The cameo appearances of two Star Trek: Voyager actors in Star Trek: First Contact helped pave the way for Voyager to tackle major Borg storylines. Star Trek: First Contact was the eighth film in the Star Trek movie franchise, and the second film to feature the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The movie's plot included the Borg as the main antagonists, revolving around Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew traveling back in time in order to prevent the Borg from stopping the birth of the Federation by changing Earth's past.
