Borg

The Borg territory spreads over a large area throughout the Delta-Quadrant. The nearby species fear them and leave their planets to prevent further assimilation. The Borg Territory has one passage, which seems to be left empty by them, something like a "North-West Passage" on Earth.

The Borg Collective's territory is a large amount of systems spread all over the Delta-Quadrant and nearly touching Beta-Quadrant.

Most important is the Borgs' Hive Mind, which enables them to communicate and share all thoughts and skills. To achieve this Hive Mind people are assimilated, which means that their thoughts and minds are added to the collective. Additionally they are equipped with features, which enable the drones to perform certain tasks, e.g. repairing ship systems or operating new drones and the like.

The fascinating thing is that each drone has access to each skill or ability of another drone. However there are still specialized drones which perform certain task, but if necessary they can access the knowledge of the Hive Mind and have the skills they might need additionally.

All Borg are equipped with a cybernetic suit serving as armor and protection. Additionally they often have limbs replaced with tools.

The Borg Collective is a mass of drones lead by the so-called Borg Queen. When they began their existence or how they came to be is unknown. Their aim is to reach perfection and order. To achieve this goal they assimilate other species. Assimilation means that the skills and knowledge of a person is add to the Hive Mind's Conscious. As a consequence the Borg Collective's technology is highly advanced. Assimilation is reached with the help of Nano-Probes, microscopic machines that immediately attach to the backbone and create new probes and implants. The nano-probes also heal damage with the help of the drones.

The Borg also assimilate children which are then raised in so called Breeding Chambers. One cannot expect mercy or any other emotion from a Borg because the Collective Mind of the Borg suppresses individual feelings and thoughts.
