:''Note: This is '''NOT''' a PC and NPC rated race''
The Borg were are a pseudo-race of cybernetic beings, or cyborgs, from the [[Delta Quadrant]]. No truly single individual existed exists within the ''Borg CollectiveContingency'', as they were linked into a hive mind. Their ultimate goal was perfection through is the forcible assimilation annihilation of diverse sentient species and knowledgethose who would dare destroy the [[Borg Collective]], before returning to the Delta Quadrant to propagate a new Borg paradigm. As a result, they were are among the most dangerous, most feared races in the galaxy.
==Culture and Physiology==
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.
==Spacecraft==
Borg vessels were highly decentralized, with no discrete bridge, living quarters, or engineering section. Each ship was collectively operated by its complement of drones, under the general direction of the hive mind. Owing to the Collective's disregard for art, the architecture of Borg ships took the form of basic shapes such as cubes and spheres.
Each Borg spacecraft was equipped with a vinculum to interconnect its crew, which was in turn connected to a central plexus that linked the ship to the Collective. In addition to warp drive, vessels were fitted with transwarp coils that could achieve even greater speed by opening transwarp conduits. When critically damaged or otherwise compromised, a Borg ship would self-destruct to prevent outsiders from studying Borg technology.
Somehow, the Borg Contingency appear to have assimilated a pair of [[Planet Killer|Planet Killers]], which were the main weapons of the Megasphere. How this was achieved is unknown, but if the Planet Killer was first designed as a weapon to combat the Borg, it is possible that they were captured and turned against their former masters.
