Possibly justified since Starfleet could have been testing a new interior on it that would later be used on the ''Intrepid'' class.

** The Captain: tough but fair leader to his men, or GeneralFailure? He goes on an outright tirade when Sprint shows up late to engineering, but otherwise seems to lead in a very passive style. When sending Furlong and Targus to explore the Borg cube, he tells Sprint: "I won't order you to go," relying on psychological games and peer pressure rather than decisive leadership. And at the very end of the game, he [[spoiler:orders the ship to engage the Borg again, despite the fact they're ten years in the future, the Federation would have recorded the entire ship as lost in battle, and they otherwise have no knowledge of the situation. What use would a starship that is a decade behind in technology have in fighting the Borg when it was just saved from being destroyed with an outright armada of ships at Wolf 359, against one cube? The Captain's decision is just "We're ten years behind the times, but I think we know a bit about fighting the Borg." How?? They relied on Qaylan and Q manipulating everything behind the scenes, and it wouldn't have worked at all if 'Sprint' hadn't become 'Borgified'. All the Captain did is yell "Evasive maneuvers!" from his chair.]] Whether this was all intentional or not, it stands out that a Star Trek captain is depicted this way. (At least without a foil.)

** The end of the game seems to take place at around the same time as ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', and the Capitan makes a big speech about how their going to go to earth to help. But by the time the ''Righteous'' gets to earth, the battle will probably be over already. This however appears to be an error by the game writers, as Picard in First Contact states that it has been 6 years since his assimilation, and subsequent battle at Wolf 359.

Furthermore, Q ends up visting this reality in [[ComicBook/StarTrekIDW "The Q Gambit"]], and you could well say those events ended up renewing him.

''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' then shows just how wrong Q is, when the Borg decide to do exactly that to the downright [[EldritchAbomination Lovecraftian]] Species 8472, resulting in their near-extinction.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Sans Q, all of the characters, including the protagonist, are ''exceedingly'' generic and undeveloped, except for Ensign Anastasia Targus, who has a decently dense backstory, a drug addiction induced by Cardassian torture, a head-implant that can interface with the Borg, a surprisingly chipper personality despite it all, and even a stand-outish name. It makes one wonder if she was originally intended to be a character on one of the canon series. The fact that [[spoiler:she's alive and transported ten years into the future]] at the end practically puts her on a silver platter for fanfic writers; only this game's obscure nature can explain why no Trekkie writers have taken the opportunity yet.
