targetemployee: Q didn't fling the Enterprise into the domain of the Borg, he simply threw them in the path of a Borg vessel headed for the Alpha quadrant. I don't think 7000 lightyears would necessesarily put them in the Delta Quadrant from where they started out (of course it depends on where they were when Q grabbed them). What was the next ep that they had any dealings with other Starfleet vessels or stations?

Q flung the Enterprise into a Path of A Borg Cube. The Cube was 7000 light years from the Federation in system J-25. The systems location is in the Deep Beta Quadrant. Voyager's flight path home will bring it close to the syatem but will avoid it as the system will be 1000 light years away as Voyager passes. Voyager if it uses another Transwarp coil will be 10550 light years fro the Federation will be 3550 light years from system J-25

Sorry pal. But the Federation is some 10 000 ly in from the boundary of the galaxy. Add a couple of thousand to that and you'll have the inner border of the Federation. (The section closest to the galactic core). If they were launched 7000 ly the only places they could have gone would have been in the AQ or BQ. Writers fupped up. Yet again.

Since it seems to be all the rage these days, here is my Borg timeline.

Some of its problems:

It is not complete.
It has not been spellchecked.
Some of the writing is bland or confusing.

At any rate, it's part of the Borg page I've been promising for, like, ever. Tell me what you think. Savage it to pieces, I suppose.

You know, it's possible that the original Borg species wasn't even humanoid. Could they be THAT old? If they originated in another galaxy, then they'd have to have been non-humanoid, due to that whole plot about the first humanoids seeding the galaxy.

Well, the Kelvans looked like humans and they were from Andromeda...

The Kelvans' humanoid appearance was not their true form. Spock said their true form had something like 100 arms.

LOL! I came here thanks to the Utopia Planitia 3 project. It was... just a coincidence, TLE

Regarding the Borg, there is a nice information source written for the Last Unicorn Games' Star Trek Role Playing Game by a fan, Mark Brenton. It's in PDF format, and you can get it from http://www.online.emich.edu/~brenton/borg_rough.pdf . It's a draft, and the guy will update it in like half a year, but it has interesting ideas inside.

Hmmm... I wonder what happened.

Nevermind. Anyone that wants it mail me at [email protected] and I'll be glad to send it by email. It's a short document (not more than a MB, for sure) so don't worry abut the size.
