Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Wolf 359

Several (non-canon) games have featured the Battle of Wolf 359 over the years. In the 1996 video game Star Trek: Borg, for example, Q sends the player — Cadet Qaylan Furlong — back in time ten years to the Battle to "avenge [their] father's death" aboard the USS Righteous. Q even appears fully 'Borgified' at various points throughout.

A year earlier, Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo users could play Star Trek: Deep Space Nine — Crossroads of Time, part of the fourth mission of which sees Commander Sisko travel back in time to his own past aboard the Saratoga at the Battle of Wolf 359.

If you prefer your Borg games to be board games, the Star Trek Adventures tabletop RPG Core Rulebook (2017) contains several references to Wolf 359, including the (less-than-optimistic) pre-battle personal log of one "Livvia" aboard the USS Melbourne. On the following page, the Core Rulebook gives the number of the attacking cube as '632'. The Best of Both Worlds cube is also sometimes semi-officially known as 'Locutus' cube,' which is distinct from 'Locutus' cube' in the video game Star Trek: Armada.

Finally, and speaking of Q once more, Star Trek Online previously included a mission — 'The State of Q' — in which the player was sent back in time to prevent the death of Commander Sisko aboard the Saratoga at Wolf 359. The game currently features the new Wolf 359 Memorial Station, composed of twenty-eight salvaged ships. In 2024, the Battle of Wolf 359 was also added to Star Trek Online's historical simulations as part of the 'Both Worlds' season.
