The '''Borg ''' were a pseudo-race of cybernetic beings, or cyborgs, from the [[Delta Quadrant]]. No truly single individual existed within the ''Borg Collective'', as they were linked into a hive mind. Their ultimate goal was perfection through the forcible assimilation of diverse sentient species and knowledge. As a result, they were among the most dangerous, most feared races in the galaxy.
==Physiology==
During the 2370s, the Borg were beset by several major setbacks in the [[Delta Quadrant]], all witnessed by the crew of the USS Voyager. The Borg-[[Species 8472]] War decimated the Collective from 2373-2374. ''Voyager'''s liberation of Seven of Nine allowed Unimatrix Zero to create an active resistance movement in 2377. In 2378, a crippling blow was delivered to the Borg when ''Voyager'' discovered one of their transwarp hubs and destroyed it, killing the Borg Queen in the process (again).
In 2402, the Borg once again invaded the [[Alpha Quadrant]] decimating everything in their path. The [[Federation]], already weakened from the ongoing war with the [[Romulan]] Star Empire, was ill equipped to resist and the Borg invasion fleet pounded its way through [[Star Fleet]]'s meager defenses all the way to the Sol System. Mars was entirely assimilated and Earth would have been next if not for a combined force of [[Klingon]], [[Romulan]], [[Mirak Star League|Mirak]], [[Tholian]], [[Species 8472]] and [[Federation]] arriving and defeating the Borg invasion fleet. For a third and final time the Borg Queen was killed and the Borg threat to the [[Federation]] was believed to be removed once and for all.
In late 2419, a Borg presence was found on what was believed to be a rogue planet by the crew of the [[USS Artemis, EX-11000|USS Artemis]]. The rogue planet was actually a gargantuan vessel dubbed the "Megasphere" which contained potentially millions of Drones and construction facilities for Borg vessels. At the conclusion of the [[Attack on the Borg Megasphere]], it became known that these Borg were not truly of the Collective, but of the [[Borg Contingency]], a distinct and secret part of the Collective designed to activate in the event the Collective was destroyed and seek revenge on the Collective's destroyers before returning to Borg space and starting afresh.
===Recent Discoveries===
Recently, the [[Pathfinder Project]] has discovered the wreckage of a Borg station near [[New Talax]] inside a nebula. There, they were able to uncover new information about the Collective and it's activities since 2402.
After the Borg Queen was killed in the Sol System, per protocol a new one was activated in the [[Delta Quadrant]] and Borg-controlled territory. However, due to the nature of the attack being partially psychic, the Collective was momentarily disrupted and '''two''' Queens were activated instead of one. Each believing they were the true and rightful Queen, they attempted to rectify the situation the only way the Borg knew how: forcefully and without mercy. Each took control of the portion of the Collective nearest them, and a civil war began.
Due to the standard Borg methods - attack, recover, attack, in a never ending, unyielding cycle - the war was one of attrition, and one that neither side could end quickly. The confusion also left numerous drones and ships cut off from the hive mind, as well, and entire worlds were stripped bare to feed the insatiable War of Queens. The civilizations on the edge of Borg space were left confused and relieved that they were no longer being threatened, but the war dragged on for years, and into decades.
Until, as 2419 turned to 2420, a new player entered the picture. The [[Borg Contingency]] returned to the Delta Quadrant to reclaim their homeland. Being more militaristic and offense-minded than the original Collective, however, it remains to be seen how the old Queens will deal with the new usurper.
