Episode Summary
Synopsis
The Tholians make their move: Siroc tests a new weapon against Starfleet, while the largest meeting of Alpha Quadrant powers since the Dominion War is not going so well. They know they need to band together against the Tholians but the Federation is keeping secrets from its allies. The illegally joined Trill, Zen, has difficulty with his symbiont while the first-ever portrayed Tellarite Captain faces down the Tholians' deadly weapon.
Background Information
- The title refers to the military installation Siroc and the Tholians have established on Tren'La after gaining access to the interior of the Briar Patch in "Countermeasures."
Memorable Quotes
Production Notes
- There is a continuity issue in this episode. Corey Aster states that his most significant premonition about the Borg was on stardate 53427.9, referring back to the flashback events of "In Memory Of" (HF 3.04). With the release of "Q in the Dark" (ANG 1.04) in October 2009, which served as the basis of the flashback in the later Star Trek: Hidden Frontier episode, it is established that the cruise of the Olympus took place beginning on stardate 53902.4.
- Rebecca Wood not only played two roles in this episode, but she also served as one of the Assistant Directors.
- Only this episode and "Piracy of the Noble" were directed by the same person who wrote the episode's teleplay.
- "Beachhead" features the largest number of speaking roles in a single HF episode.
- This episode features the first appearance of Sharon Savene (credited as "Sharon Seven") in the role of Theresa Faisal.
