The Borg long-range tactical vessel, commonly referred to by the Federation as a Borg sphere, was a sphere-shaped starship used by the Borg Collective during the late 24th century.
Technical data
The size and capabilities of Borg spheres appear to vary, based on observations made in various encounters with the Federation throughout the 2370s, as suggested by its designation as a "long-range tactical vessel", as well as its use as an auxiliary craft capable of being launched from a Borg cube.
The variant launched from the Cube was considerably weaker than the Cube, and could be destroyed by a Sovereign-class starship with relative ease using quantum torpedoes.
This variant was also observed to have time travel capabilities. On one such occasion, a Borg sphere traveled back to the year 2063, in order to prevent the historical event on Earth, known as First Contact.
In the case of the variation referred to by the Borg drone "One", long-range tactical vessels, have transwarp capability and ablative hull armor. They were also equipped with a tractor beam.
Design
A sphere has no visible living quarters, engineering section or propulsion systems.
