Overview
The Borg are a collective entity made up of billions of drones. Starfleet has never determined the exact nature of the Borg's hierarchy however it is clear that the 'Borg Queen' exercises some form of control over the Borg. The Borg homeworld is located in the Delta Quadrant. The Borg are also referred to as 'The Collective' and 'The Hive.'
Borg Vessels
History
Early Contacts
- 2365 - First Contact is made with The Borg by the Enterprise-D after the entity Q, transports them across the Galaxy. Weapons prove ineffective and The Borg display their skills at rapid regeneration. Only with the aid of Q does the Enterprise escape.
- 2366 - A Borg Cube is detected heading for Earth. The Enterprise-D moves to confront the vessel however is unsuccessful. Captain Jean Luc Picard is abducted and assimilated by the cube and turned into Locutus of Borg. Picard's intimate knowledge of Starship capabilities and Fleet tactics means that in the Wolf 359 system, a Starfleet Armada of thirty-nine ships is brushed aside and nearly completely destroyed by the solitary cube. The vessel is later destroyed by the Enterprise after the crew rescue Picard and seperate the man from the machine.
- 2368 - A Borg drone is captured by the Enterprise-D and a plan is devised to introduce a virus into the Collective via the reintergration of the drone. Whilst this plan is worked on however, the drone begins to display traces of individuality and the plan for genocide is abandoned.
- 2373 - A second cube attempts to assimilate Earth and is met by another armada which combats it in the Sol System. Though the cube is destroyed, an escape vessel travels beack in time pursued by the Enterprise-E under the command of Captain Picard. The Borg travel to 2063 and attempt to prevent First Contact however the Enterprise crew is successful in stopping the plan.
Current Status
The exact current status of the entire borg collective is still realtively unknown. Several interesting reports have made there back to the sol system.The borg left in the alpha and beta quadrents no longer communicate with other parts of the collective via there subspace link.Each group of borg in essence forms a "mini" collective seperate and different but each still fully attached to the ideals and beliefs of the greater whole.it is also known that the dominion pathogen is still in effect the borg no longer assimilate thru the use of nanoprobes and injection but instead have reverted back to there old ways of medically altering subjects thru surgery and implantation or devices.
