Wolf 359
Riker listing ships destroyed by the Borg at Wolf 359 (more detail here) is one of the most chilling moments in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Wolf 359 Research Project explores the wreckage and includes an interview with Paramount designer Michael Okuda.

You know, this could've been the point where STTNG transcended it's politically correct roots and become what DS9 tried to be: a sci-fi series showing that high tragedy will still be possible in the future. Tragedy emerges from the human condition itself, and it would've been reassuring to see that present day humans, warts and all, could some day make it into an interstellar civilization...without having to turn into soulless, repressed pretty people. One of the reasons I still cherish The Original Series.

DS9 is my favourite of the new series/films for this reason. Even if it owes a debt to B5...
