Editing Borg Cooperative (section)

==Borg No More==

Many of the former Borg found ways to remove most of their cybernetic Borg appendages and slowly became something akin to their old physical selves. Their natural skin pigmentation returned, and their memories re-emerged. However, many of the former Borg belonged to races which had historically been enemies. Without the unifying force of the Borg collective consciousness, they struggled to coexist, and as their personalities returned, so did their original hatreds and differences.

First a group of Klingons attacked the Cardassians, then the Farn raided the Parein, and this situation continued to worsen. Within a short time, the planet became a warzone.

In the midst of this chaos, a group consisting of a few hundred survivors, including Riley Frazier and Orum, set up a cooperative in an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the conflicts. Built on tolerance, shared responsibility and mutual respect, the cooperative worked together to create a new life and they began to grow all their own food in a communal garden. However, desperately short of supplies, the other former Borg were determined to overpower them, and the cooperative was forced to defend itself.

The former Borg were unable to remove all of their Borg components, and they were still equipped with [Neural Processor]]s, which were implanted in their nervous systems. The cooperative was able to temporarily re-initiate the connection between their minds using a portable transponder, to create a mini-collective within a small group.
