This left them exposed long enough for the Borg to detect them and perceive them as a target for assimilation. The ship sustained damage, including, most importantly, damage to the multi-adaptive shielding, which went off-line for 13.2 seconds. Their research came to an abrupt end in 2350 when an ion storm struck the Raven. They even went aboard Borg vessels, using bio-dampeners to remain undetected. They gathered a great deal of scientific data on the biology of Borg drones and the nature of the Collective by moving undetected through Borg space due to multi-adaptive shielding, invented by Magnus Hansen. ( VOY: ' The Raven')Īt some point, the Hansens encountered a Borg cube and followed it through its transwarp conduit into the Delta Quadrant, the Borg's region of origin. ( VOY: ' Dark Frontier') One memorable event Annika shared aboard the vessel during their three year trek was the celebration of her sixth birthday: her birthday cake, at the time, had six candles, with one to grow on. They spent a good deal of time aboard the Raven in search of the Borg.

After a great deal of persuasion, the Federation granted the Hansens the use of the USS Raven, a small long-range craft, to aid them in their investigation.ĭuring the late 2340s, they took Annika, then aged four, along with them. Time on the RavenĪnnika's parents were exobiologists investigating the existence of the Borg. This age clearly conflicts with the ages given and passage of time previously associated with when she and her parents later departed the quadrant. ( VOY: ' Author, Author')Īccording to her aunt, Annika was six when she visited her.

She was very strong-willed and did not hesitate to point out if the strawberries used in baking the tarts were not perfectly ripe. Her favorite treats were strawberry tarts, which Irene used to coax Annika out of a guest room in which she had locked herself. ( VOY: ' One Small Step')Īnnika once stayed with her Aunt Irene. ( VOY: ' The Gift') At one point in her childhood, she wanted to become a ballerina. ( VOY: ' Hunters') Her favorite color growing up was red. ( VOY: ' Dark Frontier')ĭuring her childhood, she never visited Earth. Annika was born in 2344, on stardate 25479, at the Tendara colony as the only daughter of eccentric Federation exobiologists Magnus and Erin Hansen.
