That Utopian universe is interrupted greatly when “Q” the almost omnipotent, rebuts Jean-Luc Picard’s cavalier attitude toward him by teleporting the USS Enterprise to a distant system for their first encounter with the Borg. Q then tells Picard "The Borg is the ultimate user. They're unlike any threat your Federation has ever faced."
