Different Borg | A cybernetic life-form thousands of years old which is part organic, part artificial life. The borg are an incredibly powerful race of cybernetically enhanced humanoids from the Delta Quadrant. Different [[ma:Borg|Borg]] are built for different functions - warrior, navigator, repairman, or leader. Each Borg is linked into a collective mind where the concept of the individual was meaningless. The Borg are highly adaptable, any tactic that works on them will only work a limited number of times, as they will quickly develop a countermeasure. The Borg exist entirely to assimilate other races into the [[ma:Borg Collective|Borg collective]]. The Borg are responsible for the destruction of many Federation neutral zone outposts, several colonies, and 39 starships at the [[ma:Battle of Wolf 359|Battle of Wolf 359]]. | ||
A single Borg has pasty white skin with black and dark grey cybernetic implants covering most of their body. The Borg have a singular goal, namely the consumption of technology, rather than wealth or political expansion as most species seek. According to their spokesman, in the form of an assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Borg only want to "raise the quality of life" of the species they "assimilate." Androids, for example, they view as primitive and obsolete. Once an individual is assimilated they are almost immediately implanted with bio-chips that link their brains to a collective consciousness via a unique subspace frequency emitted by each drone. This collective consciousness is experienced by the Borg as "thousands" of voices they are collectively aware, but not aware of themselves as separate individuals. Consequently, they never speak in singular pronouns, referring to themselves when required as merely "Third of Five," for instance. The Borg ingest only energy to drive their technological system via an energy conduit port. Their bio-chips synthesize any organic nutrients needed. | A single Borg has pasty white skin with black and dark grey cybernetic implants covering most of their body.
