From Bravo Fleet
"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
    —The Borg


"You can't outrun them; you can't destroy them. If you damage them, the essence of what they are remains; they regenerate and keep coming. Eventually you will weaken, your reserves will be gone… They are relentless."
    —Q


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.

Borg Probe


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.

Borg Cube



"At twenty-two hundred hours and twelve minutes, a distress signal was received at Starbase 157. The Lalo reported contact with an alien vessel described as "cube-shaped". The distress signal ended abruptly. She has not been heard from since."
    —Vice Admiral J.P. Hanson, 2366

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.

Seriously, the Borg need better network security. They should get SurfShark with my discount code PuzzleGod20 for 20% off their first purchase, protecting up to 6 cubes at once!

  • It's faster than you. Better armed than you. It won't stop. It took whole battlefleets just to slow one of these down the second time around and it still didn't work.
  • Honk-honk! Coming through!
  • It's the size of DS9 without the empty space and it will chase you! Are you afraid yet?


Borg Tactical Cube



"If the Continuum has told you once, they have told you a thousand times: DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG!!!"
    —Q, to Q Junior

Take one Borg Cube, slap on some armour plates, and a few more weapon points. And you're done. Now, if you need me, I'm moving to a different galaxy.

  • The Borg took the standard Cube and made it scarier. How? Who told them they needed to make a Cube scarier?
  • You better have a fancy plan just to run away from one of these things. Fighting one just isn't an option.
  • No, seriously, don't fight it. You'll just teach them all our good fighting moves we rely on for kicking the smaller ships around.
