The objective to work out why the Empire had not made use of the region and whether it was clear for Starfleet to take over. Attempts to salvage the Warbird were unsuccessful, the ship was not as badly damaged as reported and nothing was salvaged before the ship was programmed to self-destruct. Resuming their mission, the Gettysburg set a course for the Dead Zone, encountering a Romulan Patrol along the way consisting of two Warbirds. Using the Sheridan Nebula as a screen, the Patrol was defeated and a computer course laid in for a Romulan Outpost with the intention of retrieving a Federation Data Packet. An Away Team was beamed down to the Outpost, including the Captain who was separated from the rest of the team shortly after their arrival. First Officer McCullough made attempts to rescue the Away Team and their Captain but was killed in the process and a large portion of senior staff injured. The Captain returned to the ship with Lt.

Going to time-warp in an effort to get away quickly, the Borg somehow managed to intercept and knock the Gettysburg off course, altering their preset calculations and instead taking them 12 years in the future - to a future where the Borg had won. The crew encountered their assimilated Borg counterparts who had been cut off from the Collective. When the Borg had intercepted their time-warp, two alternate versions of the Gettysburg were created - one that travelled 12 years in the future and another that was assimilated. Working together to find a way back to their own time to prevent this timeline from happening again, the Gettysburg crew travelled back along with their Borg counterparts, not expecting them to survive the journey and instead cease to exist. However, upon their arrival, their counterparts turned on them and assimilated their crew, bringing things full-circle. The Captain, knowing he had to break the loop somehow, killed the Borg Queen who was also the assimilated version of his own wife. This caused the rest of the Borg counterparts to fade from existence and bring an end to the timeline.

Lineage
The USS Gettysburg was named for The Battle of Gettysburg, one of the most important battles of the American Civil War. Fought at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the Eastern Theater of the War, the battle raged from July 1st through 3rd, 1863. Confederate General Robert E. Lee invaded Pennsylvania for both strategic and logistical reasons, in this campaign, which he hoped would end the War. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, approximately 75,000 men, encountered the Union Army of the Potomac, approximately 90,000 strong, under Major General George G. Meade on the outskirts of Gettysburg on July 1st. In a battle of considerable movement, Advance forces of Lee’s Army (Lt. General A.P. Hill’s and Lt. General Richard S. Ewell’s Corps) tested first the Union right (July 1st), engaging Union Cavalry and Infantry under Brigadier General John Buford, Major General John F. Reynolds (1st Corps), and Major General Oliver Howard (11th Corps). Then, in an assault led by Lt. General James Longstreet’s Second Corp (Major General John B. Hood's and Major General Lafayette McLaw's Divisions), the Union left (July 2nd). While some area's, such as the Peach Orchard were taken, this attacks main focus, on the Union Held High Ground, including Little Round Top, was repulsed by forces such as Colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain's Maine Regiment. On July 3rd, Major General George E. Pickett (along with Major General Isaac R. Trimble and Brigadier General J. Johnston Pettigrew, of A.P. Hill's Corps) led perhaps the most famous charge in American military history against the Union center on Cemetery Ridge. Only 5,000 of this original force of 15,000 survived the repulse. This Three-day struggle is considered the turning point in the Eastern Theater of the War.

With news of the USS Pandora without a trace, the USS Gettysburg is sent out to look for her and find out how and why she disappeared. Setting a course for the Pandora’s last coordinates found the ship dead in space. Sending an Away Team to investigate, the crew of the Gettysburg, an alien artefact was found in the cargo bay of the Pandora that housed a race of energy beings known as the Ym. Two entities managed to find their way aboard the Gettysburg, one of which took control of the ship and warped away for a short time before returning - with a Cardassian shuttlecraft beamed aboard and it’s Captain still alive.

The Gettysburg was dispatched on a standard patrol mission of the Romulan Neutral Zone. During the patrol, a distress call was received from Outpost 10, a listening post along the Federation/Romulan Neutral Zone declaring that a large asteroid was on a collision course for the station.

With a suspicious build up of Romulan forces along the border with Federation Space, the Gettysburg is called to a strategy meeting and to rendezvous with a large number of ships at Starbase 157. Following orders to plan a defence against Romulan attacks, the Gettysburg waited for the inevitable war.
