The Borg Queen
The Borg Queen has maintained her individuality in a way that normal Borg drones can't. She coordinates and
controls all the drones and spends most of her time in unimatrix 1 with her head and spinal column in her alcove. She seems to have a mostly
synthetic body filled with cybernetic implants below her head and shoulders.
Voyager's Encounters with The Borg
2373:Voyager encountered the Borg for the first time in 2373. They found a drifting Borg cube in
the Nekrit Expanse and examined one of the dead drones. Chakotay later discovered a small community of
detached Borg drones that needed help to create a small collective amongst
themselves to bring together their minds as one. They thought that this would help them
to stop the constant fighting among the different groups within the community.
A dead borg drone was found on the Sakari home world later that year. The Sakari's ancestors were forced to abandon the surface, mask their
life signs and technology and move under ground to avoid the invaders that struck their planet.
2374:
Voyager encountered the Borg again when they detected a Borg-free passage through Borg space.
The reason for this was that that the entrance to fluidic space and
Species 8472 was situated within this passage.
Janeway found Species 8472 very dangerous and decided to form an alliance with the
Borg, to help them destroy species 8472. In return she expected the Borg to give Voyager safe
passage through their space. Seven of Nine, tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01, was assigned
to work with Janeway to create a nanoprobe weapon which could stop Species 8472.
They succeded in creating a weapon, which was capable of destroying several bio-ships before
Species 8472 retreated to fluidic space. The Borg
didn't hold their agreement with Janeway and Seven of Nine tried to transmit Voyager's
position the Borg. Chakotay managed to distract Seven of Nine while
Torres overloaded Seven's connection with the Collective. The detached Seven of Nine later
tried to contact the collective again, but was stopped by Kes and her increasing mental powers.
2375:
Seven's nanoprobes infected the doctor's emitter during transport in early 2375. The emitter used Ensign Mulcahey's genetic
code to create an avanced Borg drone. Seven named the drone "One" and explained about the borg collective's destructive
mentality and that his 29th-century technology would make the borg much more advanced and dangerous. One heard the voice of the Collective when
they attacked Voyager, but he chose to save Voyager from destruction, which damaged him. He refused to let the Doctor
operate to save him because he didn't want to put the crew in danger, so he allowed himself to die to keep the Borg from pursuing him.
Voyager encountered the Borg yet again, later during 2375 when Janeway came up with a plan to steal a trans warp coil from
a damaged borg cube. The Borg queen contacted Seven of Nine and made her an ultimatum: To surrender her self or all
crewmembers would be assimilated. Seven, who wanted to spare them the horror of assimilation, went back to the collective.
Seven met her assimilated father at the borg queen's unicomplex. Janeway and Tuvok embarked on a rescue mission inside the
unicomplex and managed to free Seven from the Borg queen.
2376:
In 2376 Voyager encountered a damaged borg cube in Grid 649, which had been infected by a
virus that had killed all the adult drones, but left their assimilated but underdeveloped borg
children alive. Voyager rescued the children who later left Voyager, but Icheb decided to
remain on Voyager and apply for Starfleet Academy.
2377:
The struggle to disable the borg collective moved on in 2377 when Janeway infected the
collective with a virus that freed borg drones from the hive mind to make them individual
drones. The individual drones kept up the fight in Unimatrix zero, where some drones with a recessive
mutation go during regeneration so they can exist as individuals.
The final struggle against the borg took place when Captain Janeway and Admiral Janeway managed to defeat the borg queen by
infecting her with a pathogen designed to bring chaos to order within the collective. Voyager was able to use a borg transwarp
hub to go back to the alpha quadrant.
History of the Federation and The Borg
Q transported Enterprise-D to the Beta Quadrant where he exposed them to the Borg. He then transported
them back to the Alpha Quadrant again.
2366 - Captain Picard was captured and assimilated by the Borg and given the Borg designation Locutus.
He led a Borg Cube towards earth but ended up fighting around 40 Federation starships at Wolf 359 first. Commander William
Riker saved Picard and stopped the cube from reaching earth.
2368 - Enterprise found a Borg drone, who they called Hugh, and helped him to become an individal again.
Erin and Magnus Hansen, both exobiologists, travelled to the Delta Quadrant to research the Borg
Collective. They developed multi-adaptive shielding, which prevented the borg from detecting them, but were assimilated
together with their daughter Annika Hansen in 2356.
