I don't know. Maybe they already have: The Borg Queen was species 125 (IIRC). Maybe after the first 124 the Borg decided to assimilate their own creator species...
To my knowledge there is no official stuff indicating an answer to your question. Where did you get that idea anyway?

The way Voyager's going with this whole Unimatrix Zero thing, it's entirely possible that we'll meet the Borg's creators. That's if there's any of them left...

Who knows, maybe it's an artificial intelligence experiment grown out of proportions.
On another note, if the do plan to do this, I hope they include the Vaadwaur, since they knew the Borg back when they had assimilated only about a few systems.
Even more interesting is that Seven was identified as Borg with ease by a Vaadwaur, while she has only got a few implants left. Maybe the early Borg started with just a few implants, which got out of control?

I don't think the fewer implants idea will really fly...I think it's much more likely that, if as the Vaadwaur said the Borg's territory was much smaller, that they may not have encountered each other often enough for the Borg to take an interest. And then the Vaadwaur were destroyed before the Borg reached their solar systems. Consequently the Borg have no memory of them.

Okay, didn't Seven say that the Borg's history back then was fragmented for some unknown reason. Maybe that alien race in "Dragon's Teeth" only encountered one area where the Borg established a colony. Look at it this way: the 24th Century Borg attempt to assimilate Earth and the area Federation Space has in the Alpha/Beta Quad. You can say they are colonizing. Maybe those aliens encountered a Borg colony near their space.

The idea of colonizing is interesting. Very likely too, since Guinan said in "Q Who?" [TNG] that the Borg are millenia old (I'm not sure if it was Guinan, and that it was mentioned in "Q Who"), while the Vaudwaar memories of the Borg date back only 900 years ago. Surely the Borg would not need thousands of years to assimilate only a few planets. So I would say that the knowledge from the Vaudwaar about the Borg was based on a Borg-colonized sector.

Welcome to Flare, Sabio. Might I ask how much of Voyager you've seen? There are spoilers lurking out there, and I don't want to expose you to any of them unwittingly.

Y'know everyone always assumes the Borg have (or at least had) some sort of homeworld out there in the delat quadrant. Has anyone ever entertained the notion that the Borg might be a colony, and originated somewhere else in the universe?

With transwarp conduits and other technology that the Borg assimilated, they might as well have come from the Andromeda Galaxy... that and V'Ger from ST: TMP is Borg modified...
