Species of Borg.

This is about which species from Trek you would like to see as a Borg. It could be from canon sources or non-canon sources.

Personally I would like to see a Hirogen tactical drone.

    Wouldn't it be something if the Iconians created the Borg? (I'm starting that rumor!) But an Iconian borg would be nasty mean.
    Personally I would like to see a Hirogen tactical drone.

    There are two notables from the Voyager series. One was a personality assumed by Seven in "Infinite Regress," and the second one was a member of the Unimatrix Zero resistance fighting against the Borg queen.

    I'd say the Zakdorn, because, at least initially, the Borg were drawn to the fruits of intellectual thinking. They favored brains over brawn. Their technology gave them the brawn. And, Klingon sneering aside, the Zakdorn are feared strategists.

    Second choice: Soong Android. Specifically, Lore. If Lore was tied to the collective, and given everything that Data was offered, including at least some independent thought, his influence on the hive mind would be really bad news for the galaxy.

    Question: would having a species known for their physical prowess really make a difference as Borg? I suppose the critter might survive longer once the Borg technology failed (at least before adaptation), but he'd perform like a Borg otherwise, rather than a warrior of his/her/its race, yes?

    The Sheliak

    Because the idea of the Borg now trying to negotiate with pacts, treaties, stipulations, arbitrators, loopholes, and other such Corporate tactics...

    "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships, for we now own the patents to your technology. We will add your contracts and middle managers to our Corporation. Lawyers are futile."

    I'd rather see the entire Collective assimilate a doomsday machine to the face. B'Vat had the right idea, just the wrong target.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    Perhaps impossible, but Tholian Borg for the unusual aspect of those two combining.

    or a changeling borg for the ability it would give the borg. Imagine if that ability was then spread throughout the collective

    Jem'Hadar Borg would be pretty cool. We did have one at the end of State of Q...before the devs removed that episode. :(


    On a less canonical note... Borg dragons. With assimilation breath. Particularly if said dragon was from Neverwinter. :cool:

    We sort of have a liberated boff of this in STO but I was thinking about a Reman Borg.

    There is a Reman Borg. Tosk of Borg - the Khitomer 'boss' - is one.

    A bit off topic, but on the subject of borg races... why is the default drone human? The Borg are from the Delta Quadrant--shouldn't they be an amalgam of Delta quadrant races?

    I think it was because it made it easier for the makeup department.
