The Borg are coming to "Enterprise." No, we're not kidding. And it's not even a rumor -- it's been confirmed by Paramount.

The episode, called "Regeneration," centers on an arctic research team on Earth who discover debris from an alien vessel, nearly a century old, buried in a glacier along with the bodies of two cybernetically-enhanced humanoids. Once the beings are thawed for investigation, they come to life and abduct the scientists and their transport vessel. Enterprise is called to intercept.

There is no word yet on whether this Borg ship was part of the sphere destroyed by the Enterprise-E in 1996's "Star Trek: First Contact," however, the timeline would be correct.

The episode is written by "Enterprise" co-producers Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong, and is being directed by David Livingston. Some of the guest cast includes Christopher Wynne, Bonita Friedericky, John Short, Adam Harrington, Vaughn Armstrong and Jim Fitzpatrick.
