The Alpha Quadrant is lost.
The only remaining survivors are exiled to the Beta Quadrant, where they must

----------
On May 13th, 2385, The Borg began a merciless assault on the Alpha Quadrant.
Learning and adapting from their past failures, they came with a vengeance,
taking system by system systematically and then moving on in a large strike
force. And they moved fast! Utilizing improved transwarp capabilities, they
jumped around the alpha quadrant, concentrating their forces primarily on the
main threats, starting at... Earth.
With virtually no warning, the people of Earth awoke to a massive battle in the
sky above them. Starfleet's Earth Defence Division, spearheaded by the legendary
Silverwing, put up a fierce fight, managing to even destroy several cubes; but
it was not enough. Soon the Borg's latest weapon, the pyramid shaped
Assimilators, unleashed their might against Earth. As ships of all shapes and
sizes fled into the air, the pale blue beams struck the Earth in a number of
places, and the haze swept across the planet...
Earth, was assimilated.
Now, in space, a Starfleet fighting a rapidly losing battle were desperate. To
their aid came the being known as 'Q', who took pity on his little subjects whom
he had enjoyed watching for many, many years. Granting the surviving ships an
escape route through some miraculously appearing Wormholes, he indebted himself
almost infinitely to the humans...
----------
Through the next several days, down went the Klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, and so
on; each race being granted an escape route by Q and so surviving annihilation.
Gathered on the brink of the Alpha quadrant and the Beta Quadrant, the surviving
fleets began a 25 year journey through the Beta Quadrant to a system cloaked in
a nebula, dubbed Beta Prime.
And that's where this story begins...
