warped in, Picard, Seven (now severed again from the collective) and Data, who would register as a drone. Riker kept the Borg focused on the Enterprise in the meantime. When the Queen was defeated and the virus spread, Seven of Nine attempted to save as many liberate drones as she could. Kira Archer, a bridge officer, mutinied and wanted to put an end to the Borg, and fired torpedoes at the Borg Vinculum. She was taken into custody, and Picard and Seven were beamed back to the ship. Future Data had disappeared. The Enterprise made it out of the destruction intact but severely damaged, Seven however was did not survive the ordeal.
Appeared in Star Trek: Hive, IDW Comics

Computer Gaming World May 1998
Another look at a big computer game (and science fiction) franchise featured in this issue, although a Star Wars game did manage to sneak into the front cover text. One of the game previews within was for a port-to-the-PC of Final Fantasy VII.

Battle of the Captains Quarterfinals 3
No antipropaganda on my polls please
Propaganda
Inej (propaganda by @paul-hectus ) : She was kidnapped from her family when she was very little and brought oversea to become an unwilling sex worker when she was FOURTEEN. She is an amazing acrobat and skilled with knives. She's also a great friend and deeply devoted to her saints. The boy she is in love with got her freedom, knives and her ship. Now she kills and hunts slavers❤️
Picard's the captain of the USS Stargazer NCC-2893, USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E and USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

The Roddenberry Archive
Original Release: 2023
Developer: The Roddenberry Estate, OTOY
Publisher: The Roddenberry Estate
Platform: Browser
The ultimate bridge explorer is finally here. The Roddenberry Archives brings up digital recreations of a ton of Enterprise bridges, including concept bridges brought to life. The website provides a lot of information about the various different version of the Enterprise, and what the digital recreation of the bridge is based on.
All of these bridges can be explored in full 3D. It uses cloud technology so that you get the full detail no matter what PC you’re running (although it does have to be a desktop with Chromium browser) and can walk around, interact with some objects, sit down in chairs or turn on a fly camera. With the vast amount of detail, it’s a phenomenal experience and it’s amazing to look at the bridges in detail.
It starts off with a concept bridge: the XCV-330, the ring ship Enterprise seen in pictures in films and in Enterprise. It uses an early concept for the original Enterprise, with a round holographic table and a science room above it before moving on to the NX-01, which I loved seeing in closer detail, even finding doors I never knew were there.
Then onto the NCC-1701, which gets by far the most love. It has versions of the bridge starting with a concept bridge from early production then showing us the set from The Cage, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, the TOS pilot, TOS Season 1, TOS Season 2, Mirror Universe, TOS Season 3, a live action version of the bridge from The Animated Series, the bridge from the cancelled Phase II show, The Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan and two versions of the Kelvin version bridge, each one showing different versions of the bridge.
Then we get a look at a recreation of a wild concept for a cancelled film called Planet of the Titans, which featured a redesigned Enterprise from Ralph McQuarrie, which ended up inspiring the USS Discovery. It’s a lovely bridge, but not very practical.
From there we see the Enterprise A, B, C, D and E (with the D having multiple extra rooms), all looking absolutely stunning, but it doesn’t end there. It’s fully up to date with the bridges of the Enterprise F and brand new Enterprise G, which looks absolutely glorious. It ends the Enterprises with a new version of the Enterprise J featuring a see-through hull with visible cities, parks and water inside.
But it doesn’t end there, there’s a bonus Voyager bridge, with more to come in the future – hopefully we see the rest of the hero ships as well as other locations on ships, and some non-hero ships as well as alien bridges.
I look forward to the future updates of this software.
