This was later disproved by several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager, which stated that the Borg expand their numbers through assimilation only (see Seven of Nine's quote about the fetal Borg below, for example), capturing babies and children and then placing them in maturation chambers to accelerate their growth.
The Borg then place the assimilated children into maturation chambers to quickly and fully grow them into mature drones. In their second appearance, "The Best of Both Worlds", they capture and assimilate Captain Jean-Luc Picard into the Collective, creating Locutus of Borg (meaning "he who has spoken", in Latin).
The Borg reproduce through assmilation the forceful taking of others and adding them into the collective. The Borg are selective in who they take. Technology is the priority but numbers are also a secondary objective.
Species 8472: Also known as the Undine, they were a highly advanced and biologically unique species from fluidic space. Due to their vastly different biology, the Borg were unable to assimilate or adapt to them.
Children Assimilated By The Borg Are Placed In Maturation Chambers For 17 Cycles
What if the Borg assimilated Q?
The Borg would become an unstoppable force, able to assimilate or simply change the galaxy to fulfill their vision of perfection. In addition to gaining all the knowledge of a particular Q, having their consciousness uploaded to the Borg collective, they would also potentially gain the god-like power of a Q.
The Borg quickly realize that Species 8472 is immune to assimilation and that contemporary Borg technology is no match for it. In fact, 8472 is one of the few species so advanced that its ships are able to destroy Borg cubes in seconds.
Annika was placed into a Borg maturation chamber for the next few years, during which time she joined the collective. Following this, she was a Borg drone and assimilated individuals from a number of species, including a crew member from the USS Melbourne at the Battle of Wolf 359 on Stardate 43989.1.
Although any further details would be purely speculative, it fits with the established canon and timeline that the ancient Romulans could've started experimenting with artificial life forms, accidentally created the Borg and realized the terror their experiments had given rise to.
The borg collective as a whole didn't join the federation it was just a small splinter group of the borg that joined the federation the main borg collective is still an enemy of the federation and would mostly likely never join the federation instead would keep on trying to assimilate the federation.
The term “borg” is an acronym for the phrase “black out rage gallon." In recent years, borg consumption has become popular among college students and other individuals who desire a customizable and possibly safer group drinking experience.
Samuel Harry Klatman (born 11 November 1988; age 35) is the child of Carol Eisner, David Livingston's assistant. He appeared as the very first Borg infant discovered by Riker in the "nursery" aboard the Borg cube in the Star Trek: The Next Generation second season episode "Q Who".
However, a Hirogen can be seen during mind meld scenes in "Infinite Regress", indicating that Seven of Nine herself, or at least the Borg as a species, already had assimilated Hirogen before Seven's liberation from the Collective.
Reputation aside, there is little in the Ferengi for the Borg to wish to assimilate. Physiologically, they are fragile creatures and do not have traits that the Borg are interested in. Aside from a passing interest in their auditory capabilities, it's doubtful the Borg would assimilate the Ferengi.
Q seemed frightened of Guinan, telling Picard that she is "not what she appears to be," and that Picard should remove her from the Enterprise. Considering Q's abilities, it's unclear why he would be afraid of Guinan, and Star Trek has never offered a real explanation for Q's reaction.
Admiral Janeway allows herself to be captured by the Borg Queen, so that she can implant a neurological pathogen into the Collective. The pathogen cripples the Collective, destroying the Queen's ship, and allowing the USS Voyager to ride through the Borg's transwarp corridor back to Earth.
Q. The Q are potentially the least likely to get assimilated, for not just one reason but two. Firstly, their near omnipotence and god-like powers would make it almost impossible for a Borg, or even all Borg working together, to capture a Q.
By the time of the series finale, "Endgame", The Doctor had managed to remove the implant, allowing Seven to pursue a relationship with Chakotay. The alternative future seen at the start of the episode showed that Seven and Chakotay were eventually married, but she died while Voyager was still travelling home.
No. Nor are they actually that similar to one another. The Borg are a gestalt entity - a being formed by the combined intelligence of numerous independent organic minds. Control is a single AI that occasionally uses hollowed-out organic bodies as puppets to disguise itself.
Whilst the Borg are primarily a nomadic space-bearing race they do however occupy planets with a typical population of nine billion drones primarily for the purposes of strip-mining the planets of all natural resources.
Officially, the existence of a Borg homeworld is a hypothetical one as it has yet to be revealed in a canon Star Trek source. However, an identity for the Borg homeworld is given by the non-canon novel Lost Souls, which names it Arehaz.
The Borg learn everything they know about an enemy through assimilating beings. The Borg couldn't assimilate Species 8472 because their immune systems were hyper-advanced.
However Geordi said that Data was able to move faster than Borg drones, who couldn't move any faster than a human; while Data could move fairly quickly over almost any terrain (but he couldn't swim at that time).
