Origin
The origin of the Borg is vague. What is known is by hearsay, brief contacts with Borg survivors, and even the Borg itself.
The Borg originated in the Delta Quadrant. ( Star Trek: Commencement Contact ; VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Dragon'south Teeth") According to the Borg Queen, the species known as the Borg started out as normal plain lifeforms; ( Star Trek: First Contact ) they had been developing for thousands of centuries earlier the 24th century, and over the many years, they evolved into a mixture of organic and artificial life with cybernetic enhancements. ( Star Trek: Kickoff Contact ; TNG: "Q Who")
By 1484, the Borg had alloyed only a handful of star systems of the Quadrant and they had many encounters with the Vaadwaur (VOY: "Dragon's Teeth") but by 2373, the Borg had assimilated thousands of systems. ( Star Trek: First Contact ; VOY: "Unity", "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II") Their territory was intersected past a narrow corridor of space filled with gravimetric distortions, somewhen nicknamed the "Northwest Passage" past the crew of the Federation starship USS Voyager during the Borg's conflict with Species 8472. (VOY: "Scorpion") The farthest border of the Borg realm within the Delta Quadrant seemed to be the Nekrit Surface area. (VOY: "Off-white Trade", "Unity", "Afar Origin")
The Collective had their own territory and ventured out, across information technology, on exploration missions. (TNG: "Q Who"; VOY: "Dragon's Teeth", "Unity") At one fourth dimension, Voyager was thrown ix,500 lite years, beyond Borg territory and 10 years closer to World. (VOY: "The Gift") Over the next four years, the starship all the same encountered Borg vessels. (VOY: "Collective", "Child's Play", "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II", "Endgame") Since the Borg had such extensive transwarp networks throughout the Galaxy Galaxy, they could effectively project their presence anywhere in a insufficiently short amount of time. (TNG: "Descent", "Descent, Part II"; VOY: "Dark Frontier", "Inside Man", "Endgame") While the Borg did have a large expanse of their own territory, information technology was finite, and any forays elsewhere were simply invasions of other territories. (TNG: "Q Who", "The Best of Both Worlds"; Star Trek Generations ; DS9: "Emissary"; VOY: "Blood Fever", "Hope and Fear", "The Raven")
Within the Delta Quadrant, the Borg had a vast structure called the Unicomplex. This construction was made up of thousands of sub-structures and housed many of their vessels. It was believed the Unicomplex was the Borg headquarters. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
When the Borg started using transwarp hubs, (VOY: "Endgame") they could appear anywhere in the galaxy, giving them the ability to digest species with little or no warning at all and within very short periods of time. Their vessels were equipped with especially designed conduits to withstand the temporal stresses when traveling through transwarp conduits. Borg starships had the ability to travel through time. They one time tried to digest a species past traveling dorsum in time. (VOY: "Inside Human being"; Star Expedition: First Contact )
In an alternate time to come, Harry Kim discovered a Borg temporal transponder, which could allow Borg to communicate with themselves betwixt different periods of time, suggesting the Borg drones were prepared for the use of time travel, even though merely ane such event was seen on screen.
Temporal incursions
2024 incursion
In 2024, a Borg Queen from 2401 of an alternate timeline arrived aboard the CSS La Sirena, having helped the crew travel back in fourth dimension in order to correct history. (PIC: "Absorption")
This Queen eventually began sharing a body with Dr. Agnes Jurati and sought to take the La Sirena to the Delta Quadrant and begin the Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant 4 centuries early on. Jurati eventually convinced the Queen that the meliorate solution was to take the transport and create a new, better Borg Commonage made out of mercy and option. After reassimilating Seven of Nine in order to save her life, the merged Borg Queen and Jurati departed in the La Sirena for the Delta Quadrant. (PIC: "Mercy")
First Contact incursion
Although the Borg were unremarkably non active in the Alpha Quadrant in 2063, a Borg sphere traveled dorsum in time from 2373 to the World of that year. The craft's occupants had the sole purpose of preventing First Contact between Humans and Vulcans, thereby helping the Borg to assimilate the Human species. The sphere attempted to achieve their outcome by firing on Zefram Cochrane's launch base in Montana where he was developing the Phoenix, the spaceship that historically performed the get-go warp-powered flight, subsequently bringing Globe to the attention of a passing Vulcan vessel. ( Star Trek: First Contact )
A Federation starship as well from 2373, the USS Enterprise-Eastward, thwarted the Borg endeavour by destroying the Borg sphere as it was firing against Cochrane, and a section of its broken hull landed in Earth's Northward Pole. ( Star Trek: Starting time Contact ; ENT: "Regeneration") But at some point earlier, some Borg drones (including the Borg Queen) transported aboard the Enterprise and began to assimilate the ship and many crewmembers. They used the Enterprise as their base of operations in an effort to continue their objective to alter history and also attempted to build an interplexing beacon on the Enterprise deflector dish to contact the Collective of the 21st century. Finally, they tried to forestall First Contact by firing against the Phoenix during its beginning flying, but were prevented and defeated by Captain Picard and Data. The Queen and all the remaining drones perished aboard the Enterprise; their organic components were dissolved by very corrosive plasma coolant and the Queen'due south bogus spinal string was cleaved to ensure that she was expressionless. ( Star Expedition: Get-go Contact )
The next year, Zefram Cochrane, during his commencement address at Princeton, revealed his unusual experience. He mentioned cybernetic creatures from the future, whose ultimate goal was to enslave the Human being race, who tried to stop his starting time warp flying, if it weren't for a group of Humans also from the time to come. No i seriously believed Cochrane, well known for his imaginative stories while intoxicated, and he recanted his claim a few years subsequently; although a record of his voice communication still remained. (ENT: "Regeneration")
22nd century
By 2145, and later assimilating 13 species, they learned of the being of the Omega molecule which they referred to as Particle 010. The Borg believed the Omega to exist in a flawless state and regarded it with near-reverence and all Borg were ordered to assimilate it at any price. They managed to synthesize a relatively stable single molecule of Omega, which resulted to the destruction of 29 Borg vessels and 600,000 drones. They designed a harmonic resonance bedroom that could theoretically stabilize the molecule, but never had enough Boronite to synthesize more Omega molecules. (VOY: "The Omega Directive")
In 2153, the remains of the Borg sphere that was destroyed in 2063 were discovered in Earth's Arctic Circle. The A-6 excavation squad discovered the Arctic droppings field where much of the Borg sphere remained, severely damaged and buried nether a glacier. After traveling to the wreckage, the team besides found two frozen drones in the ice, and allowed them to regenerate. The Borg drones alloyed the entire team of scientists and commandeered their transport Chill One, continually enhancing its warp drive and installing a weapons system.
3 days later, the Borg left Earth. Although they managed to assimilate several Tarkaleans, who tried to do the same to Denobulan physician Phlox, the crew of the Starfleet transport Enterprise NX-01, which included Phlox, was successful in preventing the Borg drones, of which at that place were more due to the original drones' absorption of the Tarkaleans, from reaching their homeworld and resuming their attempt to enslave Humanity. Enterprise was responsible for the destruction of the alloyed arctic transport and every Borg drone aboard the craft.
However, the ship's captain, Jonathan Archer, having adamant that the cybernetic aliens had probably been the same as in Zefram Cochrane'south Princeton commencement address, also learned that the Borg had sent a subspace message before their destruction that independent spatial coordinates pinpointing World's location. Because Phlox had momentarily been a part of the Borg's hive mind, he had heard the bulletin. However, the bespeak would take two hundred years to reach its destination, deep in the Delta Quadrant, alerting the Borg there.
During this see, no member of Starfleet learned the name of the Borg. (ENT: "Regeneration")
23rd century
In the mid-23rd century, the Borg assimilated the homeworld of the El-Aurians. Only a handful of survivors managed to escape and tried to notice refuge on other worlds. (TNG: "Q Who"; Star Trek Generations )
In 2293, ii starships, the SS Lakul and SS Robert Pull a fast one on, were carrying El-Aurian refugees to Earth when they became caught in an energy ribbon that caused the destruction of both ships. ( Star Trek Generations ) However, 47 El-Aurians from the Lakul – including Guinan, who later on served as Ten Forward'southward bartender aboard the USS Enterprise-D – were saved when they were beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-B by Montgomery Scott and took with them the story of their species' dealings with the Borg. ( Star Trek Generations ; TNG: "The Child", "Q Who")
Starfleet had no record of the name "Borg" and no connexion was made between all these events, the cybernetic beings found 140 years before, and those who had attacked the El-Aurians. Therefore, it was not until the time the Lakul survivors were retrieved that Starfleet beginning became officially aware of the Borg and opened a file on them on stardate 9521.half dozen. (ENT: "Regeneration"; VOY: "Scorpion")
The stardate was mentioned in a reckoner graphic seen in "Scorpion". 9521.six is exactly the same stardate mentioned by Captain Sulu in his captain's log in the beginning of Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered State taking identify in 2293 shortly before the events of Star Expedition Generations .
24th century
2347-2350
During the years 2347 through 2350, the Borg were studied by Human exobiologists Magnus Hansen and his wife Erin. Together with their girl Annika, they ventured out in the USS Raven to seek the Borg. At this point, Starfleet did not believe the Borg were real and instead dismissed them as "rumors and sensor ghosts".
On stardate 32623.v, a Borg cube exiting a transwarp conduit encountered the Raven, which at this point had changed its course without informing Starfleet. The Raven was across the Romulan Neutral Zone and disobeyed a direct order to return. At two,000 kilometers, the cube scanned the Raven and institute it no threat, unwittingly proving Magnus' theory that the Borg would non set on as long they were no threat or a target for assimilation. The Borg vessel turned away and was followed past the Raven at a altitude of v million kilometers, matching the cube's heading and speed.
After three months, on stardate 32629.4, the Borg cube opened a transwarp conduit and traveled to the Delta Quadrant, the Raven following in its wake. Unknown to the Borg, the Hansens developed new technologies to keep hidden from Borg sensors, such as multi-adaptive shielding to hide the Raven and a personal bio-dampener so someone could visit a Borg vessel without being detected. Without the Borg'south noesis, the Raven was now very close to the cube while Magnus Hansen studied them. He witnessed how two drones from another sub-unit de-activated a drone who was damaged beyond repair when a plasma conduit exploded, removing its usable components.
Some time later, the Borg cube linked with another vessel and received over fifty k new drones. The Hansens stealthily beamed over newly arrived drones to identify them. A tactical drone, a onetime Ktarian male, was beamed over to the Raven while he was regenerating in his apse. Because its previous designation was 3 of Five Third Adjunct of Unimatrix One, this drone was tagged with a subdermal probe so he could be traced by the Hansens. Magnus believed this drone worked for the Borg Queen and searched its cranial transceiver logs for evidence.
One time Magnus Hansen even stayed overnight inside the cubes maturation sleeping room when the Raven'south transporters failed.
In 2350, the Borg detected the Raven and perceived her as a threat when it was visible on their sensors for xiii.two seconds. This occurred because the Raven was striking by a subspace particle tempest which knocked out their multi-adaptive shields. The Borg cube required three hours to track downward the Raven considering Magnus masked their warp trail. The cube exited a transwarp conduit merely 3.2 light years from the Raven and intercepted information technology in less than an hour.
The Borg assimilated the Hansens. From then on, Annika Hansen was known every bit Seven of Nine, and was a Borg drone until she was rescued in 2374 by USS Voyager. In 2375, father and daughter met once more, although Magnus was withal a drone serving in Unimatrix 01. It is unknown what happened to the drone formerly known every bit Erin Hansen. The USS Raven was partially alloyed and crashed on a remote moon in B'omar space. (VOY: "Dark Frontier", "The Raven")
2362
In 2362, the Borg assimilated the crew of the USS Tombaugh, which was under the command of Captain Blackwood. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
2364
In 2364, the Borg were believed to be responsible for the destruction of several Romulan and Federation outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone in sectors thirty and 31. This became axiomatic when the Enterprise-D encountered a similar outpost with an almost identical signature a year later. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")
2365
In 2365, a Borg cube traveling near System J-25, vii grand light years away from Federation space, detected a starship. The 6th planet in that system, a Grade-M, seemed to have the same characteristics as some Federation and Romulan outposts near the Neutral Zone. Their cities were removed from the planet'due south surface. When the Borg cube arrived, it scanned the unknown vessel.
The strange vessel hailed the Borg, which went unanswered. The Borg transported a drone to the engineering section of the unknown starship, right through the vessel's shields. The drone either did non notice or ignored the lifeforms present and walked towards a com panel. Before he could reach information technology, a phaser shot knocked him downwardly. Moments after another drone materialized and continued towards the console. Once more he was fired upon simply this time his personal shield negated the shot. Afterward the drone extracted information from the com panel, information technology reached over to the fallen drone and removed some components, subsequently which both drones dematerialized.
After the Borg analyzed the information, they knew with whom they were dealing, the Federation starship USS Enterprise-D under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. They also ended that the Enterprise-D's defensive capabilities were insufficient. The Borg hailed the Enterprise and told them to not defend themselves as they would be punished for it, interrupting Picard'southward greeting, and they locked a tractor beam onto the ship. The beam held the starship in place and drained their defensive shields.
The Borg cube was fired upon past the Enterprise when it tried to escape, but to no avail. Afterwards eighteen seconds, their shields were gone and the Borg used a cutting beam to remove a function of the transport, saucer sections 27, 28, and 29 on decks iv, 5, and 6. Again the cube was fired upon past the Enterprise. This fourth dimension, the Borg released the tractor beam; they had sustained twenty percent damage.
An away team from the Enterprise boarded their vessel and watched how a drone performed some tasks. As the away team scouted the send, they found a Borg maturation chamber and also noticed that the Borg vessel was repairing itself. Immediately, the away team was beamed back to the Enterprise.
When the Borg discovered the Enterprise running, they gave chase. Although the Enterprise was reaching warp nine, the Borg easily matched their speed and even gained on them. Photon torpedoes fired by the Enterprise detonated harmlessly, causing no damage to the cube.
The Borg fired weapons at the Enterprise designed to bleed their shields and was still closing in, even though the Enterprise seemed to have reached her maximum speed. After a second shot, the Enterprise again fired photon torpedoes at the Borg, but without whatever effect. Afterward the Borg fired their third shot, the shields of the Enterprise were gone and they were able to knock the transport out of warp. Subsequently the Enterprise lost warp speed, the Borg immediately re-established their tractor beam, but without any warning the Enterprise broke free and sped abroad from the Borg.
Unknown to the Borg, the entity known equally Q had returned the Enterprise to its original position. He was the one who brought the ship in contact with the Borg in the first place. (TNG: "Q Who")
2366
In 2366, the Borg sent a cube to the Alpha Quadrant on a mission to digest Earth.
Within the Blastoff Quadrant, the Borg outset assimilated the 9 hundred inhabitants of the Federation colony New Providence. Assay of the soil revealed the aforementioned magnetic-resonance signature the Borg left on the hull of the Enterprise-D the year before. This proved the Borg were not just responsible for the destruction of the New Providence colony, only likewise the Federation and Romulan outposts in 2364.
The Borg cube continued its journey and encountered the USS Lalo while on a freight run to Lookout Minor 4. Although the Lalo managed to transport a distress call to starbase 157, they were assimilated as well.
2 hours afterward the Borg cube noticed the USS Enterprise-D and contradistinct its course to intercept, with a speed of warp 9.three. When it reached the Starfleet vessel, the cube dropped out of warp and hailed Captain Jean-Luc Picard personally. The Borg informed him to lower the shields and to transport to the Borg vessel. If Picard failed to comply, the Enterprise would be destroyed. After Picard defendant the Borg of assailment confronting the Federation, the Borg told him that the Enterprise was no match for the Borg cube.
The Borg tried to lock a tractor axle on the Enterprise merely failed. Within a few moments the Borg adapted to the modulating shields of the Enterprise and locked the tractor beam, draining the ship's shields. Although the Enterprise fired torpedoes and its phaser banks against them, the tractor beam remained in identify. Then the Borg began to cut into the Enterprise hull, causing a decompression in applied science, only the Enterprise managed to pause free when Lt. Commander Data, as suggested by Cmdr. Shelby, randomly fluctuated the phaser resonance frequencies while firing upon the Borg vessel. The Borg cube immediately started pursuing the fleeing Enterprise.
When the Enterprise hid within the Paulson Nebula, the Borg had trouble locating them and decided to wait. To force the Enterprise out of the nebula, the Borg launched magnetometric guided charges into it. The cube again locked its tractor beam onto the Enterprise as information technology tried to flee the nebula. A drone was beamed to the Enterprise bridge and tried to reach Picard, but was shot down by Chief of Security Worf. 2 more than drones were sent, and ane of them captured Picard as the other one threw the charging First Officer Riker against a bulkhead. Later this skirmish, the drones transported back to the cube with Picard.
So the Borg cube disengaged its tractor axle and left the Enterprise behind, resuming its class for sector 001.
In the Borg cube, Picard was told that he would serve to innovate the Borg to Federation civilisation. Despite his arguments, Picard was told that force, self-determination, even decease, were irrelevant. Resistance was futile; Picard was chosen to speak for the Borg. Some fourth dimension later, the Borg detected an away team inside the Borg cube. They were trying to locate Picard and to sabotage the cube, simply the Borg sent drones later them. While drones were pursuing the away team, they ran into their captain, who had been assimilated, and were forced to abscond. The Borg cube was forced out of warp past the away team's sabotage, just the Borg restored their warp capability within a short flow of fourth dimension.
Then the Enterprise was hailed by the Borg. Their former captain introduced himself as Locutus of Borg and told them to give up. The Enterprise'southward navigational deflector was used every bit a weapon and fired at the cube for several seconds, to no issue. Locutus coldly stated that his resistance was hopeless. The knowledge Picard possessed was part of the Borg Commonage. Afterward this, the Borg resumed their course towards World.
2367
The Borg cube was met and engaged past Starfleet at Wolf 359 past forty starships. The Battle of Wolf 359 was a disaster for the Federation; all but one ship was destroyed with the loss of 11 chiliad lives, and the Borg vessel immediately returned to its previous heading towards Globe.
While en route, the Borg were contacted by Riker, at present captain of the Enterprise-D, who offered to stop the hostilities and to set for absorption. Despite that the Borg had Picard, they had not foreseen that this was a ruse and that Picard'south noesis had been used against them. When the Enterprise engaged the cube the Borg did not detect the shuttle which was endmost in on them. When the Borg noticed that Worf and Information transported to the cube, they were too tardily to preclude the kidnapping of Locutus. Although the Borg lost Locutus, they once again resumed their course for Earth.
Locutus was brought to the Enterprise, where Data investigated how he was connected to the Borg. There, Information found an opportunity to end the Borg.
The Borg dropped out of warp when they reached Sector 001. They were tracked by Jupiter Outpost 92 and attacked by ships launched from Mars, but the Borg vessel continued its manner towards Earth.
The Borg cube was stopped when it was ordered to enter its regeneration cycle. This was done by Data, who connected himself to Locutus and ordered the regeneration control, effectively putting all the drones to slumber. The command also started a self-destruct mechanism which destroyed the cube.
The Borg not only lost their vessel, but also Locutus when his link with the hive mind was severed when the cube exploded. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds", "The All-time of Both Worlds, Part II"; DS9: "Emissary")
The Borg attacked the Brunali homeworld. (VOY: "Kid's Play")
2368
In 2368, a Borg scout send crashed in the Argolis Cluster with simply one surviving drone, Third of 5, although critically injured.
The drone was plant past the USS Enterprise-D who gave it medical attention after placing it within a subspace dampening field to preclude any contact with the Borg hive mind.
Picard knew the Borg would investigate the crash and wanted to have advantage of the situation past implanting a hostile program into the drone. When it was re-integrated inside the Borg Collective, the programme would destroy the Borg from the inside, like a virus. However, this plan was abased nether pressure of Doctor Beverly Crusher and Geordi La Forge, who had doubts. Instead, the drone was immune to grow every bit an private, since it no longer was a part of the Borg Collective. It even had a proper name, Hugh.
Eventually Hugh was returned to the crash site with his individuality intact. Later on he was rescued past a Borg vessel, the former drone was re-integrated within the Collective, but the Borg could non cope with his individuality. As a result, the Borg vessel fell into a state of disarray, and drifted through infinite until information technology was plant by Lore, Data's brother. (TNG: "I Borg", "Descent")
Later that twelvemonth, in the Delta Quadrant, a Borg vessel crashed and its survivors, the drones with the designations Two of Nine, Three of Nine, Four of Nine, and Seven of Nine regained their individuality. Because Seven of Nine had been alloyed at a very immature age, she could not cope with her individuality. So, she decided to create a small commonage between the 4 of them when the other drones refused to wait their rescue and to rejoin the Collective. This activeness created a collective within a commonage. (VOY: "Survival Instinct")
Also in the Delta Quadrant, a Borg cube traveling through the Nekrit Surface area was hit by an electrokinetic storm, killing virtually drones on board. eighty,000 surviving drones lost their connection with the hive mind, causing the reappearance of their own identities. These survivors transported themselves to a nearby form-K planet. Because they had found their individuality again, they likewise regained the hatred towards other species they had before they were alloyed into the Borg Collective. This resulted in conflicts betwixt the different species. However, a small group of roughly 800 survivors tried to live in coexistence, calling themselves the Cooperative. (VOY: "Unity")
2369
Later the Battle of Wolf 359, the Borg had sent in more expeditions to Federation infinite. By 2369, these expeditions had resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Federation citizens. (TNG: "I Borg", "Descent", "Descent, Office II")
A group of Borg had been disconnected from the Collective after integrating Hugh's sense of individuality into the hive. These were discovered by the Soong-type android Lore and styled himself their leader, gave them individual names, and began barbarous experiments on them, attempting to replace their organic brains with positronic components. These Borg became more trigger-happy – murdering their victims instead of assimilating them – and directed his followers to launch attacks on targets in Federation space. The Enterprise was lured to them and Lore managed to kidnap Data and manipulate him. The captured crew of the Enterprise helped the rogue Borg grouping to overthrow Lore. (TNG: "Descent", "Descent, Part Two")
2370
The Borg attacked the Brunali homeworld for the second fourth dimension. (VOY: "Child'southward Play")
2371
In 2371, the Borg assimilated Species 6339, a humanoid warp-capable species located in the Delta Quadrant, grid 124, octant 22 theta. Eleven billion individuals were alloyed, and only a handful managed to escape. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
2373
In 2373 on stardate 50614.ii Commander Chakotay of the starship Voyager answered a distress phone call from the ex-Borg known as the Cooperative.
Chakotay was injured and Ensign Kaplan was killed after they landed the shuttle. Chakotay was cared for past Riley Frazier, a one-time drone and Starfleet officer, who used the Borg link to heal Chakotay's wounds. The Cooperative forced Chakotay to re-establish the neural link, via their residual link by which the Cooperative healed him, by starting the neuro electric generator on board the heavily damaged Borg cube for a few minutes. (VOY: "Unity")
On stardate 50893.5 a unmarried Borg cube was sent to assimilate Earth. This was the Borg's second effort, and on lath was a Borg Queen. During this attempt the Borg tried to alter Earth'south past past traveling to the yr 2063 and preventing Showtime Contact with the Vulcans. The skirmish that followed with Starfleet became known every bit the Boxing of Sector 001.
Although the cube was destroyed by Starfleet, a Borg sphere contained within reached Earth and successfully traveled to 2063. Following the destruction of the sphere by the Enterprise, a contingent of drones (including the Queen) attempted to hijack the Enterprise and began assimilating the ship and crew, merely their attempts were thwarted. ( Star Trek: Beginning Contact )
On stardate 50984.3 the Borg faced their destruction after they invaded Species 8472'south fluidic space with intent to assimilate this species. Unfortunately – for the Borg – Species 8472 Dna encoding was so dumbo that nanoprobes could not assimilate their cells. Species 8472 responded with an all out set on on the Borg. They used the "Northwest Passage" in Borg space as their entry signal, via a quantum singularity, and destroyed any Borg vessel they could find.
The Borg had lost millions of drones and thousand of worlds when, later on assimilating a Starfleet probe in the Delta Quadrant, fifteen of their vessels encountered USS Voyager. One of the Borg cubes scanned Voyager with a polaron beam and when finished joined the other vessels en route to Species 8472.
In the following battle all 15 Borg ships were destroyed. Unknown to the Borg at the fourth dimension, Voyager had found those ships and 1 of the vessels who destroyed them, a Species 8472 bio-ship. On one Borg cube, Species 8472 had stacked Borg remains on each other, equally if to scare them off. As far as Species 8472 was concerned, "the weak will perish".
In five months the Borg were attacked more than a dozen times and lost every single time.
A few days after a Borg cube encountered USS Voyager and locked a tractor axle on her and informed the crew that they would exist assimilated. Instead, the Borg were offered an alliance. The Borg Collective learned that Voyager had found a way to assail Species 8472 on a microscopic level. The Medico had discovered a way when he was treating Harry Kim, who was infected by Species 8472 cells. In turn for free passage of Voyager through their space, the Borg would proceeds their cognition.
Although at first the Borg would not negotiate with Voyager they became interested when they received a sample of Voyager's technique to attack Species 8472. They beamed Helm Janeway on board their vessel and asked her what she wanted. At offset the Borg refused Janeway'southward program to requite them the technology later on Voyager cleared Borg space and made clear that it was essential for their and her survival. When Janeway told them there was no alternative other than her proposal, the Commonage agreed. If the Borg did endeavor to assimilate Voyager, The Md would destroy the data on how to attack Species 8472. The Borg would need to work together to develop a weapon while escorting Voyager through their space.
At this time the cube came under attack from Species 8472, who were attacking the nearby planet. The cube managed to escape and took Voyager with it, still attached to the cube via a tractor beam. The Borg/Species 8472 disharmonize extended to the year 2374.
2374
Ii Borg drones escorted Janeway and Tuvok. Janeway asked them to join her at grid 92 of sub-junction 12, virtually the center of the Borg cube, where they would work on the weapon. For efficiency, the Borg wanted to link Janeway and Tuvok with the Borg Collective, as they establish verbal communication primitive and inefficient, via a neural transceiver. Although Janeway told them that they worked better via verbal communication and every bit individuals, non linked into the Hive listen, the Borg were not interested. Simply when Janeway suggested that they choose a single Borg to speak for them similar Locutus, and threatened them that the bargain would exist void otherwise, did the Borg heed. The Borg cull Seven of Nine to speak for them.
The Borg concurred with Janeway'due south proffer for a large scale weapon but dismissed using photon torpedoes. Instead the Borg devised a multi-kinetic neutronic mine, a weapon of mass destruction. The Borg heard Janeway'due south objections, that information technology would have too long to fabricate the necessary nanoprobes and by that time the Borg would have lost the war, among other things. The Borg agreed based on their present situation.
While studying Voyager'south information on the bio-ship, the Borg ship was hailed by Commander Chakotay and they were informed that Species 8472 seemed to exist in telepathic contact with Kes. Which might propose that they already would know well-nigh the plans to attack them. Upon hearing this the Borg altered form. Although this would postpone an set on the Borg asked Janeway for the modified nanoprobes so they could start constructing a prototype weapon. Janeway refused, she commencement wanted to take left Borg space, and did not budge fifty-fifty when the Borg threatened to send v hundred drones to Voyager. Voyager'south crew would fight to the death if this would happen and the Borg would lose the nanoprobes.
The Borg dropped their demand and told Janeway and Tuvok to develop a launching system. Moments afterward Voyager and the Borg cube were attacked by a single bio-ship. To prevent the destruction of Voyager and their nanoprobes the Borg cube positioned itself betwixt Voyager and the bio-transport. After the start hitting the cube crashed deliberately into the bio-ship, destroying both of them. Before their devastation the Borg Commonage beamed Seven of Nine, together with some drones, Borg alcoves, Janeway and Tuvok to 1 of Voyager's cargo trophy.
The Borg explained, by means of Seven of Nine, that they destroyed their vessel to protect Voyager. Because of this the Borg wanted to modify their agreement with Voyager and demanded to be brought to the nearest Borg cube some xl light years abroad. Unknown to the Borg Commander Chakotay, who was now in control because Helm Janeway was severely wounded when the cube was hit, was altering their agreement.
The drone Seven of Ix was brought to the captain's ready room. Here the Borg learned that the understanding was changed and they would be transferred to a planet or moon with the modified nanoprobes. When the Borg optioned to assimilate Voyager, Commander Chakotay told them if a unmarried drone would leave the cargo bay he would decompress that entire deck. A drone floating in space would not pose a threat. The Borg told him that Humans were erratic, disorganized, every individual entitled to their own pocket-size opinion, every decision debated. They lacked harmony, cohesion, greatness. This would exist their undoing. The Borg suspected something like this might happen before they entered Janeway's agreement.
Dorsum in the cargo bay 7 of 9 was ordered to take control of Voyager and to enter the realm of Species 8472 when Matrix 010, Filigree 19 was attacked by bio-ships. Eight planets were destroyed, 312 Borg vessels disabled and 4,000,621 drones were killed. The Borg took control of the navigational deflector and created a singularity which pulled Voyager into the realm of Species 8472. Although the cargo bay was decompressed by Chakotay the drone Seven of 9 survived. She informed Chakotay of their situation and to gear up for combat with bio-ships. At that time Chakotay realized that the Borg started the war and non Species 8472. In their search for perfection the Borg made a grave tactical error.
When Seven of 9 met Captain Janeway, The Md had healed her wounds, on the bridge. She was told Voyager would fight Species 8472 on their ain territory. She would work together with Tuvok on the modified nanoprobes and to adapt Voyager's weapons and defensive systems. Voyager was attacked past four bio-ships and fired their nanoprobe enhanced photon torpedoes, destroying all four ships. Afterward Seven of Nine brought Voyager back into the Delta Quadrant where they again were attacked by bio-ships. When Voyager's high yield warhead exploded thirteen bio-ships were destroyed and the other ships fled. This forced all remaining bio-ships in the Delta Quadrant to render to fluidic space.
After Seven of Nine regained full contact with the Borg Commonage they broke their alliance with Voyager. The Borg had prevailed and Voyager and its crew would be assimilated. Seven of Nine took over helm command via her absorption tubules. Unknown to the Borg Commander Chakotay made a link with Vii of 9 via a neural transceiver to distract her, via images of her past and reminding her of her Humanity. This gave Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres the opportunity to create a power surge which knocked the drone unconscious and permanently severed her link with the hive listen.
This ended the Borg/Species 8472 war and left the drone Seven of Nine stranded aboard USS Voyager. (VOY: "Scorpion")
In mid 2374, the Borg assimilated Species 116, afterwards they had managed to elude the Borg for several centuries. (VOY: "Promise and Fright")
23 outposts were alloyed in a thing of hours afterwards which hundreds of Borg vessels attacked and assimilated the Species 116 homeworld. About ten or twenty thou were able to escape. Arturis was one of them. He blamed Captain Janeway for the assimilation of his earth because the alliance between Voyager and the Borg prevented the Borg'southward destruction, and he tried to get Voyager alloyed. (VOY: "Hope and Fear")
2375
In 2375, the Borg were contacted by a 29th century Borg drone. The existence of this drone was the event of a transporter accident where 7 of 9'southward nanoprobes interacted with the mobile emitter of The Md. Afterward, Ensign Mulchaey'south Dna was used to create its Human being grade. It would be the offset time a Borg drone was reproduced instead of alloyed. The drone's designation was One, and its curiosity caused it to seek contact with the Borg Collective.
The Borg detected a proximity indicate in Unimatrix 325, Grid 006 (somewhere in the Delta Quadrant) and a Borg sphere contradistinct its course accordingly. Via a transwarp conduit, it could reach the coordinates within approximately three hours.
The Borg made contact with Voyager. Later a scan they used a tractor beam to hold Voyager and hailed them, informing them of their oncoming assimilation. Suddenly the tractor axle disengaged considering Voyager's shields were re-modulated. A moment later they were fired upon only the Borg were able to invert Voyager's phaser beam with a feedback pulse, taking out their warp drive.
Ane transported himself into the Sphere and told the Commonage to cease the assail on Voyager. The Borg told him he would exist assimilated and that resistance was futile. When One tried to attain a Borg alcove, drones tried to stop him, just they failed. The Sphere's navigational controls were taken over by One and he directed the vessel to a nearby proto-nebula. Although the Commonage warned 1 to stop and finish his interface with the Borg Collective, he steered the Sphere into the nebula, causing the Borg vessel to implode.
One survived the devastation. Although severely wounded, he would not allow treatment because he felt that as long he was alive, the Borg Collective would try to assimilate him. (VOY: "Drone")
On stardate 52356.two a Borg cube was destroyed in the Delta Quadrant. Its debris field was near 120 kilometers wide. This happened after they assimilated a Species 6339 vessel. The vinculum of the cube was infected by a constructed pathogenic virus which was carried by members of this species. Unknown to the Borg, this virus was specifically designed to attack them.
Although unremarkably the Borg would investigate a destroyed Borg vessel, it is unknown if they did so with this one. Futurity events propose Species 6339 were not successful in re-introducing the virus into the Borg Collective. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
Between stardates 52542.3 and 52619.2 a Borg probe in the Delta Quadrant detected the Intrepid-class Voyager in Unimatrix 424, Grid 116. The Borg informed them of their imminent absorption and although Voyager could match their firepower, the Borg attacked. During this skirmish the Borg's principal shield matrix went off line and a photon torpedo was beamed on board. Although a drone tried to disarm it, the torpedo detonated. Because the detonation took identify near their power matrix, it caused a chain reaction which destroyed the entire transport, killing everyone on board. Unknown to the Borg, Voyager salvaged viii kilotons of debris in search for components they could use. Although Voyager's crew found a transwarp coil, it was of no apply to them because it was damaged beyond repair. They did find data nodes, one of them containing tactical information and Borg ship movements. At this bespeak, they devised a plan to steal a transwarp ringlet from the Borg.
Eight light years abroad, a heavily-damaged Borg sentinel ship, traveling at warp ii, was regenerating after it was hit by an ion storm. This had damaged a great deal of the ship and shields, weapons systems and transwarp drive were off line. Three days afterwards the Borg vessel was joined by Voyager, who had masked their warp signature to forestall detection by the Borg.
Although Voyager tried to hide, they were detected. The Borg contacted Seven of Nine via her neural transceiver and she was told the Borg knew about Voyager's plans to infiltrate the Borg sphere. They threatened to destroy Voyager if Seven did not render to the Borg Collective. The Borg found Seven unique and wanted her dorsum.
At 0600 hours, the sphere detected a vessel, a Federation shuttle, and tractored information technology into a docking port forth the central radius for assimilation. When they dropped their shields an away squad from Voyager beamed over to the Borg sphere. Unknown to the abroad team 7 of Nine was contacted while they were en road to the transwarp coil.
An explosion in one of the corridors brought the sphere defensive shield down and one of their transwarp coils was transported to Voyager. While the away team fled to their associates bespeak Seven of Nine remained behind. At the aforementioned fourth dimension the sphere charged its weapons and altered course for Voyager. Although Janeway tried to convince Vii to become back she had no choice other to leave her when a force field was erected between them.
When the away team left, the Borg sphere opened a transwarp conduit and traveled to the Unicomplex. There, Seven of Nine, escorted past two drones, was welcomed domicile past the Borg Queen.
The Queen explained to Vii that her escape from the Commonage was not actually an escape but that she was allowed to leave. In fact she was the only drone ever to leave the Collective. Her experiences on Voyager would add together to the Borg perfection and she was told to regenerate in an apse, to guild her thoughts. When Seven's regeneration bicycle ended the Borg had enhanced her visual cortex and added a neural processor adjunct, designed to increase her synaptic efficiency. Her memory was also assimilated by the Borg. The Borg did not desire another drone, but instead wanted the individual 7 of Nine for the sole purpose of assimilating Humanity. The Borg failed the first time and with the help of Seven of Nine's Human perspective they hoped to assimilate the Humans definitively.
The Borg forced Seven of Ix to assistance assimilate Species 10026, all 392,000 of them, just to remind her what information technology was to exist Borg. Upon arrival at their homeworld the Borg were attacked past them. Although the Borg had already assessed the forcefulness and weaknesses of species 10026 the Borg Queen was willing to destroy the send they were on simply to coerce Vii to come up with a solution. After the shield geometry was altered their ships were no longer a threat to the Borg. Because of 7'due south hesitation to monitor the assimilation procedure in the primary assimilation sleeping accommodation she was assigned to aid with repairs on the shield matrix.
While en route, 7 was injured, but two Borg drones healed her wounds. She even stopped someone who tried to avert assimilation. Afterward she managed to beam several members of species 10026 to a damaged vessel. Seven was told by the Queen that species 10026 was already enhancing the Borg perfection but she detected the refugees Seven beamed onto the send. The Queen used this moment to force 7 to abandon her Human sentiments, such as compassion and guilt, virtually the devastation of a species. To make clear that they were one. To Seven'southward surprise the Queen allow the vessel go. When Seven asked her if she idea compassion was irrelevant the Queen did not answer.
Unknown to the Borg, Voyager had devised a plan to rescue 7 of Nine.
Vii of Nine was given the task to program nanoprobes for a new style of absorption, via a biogenic weapon detonated in a planet's temper, which would release nanoprobe viruses causing a gradual assimilation of the target species. This weapon was meant for highly-resistant species. Because the species in question was Species 5618, Humanity, Seven refused to cooperate. Even a threat to plough her into a drone could non persuade her. When Vii accused the Borg of murdering her family unit the Queen denied, stating they were given perfection. She and then made a drone step forward, Vii of 9's father, Magnus Hansen.
At that time Vii's interplexing beacon received a bulletin from Helm Janeway telling her that they were on the way to rescue her. Because Seven was linked to the Borg Collective the Queen too knew they were coming.
The Borg establish Janeway's shuttle within a few moments. They used technology the Hansens developed and the Borg assimilated: multi-adaptive shielding. Although the Borg had detected the vessel, with three lifeforms and a hologram on lath, the Borg Queen tried to persuade Seven to rescue them. Unknown to the Borg, Tuvok and Captain Janeway had entered the unicomplex and were on their mode to the Queen's chambers. When the Borg finally tracked the Federation shuttle and locked a tractor beam on information technology Seven tried to set on the Borg Queen but was stopped by her. At that moment Helm Janeway walked in and threatened to destroy the Queens chambers if she did not allow Seven of Nine get, willing to die herself. After the Queen ordered drones to assimilate them Seven told Janeway to destroy the ability node above the Queen's alcove. This would disrupt her command interface. After this the shuttle Delta Flyer was able to beam them out of the unicomplex.
Several Borg cubes pursued the fleeing shuttle. When it opened a transwarp conduit a Borg Queen's ship followed them in. The Borg vessel gained on them while it fired at their engines. When the shuttle entered normal space Chakotay ordered a full spread of photon torpedoes to collapse the transwarp exit discontinuity. The Borg Queen's vessel was destroyed by the collapse of the aperture.
Voyager managed to get twenty thousand lite years, a good fifteen years closer to the Alpha Quadrant, out of the Borg transwarp coil before it failed, as was noted in the captain'southward log on stardate 52619.2. (VOY: "Nighttime Frontier")
The Borg attacked the Brunali homeworld for the third time. (VOY: "Child's Play")
2376
By 2376, after Seven of Nine had been rescued from the Borg Collective, the other drones escaped from the Borg and had their implants removed on Inavar Prime. The drones went in search for Seven of 9 to break the link which held their Commonage intact. Although the link was finally severed, they but had a month to alive due to the all-encompassing integration of the link. (VOY: "Survival Instinct")
In that year a Borg sphere detected a 9.8 warp signature strong enough to penetrate subspace. The location of this signature was the Brunali homeworld, less than a light year from a transwarp aperture. When the sphere exited the discontinuity information technology detected a Brunali transport vessel and the USS Voyager.
The Borg locked a tractor beam on both ships and informed the occupants of their upcoming fate: being assimilated by the Borg. Although Voyager fired her phasers the Borg vessel kept both ships locked.
When the Brunali transport vessel was tractored within the Borg sphere information technology exploded, causing astringent impairment to the sphere. This gave Voyager the opportunity to escape. Unknown to the Borg, Voyager had beamed a photon torpedo on lath the vessel set to detonate when it was within the Borg sphere. (VOY: "Child's Play")
2377
In 2377, the Borg became aware of Unimatrix Zero when its interlink frequency and carrier band were found by the Borg Queen herself.
Unimatrix Zero was a virtual construct made past Borg drones with a genetic mutation. The Borg perceived this mutation as an disease and wanted to eradicate information technology. To protect themselves the Unimatrix Borg devised a nanovirus which would make them undetectable past the Borg Collective but they were unable to introduce the virus into the Collective. So they contacted the former drone Seven of 9 for help. Together with the crew of USS Voyager the nanovirus was improved so they would be aware of Unimatrix Cipher later leaving it.
In an effort to destroy information technology the Borg Queen sent drones into Unimatrix Zero, and even visited it herself. When she became aware of Captain Janeway'south plans she tried to tempt her past sending Voyager direct to Earth, every bit long as she would non interfere between the Borg and Unimatrix Nil. Janeway refused.
The cardinal plexus of a Borg cube was infiltrated by a Voyager away team, whose members were assimilated by the Borg just retained their individuality considering The Md had prevented the link with the hive mind. After they released the nanovirus the Borg started to lose contact with drones. The Borg captured Captain Janeway, now a Borg drone, and she was interrogated past the Borg Queen to give her an antidote. The Queen even destroyed some cubes on which she could no longer hear a few drones to persuade her.
Although the Borg could not stop the nanovirus they managed to alter it. The virus would too end a drone's autonomic functions, making it dice within minutes. The Borg Queen gave Janeway an option: make the drones return to the Commonage or let them die. Although Janeway ordered her first officer that Unimatrix Zero could no longer be the Queen was fooled. It was an order to destroy Unimatrix Zip.
The Borg already lost control over a Borg sphere which was now under the command of Korok, a Klingon Borg drone and quondam occupant of Unimatrix Nothing. Together with Voyager the Sphere destroyed Unimatrix Nada by interrupting the interlink frequency via their modified deflectors.
This action caused the Borg to lose control over several vessels in the Delta and Beta Quadrants. One of those ships was a Borg watch vessel at the edge of the Beta Quadrant. The Unimatrix Nix drones would make upwardly a resistance movement under the aforementioned name. (VOY: "Unimatrix Cypher", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
2378
In 2378, a Borg cube almost collided with the Voyager when it left a nebula, located in Spatial Grid 986, within the Delta Quadrant. Although the Borg noticed the Federation vessel, they did not pursue it. Voyager immediately left the nebula upon this run into.
Some time after, the Borg Queen monitored a viewscreen conversation between Captain Janeway and an Admiral Janeway, who had entered the Delta Quadrant via a temporal rift. She had traveled dorsum in fourth dimension to bring the coiffure of Voyager dwelling.
The Borg Queen contacted Seven of Nine when she entered her alcove to regenerate and mentioned the visitor from the futurity, Admiral Janeway. She knew Voyager was most to return to the nebula and wanted to know why. The Queen warned 7 that if Voyager would enter the nebula they would be assimilated.
Despite this alarm the Borg found Voyager entering the nebula again and they sent 3 Borg cubes to intercept. Although the Borg fired their weapons, and even tried locking their tractor axle, Voyager kept moving on, unhindered. Information technology seemed they were protected by some sort of new armor. While the Borg tried to accommodate, the atomic number 82 cube was fired upon by Voyager with two transphasic torpedoes. The cube exploded almost immediately. The Borg called off the attack on Voyager when the second cube was destroyed. When Voyager reached the eye of the nebula they discovered a transwarp hub. At this bespeak the Borg noticed that Voyager turned effectually and left the nebula. Unknown to the Borg, Voyager's crew was planning to utilise and destroy the transwarp hub.
Several cubes scanned Admiral Janeway's shuttle when she entered the nebula and used the transwarp hub, just the Borg did not intervene. In the Unicomplex, the Borg Queen was visited by the future Admiral Janeway, who was connected to the hive listen via a synaptic interface. The Queen was told past Admiral Janeway that Captain Janeway was determined to destroy the transwarp hub. Admiral Janeway was willing to help the Borg if a cube would tractor Voyager and transport it back to the Alpha Quadrant. The Borg Queen appreciated that Admiral Janeway wanted to protect the Voyager collective but she wanted her shuttle and its database in render. The admiral'due south former offering, how to conform to their torpedoes, was found insufficient. The Queen didn't trust Admiral Janeway because she had already lied to Captain Janeway. Meanwhile, the Borg had found Janeway's position and beamed her into the Queen'due south chambers.
The Borg Queen congratulated her with hiding correct on the Borg'due south doorstep. When she asked Janeway if she planned to attack the Borg from within the Unicomplex Janeway didn't respond. A few seconds subsequently the Borg Queen alloyed Admiral Janeway.
The Borg detected that Voyager had entered aperture 823, transwarp corridor 09 of the transwarp hub. When vessels were redirected to intercept, the Borg Queen shook and parts of her chamber started to explode. It turned out the Borg were infected with a neurolytic pathogen, which was carried past Admiral Janeway and designed to disrupt the Hive mind, to bring chaos to order. This infection as well acquired the destabilization of the forcefulness fields surrounding the transwarp conduits, making information technology possible for Voyager to destroy the transwarp hub.
While the Queen detached an arm from her body, the pathogen started to affect her, she managed to ship a Borg sphere after Voyager. After this, the Queen lost a leg and brutal to the floor. She told the partially assimilated Admiral Janeway that Helm Janeway would die, that way the admiral's actions would not happen as she would not exist at all. After this her cybernetic parts detached from her organic part and the Queen died, causing a pour outcome throughout the Unicomplex which started to explode.
The Sphere sent later on Voyager managed to set on the ship. Moments before Voyager's shields and armor went downwards, she turned around and entered the sphere itself. When the Borg sphere left the transwarp conduit in the Blastoff Quadrant, it was met past a fleet of Starfleet ships. Although it was fired upon, it was not damaged, just suddenly exploded. Voyager emerged from its wreckage. Subsequently Captain Janeway fabricated her excuse about their surprise entry, they were welcomed home by Admiral Paris. (VOY: "Endgame")
2380s
By the 2380s the Borg had assimilated Sikarians and caused their spatial trajector technology, which they began integrating into the queencell of Borg cubes. (PIC: "The Impossible Box")
At some bespeak the Romulan Majestic lookout ship Shaenor and its twenty-vi passengers were alloyed by a cube in Romulan space. The cube afterward suffered a submatrix plummet and was separated from the Collective. The cube was captured by the Romulan Gratuitous Country and became known as "the Artifact", site of the Romulan Reclamation Site under the Borg Artifact Research Institute and Borg Reclamation Projection. (Moving-picture show: "Remembrance", "Maps and Legends", "The End is the Beginning", "The Impossible Box")
2400s
In 2401, an atypical Borg Queen reached out to Admiral Jean-Luc Picard seeking membership in the Federation. Much to the Federation'southward confusion, thus Borg Queen was vastly different to the Queens that had been encountered before and the Collective wasn't nearly every bit outwardly hostile. However, once aboard the USS Stargazer, the Queen began assimilating the ship and through it, the Stargazer'south fleet. In response, Picard activated the ship'southward car-destruct, stopping the assimilation. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")
Afterward being returned from 2024 to 2401 by Q, Picard stopped the explosion, having deduced that the foreign Borg Queen was actually a Queen from an alternate timeline that had merged with Dr. Agnes Jurati in 2024 and had fix out to create a kinder Borg Collective, one based on mercy and choice. The Borg had sought out the Federation's help to stop an energy wave that threatened countless lives and by combining the shields of the Federation fleet and the Borg ship, the two former mortal enemies were able to stop it. All the same, the Borg didn't know the source of the energy moving ridge or the massive transwarp conduit that emerged from information technology, but that it was a threat to anybody. Picard granted the Borg Queen's request to grant the Borg provisional membership in the Federation and so that the Borg could be "the Guardian at the Gates" watching out for whatever this new threat was. (Picture show: "Farewell")
