The Battle of Sector 001 was a conflict fought in 2373 between the Federation and the Borg, with the Federation emerging as victors.
The fleet was banded together by Admiral Hayes in the Typhon sector, where they were to intercept the Borg ship. The first attack failed, and the Borg cube made it as far as Earth. During this part of the conflict, the ship with Admiral Hayes on was destroyed. The USS Enterprise-E arrived on the scene, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard took command of the fleet.
With his tactical knowledge of the Borg, gained from his assimilation six years previously, Picard gave the fleet a set of co-ordinates on which the Federation forces should fire. Whilst they didn't seem to be part of any major systems, the Borg vessel was destroyed after several volleys. Before its explosion, a Borg sphere was launched from the larger ship.
The sphere created a temporal vortex, which the Enterprise entered, finding themselves and the sphere in 2063. When the sphere was destroyed, several Borg, including their "leader", the Borg Queen, beamed onto the Enterprise secretly in an attempt to finish their mission. Their plan ultimately failed however, and they were all killed by plasma coolant. (Star Trek: First Contact).
