During the [[Borg]] invasion of the [[United Federation of Planets]], Riker took command of the ''Enterprise'' after Picard was kidnapped by the Borg and taken aboard their [[Locutus' cube|cube]]. As Riker and the crew discovered, Picard had been [[assimilated]] into the [[Borg Collective]] as his identity was suppressed by [[Locutus]], the [[emissary]] of the Borg. After the Borg used Picard's knowledge to easily defeat a Starfleet [[task force]] in [[Battle of Wolf 359|battle]] of [[Wolf 359]], Riker devised a plan to turn the tables against the Borg as they proceeded to [[Earth]], entailing the retrieval of the Captain from the Borg cube by [[Lieutenant]]s [[Data (Assimilation²)|Data]] and [[Worf]]. Back aboard the ''Enterprise'', Picard was freed from the Collective as he assisted Data in incapacitating the Borg cube, leading to its [[self-destruction]].
