Mars

Mars floats red and barren in the black expanse of space, its dusty craters and thin clouds stark against the void. The Borg cube glides past without pause, shrugging off salvos from unmanned pods that streak from Martian defenses. Cutaway shots capture the planet's isolation as explosions bloom silently nearby, the futile resistance underscoring the Borg's unstoppable surge toward Earth and amplifying the crew's desperation light-years away.
