Picard killed the Borg Queen after she tried to persuade Lieutenant Commander Data to give her the encryption code by which he had locked the Enterprise's computer.
The pathogen completely decimated the Borg Queen and left the entire Collective in ruins, and while Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D dealt the final killing blow, it was Janeway who originally crippled the Collective permanently.
In the series finale, "Endgame", a future Admiral Janeway tries to bring Voyager back to Earth using a Borg transwarp hub. During this episode, she infects the Borg with a neurolytic pathogen which infects the collective and kills the Queen.
However, the Queen captures the admiral and begins to assimilate her into the Borg collective. Admiral Janeway then turns the tables by unleashing a pathogen she was carrying in her bloodstream into the collective, devastating it and killing the Queen.
Janeway Has The Most Successful Starfleet Career Of The TNG Era Captains. While several arguments could be made about who was the most influential of the major 24th century Captains, there's really no debate to be had over which character had the most fruitful Starfleet career.
Summary. Admiral Janeway cameo considered for Picard Season 3, but showrunner Terry Matalas feared it would overshadow Seven of Nine's story. Seven of Nine's journey in Picard Season 3 was one of the best story arcs, starting as First Officer and ending as Captain of the Enterprise-G.
Admiral Picard felt similarly restricted, as demonstrated by his resignation, a backfired attempted bluff to maneuver Starfleet's official position. In contrast to these similar roles, Janeway's lengthy record as an admiral decisively surpasses Kirk's and Picard's.
Species 8472 possessed superior bio-technology to the Borg Collective, and used it to swiftly destroy multiple Borg Cubes. Species 8472 launched their own invasion of Borg space, something that Janeway believed to be a major threat to the future of the Delta Quadrant.
Only one Queen exists at any given time; when she is destroyed, a new Queen takes her place. In Star Trek: Voyager, it's revealed that the Borg Queen isn't a singular entity, but the name given to any that serves as its host, possessing all previous Queen's collective consciousness.
During a brief moment of contact, Janeway helps them destroy the Borg cube, with all hands on board. Although Seven manages to escape, Janeway is killed. Her memorial service sees a vast turnout, and a tall gleaming pillar with a light burning atop it is constructed in tribute to her.
The Borg discover Species 8472 in the Delta Quadrant and try to assimilate its biotechnology, which is more advanced than anything the Borg have seen. The Borg quickly realize that Species 8472 is immune to assimilation and that contemporary Borg technology is no match for it.
Kate Mulgrew is the main reason Janeway and Chakotay never happened. While it may seem like Voyager's creative team dropped the ball, it was a request from Kate Mulgrew that stopped the Janeway/Chakotay romance in its tracks.
In that future, Seven was killed on a mission in 2381 and Chakotay died in 2394. The series finale left the couple's future open-ended; however, this storyline hasn't been mentioned in any follow-up iteration of Star Trek, including Picard and Prodigy.
Star Trek: Nemesis revealed that Captain Janeway had been promoted to Admiral after Voyager's return home, while Star Trek: Prodigy showed the now Vice Admiral Janeway in command of a new ship, the USS Dauntless, working to locate a missing Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran).
The Queen was seemingly killed by the Enterprise-E crew before they returned to 2373. However, the Borg Queen was subsequently resurrected and returned in Star Trek: Voyager, where the crew of the USS Voyager did battle with her on multiple occasions while traveling through the Delta Quadrant.
Thanks to the neurolytic pathogen previously delivered by Voyager's crew, Picard was able to wipe out the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) and decimate her remaining drones, supposedly leaving Agnes Jurati's (Allison Pill) Borg Collective as the only remaining Borg in the galaxy.
Originally Answered: Is the Borg Queen 7 of 9's mother? We know for a fact that she is not. The Queen was a member of Species 125, Erin Hansen was human and therefore a member of Species 5618.
Originally Answered: How did Janeway take the borg down? Janeway used a nano virus the Borg were years behind comprehending to wipe them, out. She infected herself, and allowed herself to be assimilated. Faking hiding using stealth tech she knew wasn't effective against the Borg.
The Borg learn everything they know about an enemy through assimilating beings. The Borg couldn't assimilate Species 8472 because their immune systems were hyper-advanced.
Subsequently, in the Pocket TNG novel Before Dishonor, Admiral Janeway was assimilated by the Borg and became a Queen who was eventually defeated by Seven of Nine. In the Star Trek: Destiny trilogy, a newly installed Queen oversaw a massive Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant.
Although any further details would be purely speculative, it fits with the established canon and timeline that the ancient Romulans could've started experimenting with artificial life forms, accidentally created the Borg and realized the terror their experiments had given rise to.
The secret the Zhat Vash kill to protect could be that the Romulans are responsible for the creation of the Borg. Since their introduction into Star Trek, the Borg have been a plague, easily seen by all sentient races as the greatest threat to their continued existence.
But as Beltran explained on Twitter, he declined to return. “I was offered an episode (first 2 then1) in Picard, but I simply did not like what they had written for Chakotay so I turned them down,” wrote Beltran.
While Dr. Crusher and Vash are two of the Enterprise captain's greatest lost loves, there is another woman from his past who is often forgotten. In 2342, Jenice Manheim (Michelle Phillips) and Jean-Luc Picard were briefly in a romantic relationship before he shipped out, possibly on the USS Reliant.
