Biography[]

Annika Hansen[]

Early life and family[]

Annika Hansen was born on theTendara Colony onstardate25479, tohumanexobiologistsErin andMagnus Hansen. Because her parents moved frequently because of their work, Annika spent a great deal of time with her aunts,Irene Hansen andHelen, onEarth. (VOYepisodes: "The Gift", "Author, Author";VOY -Strange New Worlds 9short story: "Maturation")

One of her ancestors wasSven "Buttercup" Hansen, a22nd centuryprize fighter. (VOYepisode: "11:59",ENT -Rise of the Federationnovel:A Choice of Futures)

Annika's maternal grandmother,Elaine Bergstrom, was asecurity officer aboard theUSSEnterprise during the2270s. She died in2349. (TOSnovel:No Time Like the Past)

By the time that she was five, Annika was living with her parents onHeronius II. She often spoke to herNorwegian maternal grandfather viasubspace. Shortly before her sixth birthday, she was visited by an older version of herself (though Annika did not realize her identity) who tried to dissuade her parents from their plans to leaveFederation space. Following this encounter, Annika began to have disturbing dreams of black cube-shaped starships. (VOY -Strange New Worlds IIshort story: "A Ribbon for Rosie")

Studying the Borg[]

In2354, Annika and her parents left Heronius II aboard theUSSRaven, as they finally had approval by theFederation Council to begin a study of the mysteriousBorg Collective. After spending many months searching for a Borg ship, theRaven had broken regulations and had crossed theRomulanNeutral Zone. However, just as they were contemplating a return to Earth, they encountered aBorg cube. After six months of observation, theRaven followed the cube into atranswarp conduit and into theDelta Quadrant. (VOYepisodes: "Dark Frontier", "The Raven")

Life as a drone[]

The Hansens gathered a large amount of data about theBorg over the next two years, however it came to an abrupt end in2356, when theRaven was detected by the Borg and attacked. The Borg pursued theRaven to aplanet just insideB'omar space, where the science vessel crash landed. While her parents were quickly assimilated, Annika attempted to hide, but was later found and also assimilated. (VOYepisodes: "Dark Frontier", "The Raven")

Annika Hansen was given the designation Seven of Nine and served aboard a cube. In2368, Seven was briefly disconnected from thehive mind when she and several other drones in herunimatrix crash landed onPlanet 1865-Alpha. Scared of being alone, she injected her fellow drones withnanoprobes and established another collective, before being rescued and re-assimilated. (VOYepisode: "Survival Instinct")

Species 8472[]

In2374, Seven, working onCube 3764, was selected as a liaison to work withCaptainKathryn Janeway andLieutenant CommanderTuvok as of the alliance againstSpecies 8472. Their mission was to develop a modified nanoprobe weapon that could destroy 8472 bio-ships and force them to withdraw back tofluidic space. After the mission was successful, Seven attempted to assimilate theVoyager crew, but her link to the collective was severed. (VOY -Strange New Worlds IIshort story: "Seventh Heaven",VOYepisode: "Scorpion")

Voyager[]

Adapting to humanity[]

After many of her implants were successfully removed byVoyager'sEMH, her mental and emotional recovery as well as social training was going to be a huge task. After several attempts to communicate with the collective, Seven eventually accepted that her place was aboardVoyager as an individual. Earning the trust and respect of Captain Janeway, Seven began to work on several projects to enhanceVoyager's capabilities, such as working ontranswarp drive and the construction of theastrometrics lab. (VOYepisodes: "The Gift", "Day of Honor", "Revulsion")

Missions as a crewmember[]

2374[]

In mid 2374, shortly after discovering theHirogencommunication relay stations,Voyager was intercepted by the individual Borg,Hugh. Hugh had learned about Seven's severance from the collective and wanted her to be his Second of theIndependent Nation of Borg. After some deliberation, Seven decided to remain aboardVoyager. (VOYepisode: "Message in a Bottle";VOY -Strange New Worlds IIshort story: "Seventh Heaven")

2375[]

In2375, Seven suffered a telepathic assault by a race known as theSkedans. As a result, the personality of Annika Hansen briefly resurfaced, as part of a plan by the Skedans to exact revenge on the Borg after the near-completed annihilation of their race. (VOYnovel:Seven of Nine)

Later that year, Seven became the target of an assassin aboardVoyager after a series of potentially fatal accidents occurred. An in-depth investigation revealed thatVoyager herself were responsible for the accidents, after a specially programmedbio-neural gel pack had been installed byEnsignRoberta Luke. Luke was revealed to be aSection 31 agent who had been assigned toVoyager in2371 as part of an operation to destroy theMaquis. After re-establishing contact with theFederation in 2374, Luke was ordered to kill Seven, but she herself was killed by theSrivani shortly after. (VOY -S31novel:Shadow)

2376[]

On stardate 53689, Seven analyzed debris that was destroyed with Borg technology; She confirmed that it was Borg technology. During that time, Seven told Janeway that she was receiving a Borg message but was not sure what it meant. WhenVoyager was trapped by a Borg ship of some kind but found its tactics odd. After they failed to modulate their shields against the Borg ship, Seven suggested that she attempt to board the ship knowing that she might still be taken as Borg. Captain Janeway agreed but also advised sending Chakotay, Tuvok and an away team disguised as Borg to the ship. (VOYcomic: "False Colors")

2377[]

In2377, Seven andLieutenantTom Paris were abducted by theChiar whileVoyager was undergoing repairs in orbit. The Chiar were dependent on nanotechnology. After infecting Paris with memory suppressingnanites, Seven was tortured by the Chiar, and eventually removed and replicated Borg nanoprobes. Unfortunately, the nanoprobes began assimilating the Chiar, but Seven was able to modify Paris'memory nanites to disable theBorg nanoprobes. (VOYnovel:The Nanotech War)

Homecoming[]

Seven and the crew ofVoyager successfullynavigated aBorg transwarp conduit and returned home, to theSolstarsystem, onstardate 54973.4. (VOYepisode &novelization:Endgame;VOY -Homecomingcomic: "Issue 1")

In the Alpha Quadrant[]

AfterVoyager's return to Earth, Admiral Kathryn Janeway fought unsuccessfully to get Seven intoStarfleet. (PICepisodes: "Stardust City Rag", "Hide and Seek")

The Fenris Rangers[]

"He was a son to me, Jay. This is for him."

—Seven of Nine toBjayzl,2399^[src]

Upon the USS Voyager's return to Earth, Seven of Nine was met with racism and suspicion by both Starfleet officials and the Fenris Rangers, who feared she could be a Borg infiltrator. (PICnovel:Firewall)

She was even attacked at a celebratoryparade inBloomington using aneurolytic pathogen affecting her Borg implants. The attacker was anAndorian namedSirkan seeking revenge for the assimilation his three children. (VOY -Explorershort story: "Retribution")

Due to her expertise with the Borg, she was a vital part of a Federationthink tank and a member of the Federation’sBorg Task Force. (VOYreference:The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway;VOY -Explorershort story: "Retribution")

Opting to retain herBorg designation over her birth name,Annika Hansen, she was denied herFederation citizenship, though officially, her name change was not cited as the reason. Amid these difficulties, Admiral Janeway's efforts to get Seven admitted intoStarfleet were unsuccessful. Seven's personal connections suffered; she lost touch with all herVoyager crewmates besides Janeway and ended her relationship withChakotay when he was reassigned to theUSSProtostar. Attempts to bond with her aunt,Irene Hansen, failed.

When her appeal for Federation citizenship had been rejected in2380 and her house inCape Town was vandalized by locals, she decided to leave Earth. She then moved to two different worlds and,one year later eventually settled inStarheim onUtsira III, aFederation protectorate. She worked in a factory there.

During that time she was approached by an individual namedArastoo Mardani who claimed to represent theFederation Security Agency. He recruited her to gather intel on theFenris Rangers inArendel onOtroya II. (PICnovel:Firewall)

By2386 Seven joined theFenris Rangers. (PICepisodes: "Stardust City Rag", "Hide and Seek")

During that time, she became friends withBjayzl and told her about her surrogate "son"Icheb. However, Bjayzl had kidnapped Icheb and harvested his body for Borg components onVergessen. Seven ended the operation, but was forced to euthanize Icheb due to the operation. Seven spent the next 13 years tracking Bjayzl down. (PICepisode: "Stardust City Rag")

USSTitan-A[]

Following her brief tenure as acting captain of theUSSStargazer in 2401, Seven was given a starfleet commission of Commander and was assigned asFirst officer of theUSSTitan-A under CaptainLiam Shaw. (PICepisode: "The Next Generation")

Captain of theEnterprise-G[]

Following theBattle ofFrontier Day, Seven, with support from CaptainTuvok, and Shaw's posthumous recommendation, was promoted to Captain. She was given command of theTitan, which had been rechristened theUSSEnterprise-G in2402. She also had CommanderRaffaela Musiker as her First officer with ensignJack Crusher as herSpecial counselor. (PICepisode: "The Last Generation")

Alternate realities[]

Mirror universe[]

First Splinter timeline[]

SeeSeven of Nine (1ST).

Other alternate realities[]

In an alternate timeline in whichVoyager took twenty-three years to return to Earth, Seven married Chakotay at an unknown time and died some time between the wedding and their return to Earth. Grief over her death caused Chakotay's own death in2394. It was these events, along withTuvok's insanity, which caused Admiral Janeway to go back in time and bringVoyager home in 2377. (VOYepisode &novelization:Endgame)

In another alternate timeline, she remained a member of the Collective until late2374, when an attack by Species 8472 liberated her and seven other members ofUnimatrix Zero. They were subsequently rescued by theVostigye shipRyemaran, and Seven reasserted her identity as Annika Hansen.^{[citation needed]}

In another alternate timeline, Species 8472 won the war with the Borg by using theOmega molecule to destroy approximately half of the Borg Collective while limiting the surviving Borg vessels tosublight velocity. As it had already moved beyond Borg space by this time,Voyager was not affected. In this timeline, Seven of Nine was never liberated from the Collective. It was believed that she was killed in the devastation caused by the Omega molecule. (VOY -Myriad Universes -Infinity's Prismnovella:Places of Exile)

In another alternate timeline, Annika Hansen was a member ofJean-Luc Picard's resistance cell, untilWesley Crusher staged a coup, which she joined. She was subsequently killed by theKlingons. (TNG -Myriad Universescomic: "Do Not Close Your Eyes")

Hive[]

In another alternate timeline, when theVoldranaii attacked the Borg and started to purge the galaxy, Seven, operating undercover, was selected by theBorg Queen to be their ambassador again and to help Starfleet update their weapons. She confirmed the Voldranaii threat the Queen told them. When Starfleet realized the Borg's deception, Seven was coerced into betraying Starfleet when the Queen transmitted theSentinel protocol to her. She was forced to give the Borg theprefix codes to all Starfleet ships, enabling the Borg to lower all the Starfleet ships' shields. Fortunately, CommanderLa Forge was able to disrupt the Queen's control over Seven.

Despite LieutenantKira Archer's and Seven's call to terminate herself, Picard kept her alive and under guard. She, Captain Picard, andData then devised a plan to use Seven's filter technology and the nano-virus that the futureLocutus created to stop the Borg. The three of them then beamed to theBorgVinculum, where Picard allowed himself to be assimilated by the Queen. Seven then used her filter to save as many drones as she could. However, Seven was mortally wounded during the attempt, when Lieutenant Archer fired torpedoes at the Borg cubes. Seven then died onboard theEnterprise. (TNG -Hivecomics: "Hive, Issue 2", "Hive, Issue 3", "Hive, Issue 4")

Path to the 25th century[]

Star Trek Online andSTOwebsite:The Path to 2409, released prior toStar Trek: Picard, were intended to portray a25th century version of Seven of Nine, in theprimary universe. With each season ofStar Trek: Picard adding new details to her turn-of-the-century history, the game ended up diverging from hercanon continuity. Since the game has now ret-conned aspects of previous releases, this info is being considered an alternate continuity. One possible explanation is changes to thetimeline due to any of thetemporal incursion events happening between the two time periods.

In an alternate2385, Seven left Starfleet after it decided the fact the Borg were no longer a threat after a decade of non-threatening actions from them. Seven saw their decision as dangerously reckless. Seven then accepted a job as a researcher for theDaystrom Institute. (STOwebsite:The Path to 2409)

In2409, Seven refused to return to Starfleet despite the return of the Collective and the Borg attacks onVega colony. However, at the request of AdmiralTuvok, Seven accepted the position of science adviser to Tuvok's fleet and was assigned to theUSSCallisto. (STOvideo game:Delta Rising)

In2410 theCallisto was destroyed by a malfunction in the automated defense system of a Federation outpost in the Delta Quadrant'sYontasa sector. Seven was able to disable the defenses and beam the survivors aboard the outpost. After being rescued by anAlpha Quadrant Alliance starship, Seven helped the crew re-enable theplanetary defense grid on theTurei homeworld, foiling aVaadwaur invasion. When the USSVoyager arrived in orbit after the battle, Tuvok asked her to rejoinVoyager's crew, and she accepted. (STO -Delta Quadrantmission: "Revelations")

In theyear2411, Seven operated for the Fenris Rangers again. She followed up a report ofBorg activity in theTraelus system when she and an Alliance vessel were pulled toExcalbia. TheExcalbians put them through trials, alongside aconstruct ofMichael Burnham, to help them decide whether to pursue the ideals ofGood orEvil. (STO -J'Ula's Discoverymission: "The Measure of Morality (Part 1)")

The Excalbian constructs becamesentient, and a construct of Seven of Nine, enhanced byControl'snanites into a powerfulBorg Queen, threatened the Excalbians. Seven, Burnham and their allies defeated the constructed queen and her minions, allowing Seven to conclude her mission in the Traelus system. (STO -J'Ula's Discoverymission: "The Measure of Morality (Part 2)")

The War of the Prophets[]

In analternate timeline, "Admiral Seven of Nine" marriedThe Doctor in the late25th century. A renownedFederation scientist with political ties, she and the formerEMH contributed research to thePhoenix Project. Both were compelled out of mutual respect for the countless hours of dedication and sacrifice devoted to thePathfinder Project years ago. (DS9novel:The War of the Prophets)
