In addition to this stronghold in the Delta Quadrant, the Borg also dispatched vessels throughout the galaxy via transwarp conduits. A Borg vessel traveled back in time from in an unsuccessful attack on Earth in Star Trek: First Contact Drones which survived this defeat were discovered and reactivated by Human scientists in , and transmitted a subspace message to Borg space before being destroyed by Enterprise NX ENT : " Regeneration ". The Borg entered the home system of the El-Aurians at some point in their mutual history, swarming through it, scattering its native inhabitants and leaving little to nothing of the El-Aurians in their wake.
Star Trek Generations These refugees included Guinan , who would later provide secondhand knowledge of the Borg invasion of the El-Aurian system to the crew of the USS Enterprise -D during an encounter in the 24th century.
By the s , rumors of an alien race called "The Borg" had reached the Alpha Quadrant, inspiring exobiologists Magnus and Erin Hansen to set out in search of them.
Their research took them all the way to the Delta Quadrant before they and their daughter Annika were assimilated in In late , a Borg cube invaded Federation space and assimilated Jean-Luc Picard , whose tactical information contributed, along with the Borg's own vastly superior power, to Starfleet 's disastrously one-sided engagement with the cube, the Battle of Wolf A fleet of forty starships assembled to combat the cube.
All but one of these ships were destroyed, while the cube remained intact, damaged but healing rapidly. The Borg-Species War decimated the Collective from - In , a crippling blow was delivered to the Borg when Voyager discovered one of their transwarp hubs and destroyed it, killing the Borg Queen again and devastating the Unicomplex in the process. During this battle, the Borg were infected with a neurolytic pathogen , which was carried by an alternate future version of Admiral Janeway and designed to disrupt the hive mind, to 'bring chaos to order'.
It was this pathogen that killed the Borg Queen, and allowed Voyager to destroy the transwarp hub. VOY : " Endgame ". The Borg Collective was believed to still operate as late as PIC : " Maps and Legends ". Riker succeeded him as the captain of the Enterprise -D with Worf as his first officer. TNG : " Parallels ".
In another alternate quantum reality, the Borg emerged victorious from Wolf and successfully conquered the Federation. A battered Enterprise -D which was likewise under Riker's command was one of the few remaining Starfleet ships by That reality's Riker was desperate not to return to his universe once all of the Enterprise s began spilling into a single universe from a quantum fissure.
After the present reality's Enterprise -D fired lightly upon the other ship to draw the alternate reality crew's attention away from that crew's attempt to prevent the closing of the fissure, the heavily damaged ship was accidentally destroyed when its shields collapsed and their warp core overloaded , due to having a weakened warp containment field , as Riker presumed, from fighting with the Borg. In another alternate timeline, the Borg were successful at preventing First Contact in and assimilated the Earth.
In , the assimilated Earth had an atmosphere containing high concentrations of methane , carbon monoxide , and fluorine. It had a population of approximately nine billion Borg drones. The Borg Collective was made up of at the very least trillions of humanoids referred to as drones. VOY : " Dark Frontier " Through the use of their cybernetic implants, the Borg interacted by sharing one another's thoughts in a hive mind.
Upon assimilation, these trillions of "voices" would overwhelm the drone, stifling individual thought and resistance to the Collective's will.
TNG : " Family " To some drones these voices could eventually become a source of comfort, and their absence a source of pain. Borg philosophy was governed by a primary directive to add the biological and technological distinctiveness of other species to that of the Borg. In this manner, the Collective sought to achieve its definition of perfection; all other pursuits were deemed irrelevant. Accordingly, Borg drones did not engage in any activities except their duties and regeneration.
Having no regard for individuality, Borg drones were identified with designations rather than names. A drone's designation typically described its position within a group, e. If a drone was sufficiently injured or otherwise in distress, other drones would offer assistance. Borg drones ignored alien species until they demonstrated the potential to be a threat or a suitable candidate for assimilation. This extended even to taking no notice of people boarding their vessels; the drones went about their business as long as the intruders did not interfere.
When addressing a small number of individuals, drones would simply attempt to assimilate them without comment. Before assimilating a larger population, such as a starship or an entire culture, the Borg would collectively transmit a standard announcement of their purpose and the futility of resistance. As of , the Borg considered the Kazon beneath their notice, and by , they only took interest in the Brunali if they detected sufficiently relevant technology.
Even examples of civilizations previously targeted for assimilation could be passed over; while moving to engage the dire threat to the Borg presented by Species , a group of Borg ships encountered Voyager , but, while one ship did pause momentarily to scan the Federation vessel, the Borg ship and its companion ships quickly moved on without attempting to attack or assimilate the interloper in their space. Representatives of the Collective: Locutus with the Borg Queen. On the rare occasions that the Borg were willing to open a dialogue with individuals, they chose a single drone to speak for the Collective.
Jean-Luc Picard was assimilated and given the name Locutus in the misguided assumption that such a representative would lower the Federation's resistance to assimilation. When Kathryn Janeway successfully negotiated a truce with the Borg and refused to discuss the terms via a neuro-transceiver , the Collective agreed to communicate via Seven of Nine.
The Borg Queen also spoke for the Collective, acting not as a mere liaison but as a physical manifestation of the hive mind. The exact nature of her role is unclear. The Borg possessed a near-reverence for particle , which they considered to be an expression of perfection.
The Collective's fascination with assimilating this molecule has been compared to a religion. The Borg had a tendency to "scoop" all machine elements from a planet, leaving great rips in the surface where remaining sections of the road system suggested a city once was. The Borg were known to retrieve their damaged technology, including nonfunctional Borg cubes. However, when a cube underwent submatrix collapse , the collective would immediately sever its link to the afflicted population, considering it dead.
Borg technology was a combination of technologies assimilated from other cultures and technology developed within the Collective in order to overcome obstacles to its goals. By applying the unique skills of each drone to a task, the hive mind could engineer new technologies and solutions at a pace that would astound an individual. The Borg were usually exceedingly quick to adapt; their shields would often nullify nearly any energy weapon, and their weapons would usually penetrate nearly any shield or defense, within minutes.
Borg vessels were highly decentralized, with no distinct bridge , living quarters, or engineering section. Each ship was collectively operated by its complement of drones, under the general direction of the hive mind.
Owing to the Collective's disregard for aesthetic considerations, the architecture of Borg ships took the form of basic shapes such as cubes and spheres and they were made from tritanium alloy. Borg ships were capable of regenerating from damage. Each Borg spacecraft was equipped with a vinculum to interconnect its crew, which was in turn connected to a central plexus that linked the ship to the Collective.
VOY : " Infinite Regress ", " Unimatrix Zero " In addition to warp drive , vessels were fitted with transwarp coils that could achieve even greater speed by opening transwarp conduits. USS Voyager encountered several damaged Borg vessels, notably including the cube carrying Icheb , Mezoti , Azan , and Rebi , and a sphere carrying a transwarp coil, which Voyager stole. Borg structures were located in deep space, in planetary systems, or on planets themselves. Each planet the Borg modified showed a typical climate and assimilated infrastructure adapted from the previous inhabitants.
Buildings were simple shapes, similar to the geometrical ships, and rather than being single structures they were annexed together and added to when needed. By joining new structures to existing ones, they would form a uniformed complex. These buildings were gargantuan in size, with structures that could house Borg spheres docked inside.
VOY : " Dark Frontier ". The Borg also constructed structures that had special functions, like the transwarp hub. There were six known hub locations in the galaxy that allowed Borg vessels to deploy rapidly to almost everywhere in the galaxy.
These transwarp hubs had many portal opening structures on them, and inside their corridors were interspatial manifolds which supported the transwarp conduits. Several of these manifolds that led to the Alpha quadrant were destroyed by Voyager via transphasic torpedos and collapse of the conduit itself on the vessel's return to the Alpha Quadrant. The conceptual genesis of the Borg, intended to replace the Ferengi as Star Trek: The Next Generation ' s main villains in its second season, was as a race of insectoids , a concept that would ultimately require modification due to budgetary constraints.
As Maurice Hurley explained in the March issue of Starlog , p. The Borg are a variation of an insect mentality. They don't care. They have no mercy, no feelings toward you.
