The letter writer, Christopher Haviland, also speculated that the original Borg drones were members of a race called "The Preservers", which Spock had suggested in the original series episode The Paradise Syndrome might be responsible for why so many humanoids populate the galaxy. The connection was also suggested in a letter in Starlog #160 (November 1990). The Star Trek Encyclopedia speculates that there could be a connection between the Borg and V'ger, the vessel encountered in Star Trek: The Motion Picture this is advanced in William Shatner's novel The Return. They have a knock-out drug or procedure for humans, using a drill-tap placed behind the left ear, that works immediately but wears off in less than a minute.It looks like this explanation for the origin of the Borg is not canon. When shipboard during dormancy in their regenerative mode, power is minimal and the vessel's EM field cuts off. The sick and injured are not healed but "reabsorbed" by the removal of the receiver piece, which leads to self-destructive dissolve. The hive-mind drones do not register as individual life-signs when scanned, only as a mass reading and then at a bare minimum.
Among the many advantages their collective consciousness affords them, the Borg hive-mind allows for instantaneous adaptations to shield and phaser frequency modulations in combat they are also able to regenerate and repair their massive cube ship with the power of their collective thoughts alone. Their bio-chips synthesize any organic nutrients needed. The Borg ingest only energy to drive their technological system via an energy conduit port.
Consequently, they never speak in singular pronouns, referring to themselves when required as merely "Third of Five," for instance. This collective consciousness is experienced by the Borg as "thousands" of voices - they are collectively aware, but not aware of themselves as separate individuals. Born humanoid, 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. The Borg have a singular goal, namely the consumption of technology, rather than wealth or political expansion as most species seek.Īccording 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." (See " Best of Both Worlds") Androids, for example, they view as primitive and obsolete. Enterprise NCC-1701-D arranged by the entity known as " Q" circa stardate 42761 ( 2365) some 7,000 light-years past explored Federation space in the Delta Quadrant. They have advanced well beyond Federation science, unknown prior to a confrontation with the U.S.S. A cybernetic life-form thousands of years old which is part organic, part artificial life.
