[[Borg|Borg Collective]] starships are some of the most imposing, feared vessels in the Milky Way galaxy. Borg ships are designed for functionality over style and are often stylized in basic geometric shapes. As part of their functionality, Borg vessels are largely decentralized. They have no distinct bridge or engineering section, and do not require living quarters; instead, the corridors of each Borg vessel are lined with Borg alcoves so that drones may effectively regenerate in sections where they work.
 +
 
 +
Each Borg vessel is controlled directly by the Hive Mind, allowing for quick response time and adaptation in combat. Additionally, Borg vessels have a high rate of regeneration which can make them effective in combat with over half of the vessel inoperable. In the end, each Borg vessel is designed for one purpose: the effective, swift, and overwhelming assimilation of other species to add to the perfection of the Borg Collective.

}}The '''Borg Probe''' is one of the smallest vessels in the Borg fleet, primarily tasked as a long-range scouting vessel. The Probe is often assigned to scouting and intelligence gathering on low-resistance targets for potential assimilation and relaying that information back to the Collective. Due to the nature of their assignments, these vessels are also often the first ones encountered by unassimilated species. While a Probe is more than capable of engaging in the assimilation of any given pre-warp civilization, they will typically avoid confrontation with warp-capable civilizations while attempting to learn as much as they can before engaging in attacks on soft targets for final intelligence gathering before a '''Cube''' is tasked with assimilation.

When most people think of Borg starships, they think of this paperweight. It's a warp-capable, cutting beam-armed, torpedo-spewing, assimilation-capable, platonic solid geometry lesson and it's coming for you! The first time they came at the Federation they forgot to activate their VPN, letting a malicious hacker execute remote commands on their ship. The second time around they forgot to lock out a former employee's user account who used it for malicious purposes as well, identifying a weak spot in the particular cube.

The Borg Diamond, also know as the octahedron, is a purpose-constructed vessel for the Collective, outside of their normal operating modalities. The vessel operates as a command and control vessel by designated Borg leaders, commonly Queens when brought into being, during campaigns against powerful or resilient enemies requiring a more focused resolution pathway and minimised subspace latency for adaptation and engagement approach dynamism.

If a Borg Diamond is operating in the area, it is a clear sign the sector is of importance to the Collective and other forces are nearby. Do not engage. Do not conduct further scans. Disengage and report all findings to Starfleet or the nearest allied power immediately.
