The Borg Collective

The Borg are a powerful race of cyborgs originating from the Delta Quadrant where they were responsible for the annihilation of countless races. The Borg strive for perfection and they seek to attain their goals by assimilating other races into their own by force. Borg share a hive mind facilitated by a subspace communication network that connects all Borg eliminating the concept of self and individuality. Once assimilated, the knowledge and technology of a race is adapted into the Borg Collective, and individuals are transformed into Borg drones to accomplish various tasks.

The Borg were first encountered by the Federation in 2365, when a Q-entity transported the U.S.S. Enterprise to system J-25, deep in the Delta Quadrant. The Federation was then able to prepare for a Borg invasion which came earlier than expected, in 2366, when a Borg Cube was detected heading toward Earth. After the Battle of Wolf 359, in which 39 ships and 11,000 lives were lost in an attempt to halt the advance of the Cube, the Borg were eventually stopped by implanting a destructive computer code into their Collective.

The Borg then again attempted an assimilation of Earth in 2373 and though they were defeated, a Borg Sphere managed to enter a temporal vortex and travel back in time in an attempt to sabotage Earth's first warp flight in 2063. This incursion was stopped by the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew, who managed to destroy the Borg Queen. The Borg were dealt a crippling blow in 2378, when the actions of the U.S.S. Voyager destroyed a Borg transwarp hub, severely hindering their ability to travel through space.
