Fictional speciesAbout
The Borg are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe, known for their cybernetic enhancements and collective consciousness. They are driven by the goal of achieving perfection through the assimilation of other species, integrating their biological and technological distinctiveness into their own collective. This process involves transforming individuals into drones, erasing their individuality and free will. The Borg operate within a hive mind, allowing them to share thoughts and adapt quickly to new situations. The Borg are central antagonists in several Star Trek series, including The Next Generation, Voyager, and Picard. Their menacing presence is highlighted by their iconic phrase, "Resistance is futile." The Borg Queen serves as a key figure, providing a singular voice and leadership within the collective. Despite their formidable power, the Borg have faced significant challenges, including encounters with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of Voyager. Their legacy as a symbol of the threat to individuality and freedom remains a compelling aspect of Star Trek lore.
