Star Trek Online at Ten Ton Hammer

Cryptic recently posted a new lore segment for Star Trek Online. The latest entry titled, "Path to 2409 - 2390", chronicles an interview between Jake Sisko and Captain Data. If you thought Data was dead, think again. He has returned in the body of B-4, his lesser evolved brother revealed in Star Trek Nemesis and taken over as Captain of the Enterprise. However, Data's return isn't the key focus of the story. Species 8472 has returned along with concern of another Borg invasion.

In addition to our recent findings, we have only the evidence of Voyager’s records. Admiral Janeway was able to negotiate with several representatives of Species 8472 and come to a peaceful agreement. However, it is clear from her records that it was not a comprehensive agreement, and applied only to that small segment of the population. We cannot know how the species at large regards the Federation.
