an STNG ep that was never resolved?

The Neutral Zone. outposts attacked on both sides of the Romulan Neutral Zone. who did it and why. perhaps the devs could carry on with this? was it the Borg, or the crystalline entity or possibly a totally unknown alien? an idea for a new featured ep, me thinks

    Like Conspiracy, The Neutral Zone was meant to foreshadow conflict with a hive-minded enemy that would eventually be realized as the Borg. As I recall, I, Borg suggests that the disappearances referenced in The Neutral Zone are consistent with the effects of Borg attacks. All of that, though, runs at least slightly afoul of Q Who, which introduced the Borg properly.

    In the context of the game, of course, the insectoid invaders from Conspiracy are actually an Iconian subversion realized using Bluegills.

    EDIT: Looking over the I, Borg entry on Memory Alpha, I can't find a direct reference to The Neutral Zone, so I may've mis-remembered the connection. I still believe the disappearances were intended to foreshadow the Borg, though.

    They don't need to, it was obvious it was the Borg.

    Fit's their MO, system J-25 and Jouret IV are virtually identical to the attacks on worlds and outposts in the neutral zone, also you see the same type of destruction on the Brunali homeworld as well

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
      -Lord Commander Solar Macharius

      The 'Q Who' EP kinds of solves it. As they find a planet that has similar attacks as the neutral zone planets.
      Well excuse me for having enormous flaws that I don't work on.

      it was meant to be a 3 part introduction of the borg halted by a writers strike that year. referenced by data in Q, who when mentioned "identical to the damage we saw on outposts in the neutral zone"

      There were several TNG eps that lacked proper resolution. Like the one with the weird space time vortex that made a double of Picard.... where/why?
