'''Borg drones''' made up the population of the A drone was an [[Borgassimilation|assimilated]] individual, augmented with [[Borg Collective]]technology, and capable of assimilating others, be it an individual or technology, into the Collective.<br> After assimilation, a drone possessed no sense of individuality and served only the Collective.

Although both male and females of any susceptible species could be assimilated, Borg drones themselves were neither male nor female in a reproductive sense. The physiology of Borg drones varied because [[Borg species|various species]] were assimilated into the Collective. Their organic bodies were enhanced, and some parts completely replaced, with cybernetic implants. The nature of these implants was determined by the drone's intended function, such as a [[Tactical drone|tactical]] or [[medical ]] repair drone]]. Every drone was equipped with a homing device, which had its own unique [[translink frequency]], by which it was kept in contact with the Collective through [[subspace transceiver]]s, thus forming the [[hive mind]]. The original species of a drone was often considered by the Collective when assigning a function.  

 After assimilation, a drone possessed greater strength than before assimilation. The [[exoskeleton]] of a single limb could withstand a [[energy|power surge]] of five million [[watt|gigawatts]] and its body was covered with [[exo-plating]], protecting it from the rigors of [[space]], among other things. Its [[organic]] [[Circulatory system|cardiopulmonary system]] was reinforced. When equipped with an [[eyepiece]], a drone had the ability to see everything within the [[Electromagnetism|Electromagnetic (EM]] ) spectrum (similar to a [[Federation]] [[VISOR]]), as well as view the nanoscale (the size of molecules), analyze every facet and dimension of any object in perfect detail, and save perfect representations of those objects in physical memory. A drone's eyepiece was capable of directly observing the geometry of multi-dimensional space-time. A drone also had a personal [[force field]] which protected itself from particle beam weapons such as [[phaser]]s. However this force field was unable to protect a drone from projectile weapons, for example, conventional firearms. The force field could adapt itself to counteract the threat the drone was experiencing. A drone even had the ability to survive after being [[ice|frozen]] for at least eighty-nine years.  

A Borg drone needed to periodically regenerate in specially fitted [[Borg alcove|alcoves]] to "feed" its organic and [[cybernetic]] parts. The organic components of a drone were fed by their implants, which synthesized organic [[molecule]]smolecules. The implants, in turn, received energy from the drone's alcove during its regeneration cycle. However, if necessary, a drone could go without regeneration for at least two hundred hours. When there was no alcove at hand, a Federation [[power conduit]] could be adapted to feed a Borg drone. When regenerating, Borg drones shut down all non-essential bodily systems, such that their entire metabolism became integrated with the power system and distribution network aboard their ship, thus merging their [[life signs]] into their vessel.
