This special telefilm, entitled ``Dark Frontier,'' will air during February sweeps on UPN. ``Dark Frontier'' follows the epic struggle between Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the Borg Queen for control of Seven of Nine. The story begins with a 24th century heist, as the crew of Voyager attempts to infiltrate a Borg vessel to steal their advanced technology. The plan goes awry and Seven of Nine is reassimilated by the Borg. The episode will also take us back 20 years to meet Seven of Nine's family and see how they were assimilated. ``Dark Frontier'' was written by Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky. ``Dark Frontier'' marks the return of the evil Borg Queen, who made her first appearance in Paramount's blockbuster feature film ``Star Trek: First Contact.'' The role will be played by Susanna Thompson (``The Ghosts of Mississippi,'' ``Little Giants''). STAR TREK: VOYAGER recently celebrated its 100th episode, making it the first UPN series to reach that significant mark. The episode garnered the show its highest household and adult ratings in over a year. At the helm of the Starship Voyager is Kate Mulgrew as Captain Kathryn Janeway.
