Jean-Luc Picard - Star Trek: First Contact.
On stardate 49827.5 (28 October 2372), Picard was chosen to command the new USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E). Nine months after this, circa stardate 50893.5 (22 November 2373), the Borg launched another invasion of the Federation: a single Borg cube again headed straight for Earth.

| | | | | tactician: Encyclopedia II - Jean-Luc Picard - Personal life and interests When enjoying the comforts of home on Enterprises-D and -E, Picard often ordered (from replicators) the beverage "Tea, Earl Grey, hot". Picard is a sort of "Renaissance man" with diverse interests such as classic literature, archaeology, physics, fencing, horseback riding, and his scale models of various Starfleet vessels.

| | | | | tactician: Encyclopedia II - Hannibal - Anecdotes Cicero offers a story of Hannibal while at the court of Antiochus III. Hannibal attended a lecture by a certain Phormio, a philosopher, that ranged through many topics. When Phormio finished the portion about the duties of a general, Hannibal was asked his opinion. "I have seen," he replied, "during my life many an old fool; but this one beats them all."
