member of the Federation, the Bolians are heavy-set beings - making them
ideal drones. |
|
|

|
| Cardassian |
Unknown |
Cardassian
technology is slightly less advanced then Federation or Klingon tech, however,
they too have physiologies which make them perfect drones. |

| Cataati |
Unknown |
A
reptilian race, the Cataati were assimilated in late 2371. Their thorium
isotope based technology attracted the Borg and they fell quickly. Approximately
30 ships escaped the Borg - carrying only a few thousand people. |

|
| El-Aurian |
Unknown |
The
El-Aurian species was assimilated in the late 23rd century. They
had been to many distant parts of the galaxy - including Earth - and thus
their knowledge and experiences were sought after by the collective. A
few hundred refugees made it to Federation space. |

|
|
|
| Human |
Unknown |
A
leading member of the Federation, the Human culture revolves around freedom
of choice and individual rights. Both of which have been deemed irrelevant
by the Borg. Their technology rapidly changes and improves - making them
very attractive to the Borg for assimilation. The Collective has tried
twice to assimilate this race. |

| Kazon |
Species

When
the Borg encountered a small Kazon colony in the Gahn sector they deemed
them unfit for assimilation. |

|
|
| Klingon |
Unknown |
Klingons
live for one thing - glory and honour in battle, and whilst these are both
primitive values to the Borg the Klingon warlike nature means they have
advanced weapons technology and their muscular physiologies make them ideal
for combat drones. |

|
|
| Sekari |
Unknown |
The
Sekari homeworld was assimilated by the Borg in the early 24th century.
In less than one hour the Borg had taken the whole planet - some survivors
fled into mining caves and were overlooked. When the survivors saw what
the Borg had done they resolved themselves to live underground - developing
advanced stealth technology to mask their presence. |

|
| Talaxian |
Species
218 |
The
Borg happened across a small Talaxian freighter in the Dolmine sector,
they rapidly assimilated the ship and its crew of 39. Their limited technological
capabilities made their benefit to the collective only in the capacity
as reliable drones. |

|
| Tuktak |
Species
13 |
An
ancient and very advanced species, the insectoid Tuktak were one of the
first races assimilated. The Tuktak yielded the Borg's adaptive technology
and personal shields for the drones. |

Species
116 |
Species
116 are an extremely linguistically capable race. They have the natural
ability to grasp the main concepts of an entire language after hearing
only a few spoken sentences. Their bodies can easily handle a phaser blast
set on full stun without it stopping them. The Borg tried - unsuccessfully
- on several occasions to assimilate the 116s, but they were always
one step ahead. When Species 8472 began attacking the Borg the 116s wanted
them to win, in the hope that they would be safe afterwards. When the 8472s
were defeated the Borg finally caught up with Species 116 and assimilated
them. Approximately 10 - 20,000 escaped assimilation. |

Species
8472 |
The
only known 'Borg killing' race, species 8472 invaded the Delta Quadrant
to seek revenge against the Borg for their invasion of fluidic space. 8472
weapons were able to easily pass through Borg electromagnetic fields and
deflector screens, and, when concentrated into a single Bio-ship, the power
of several 8472 ships were able to destroy entire planets. The Borg lost
many sectors of space to the 8472s, and only defeated them with assistance
from Starfleet personnel. |

| Vulcan |
Species
3259 |
A
logic-driven species, the Vulcans also have access to advanced technology,
and are themselves leading Federation members. Their emotionless nature
would assimilate well into Borg society. Some Vulcans were assimilated
during the two Borg attacks on the Federation. |
