[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] A brief history Q mentioned millions of years. This could refer to the original species who matured into the Borg. This species has vanished into the Borg Collective and is no longer known. Question is, are they species one or are they species zero? Q places the USS Enterprise into the domain of the Borg, which is in the Delta Quadrant. This action may or may not prove the Delta Quadrant as the origen of the Borg. When the original species had matured into the Borg and had space travel, the species left their home world in the 15th Century (Old Earth Calender). They began the process of scouting and assimilating species. Either in the 23rd or 24th Century (Old Earth Calender), the Borg encounter the United Federation of Planets. The 23rd Century can be considered if you accept that Archanis 4, a planet on the fringes of Federation space in the mid-23rd Century, was attacked by a Borg cube. I think that as a possibility that Archanis 4 could be the victim of the attack for several reasons. One, the colomy was identified as attacked and the colonists killed or missing. Two, the Klingons, though suspected, were never proved to be the attackers and there were was no evidence of Klingon methods. Third, in this decade, the Borg are known to be near Federation space. The El Aurelian world is near Federation space. Fourth, the Borg are known to travel through the Beta Quadrant to reach the Federation. All of these factors make me think that the Borg could have destroyed the Archanis Four colony. If you don't accept the Archanis Four colony hypothesis, then the first contact with the Borg was in the 2350's by the SS Raven. The SS Raven was sent on a mission of exploration and intelligence to gain information on the Borg. The Federation knew of rumors about a cyborg species that assimilatied species and gathered technology. When the SS Raven failed to report in, the SS Raven was reported as missing and the Federation was left sifting through rumors. Several years later, in 2363, the USS Tombaugh was on a mission when she was confronted with a Borg ship and assimilated. The circumstances of this confrontation are not recorded. The history of the Borg and the Federation after 2363 is recorded in three sets of records: TNG, DS9, and VOY. [/QB][/QUOTE]
