Why are the Ferengi Species 180? (not really any spoilers...)

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Trinculo: [QB] The episode "Dark Frontier" indicated that Starfleet knew something about the Borg. I believe they were shifting through rumors and reports just as they were doing in the years leading up to 2364 about the Ferengi. The Raven, with a small crew, was sent to investigate and confirm the reports. I have a wild hypothesis-I believe the Borg were active in Federation space as far back as 2268 when the Archanis colony was attacked. From the conversations in the episode "Devil in the Dark", the Archanis attack was not an imaginary event, it actually occured. The Federation didn't know who attacked the colony. And the Klingons were denying involvement. According to the galactic map in the episode "Conspiracy", the star Archanis is in the northern hemisphere of the galaxy. From that same point, I have come to the conclusion that the Ferengi, who were known to the Klingons (who may occupy a portion of the northern hemisphere), occupy the northern hemisphere. Further, there is mention of a northern passage in the episode "Scorpion, Part 1 and 2". Capt. Janeway wanted to use the passage because it would cut travel time. This suggests passage is easier through the northern passage. I don't believe that it is ever said where the northern passage ends in the alpha or beta quadrant. Conjectural situation- Sometime in the distant past, a Borg scout traveling the n.p. encounters a Ferengi ship on a merchant ship. The Ferengi become species 180. Second conjectural situation- A Borg ship in 2268 using the n.p. travels through Federation space and destroyes the colony on Archanis. Third conjectural situatin- A Borg ship in 2367 using the n.p. enters Federation space and is attacked at Wolf 359. There is no evidence that the Romulans had that particular ship enter their space. BTW, how many Borg ships did enter Fed. space? Based on the evidence from BOBW and Unity, the number is two. (Anyway, the transwarp conduit wasn't used until 2369. Could the Borg have learned of the transwarp conduit from the assimilated Federation captains?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
