Have you played the Romulan Republic storyline? This particular mission was one of my faves.
Actually I have played the whole Republic Romulan story arc, but I only remember one creepy incident with the Borg, where there was a cube being salvaged by the Tal'Shiar. The middle was missing but they did t say why. Also, in the Vault where your boff says "o look a Borg sphere" somebody told me that that's not a sphere it's actually the interior of that semi-derelict cube, which would make more sense since it appears more like a severed spherical section of a large ship rather than a sphere.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "The Borg - party-poopers of the galaxy"~ The Doctor
I've been guessing for awhile that the Doomsday Machine has a connection to the Iconians (either they created it or a version was used to bombard them), they are the "Old Ones" who left for Andromeda after creating the robots in "I, Mudd" and these are the same "Old Ones" who left the galaxy and sent the Ornithoid witches as their scouts in "Catspaw."
I could see Ornithoids by this time next year. It allows for "witches" on Halloween. The true Ornithoid bug puppet form looks like something Cryptic would love to animate (they were also seen in medical charts on DS9) and they were alien servants of a race that left the galaxy.
I'd imagine the galactic barrier may have been erected to keep them out or in or used by them to keep their enemies from following them.

That was "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" actually.
Agreed. The implication is that's where the Iconians went.
Disageed. We know the Kelvans (TOS, hugely advanced octopoid shapeshifters IIRC) are from Andromeda. The text in SoI suggests that the fact that the Andromeda gateway is active is a problem and not intentional - perhaps the Iconians ventured there and bit off more than they expected. IMO this is a bit of a Chekov's gun for the Kelvans to turn up in the future. And start turning your elite BOffs into crumbly polyhedrons .
BTW - Anyone else remember the Dominion comments on the Iconians at the end of that FE series? When you hail the Dominion contact in space, IIRC he says something along the lines of "we know about the Iconians but won't help you when they come".
The Andromedans in SFB are completely different, they're more like the Elachi than anything else - engimatic, technologically wierd and making heavy use of drones, but broadly comparable to other galactic powers.
And to whoever was asking... the Tholians in SFB are categorically *not* from Andromeda, they're from yet another galaxy where they were kicked out by a slave-race rebellion.

I truly hope Cryptic build on this one a lot more.....
Indeed, more tidbits here and there, and like two years from now, we are in Andromedia, fighting the Iconians themselves.

And from First Contact, we seen that Borg Spheres are the central core of Borg Cubes.

Start here, then read the following two strips.
I actually have that book.
Also, the title "Stargate" is not original to the movie: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Gate-Andre-Norton/dp/0152787100

The guys from The Adjustment Bureau are Iconians!!!
