			==Borg Species Designations==

			The Borg species designations seem to follow a roughly chronological order and are obviously given to any species encountered by them, not only after total assimilation. There is one reference for the number of assimilated species: Seven of Nine says that the Borg have "referenced this condition [of romantic love] in over 6000 assimilated species" in VOY: "The Disease".

			:Species 116
			:Arturis' species
			:VOY: "Hope and Fear" The whole race, except for 10,000-20,000, has been assimilated.

			:Species 125
			:Borg Queen's species
			:VOY: "Dark Frontier" The Borg Queen mentions to Seven that she came from Species 125.

			:Species 149
			: VOY: "Mortal Coil"
			: This species originally devised the procedure that led to Seven's method to save Neelix with nanoprobes.

			:Species 180
			:Ferengi
			:VOY: "Infinite Regress"
			:We don't know why Ferengi are categorized so early in Borg history. Maybe some of them ended up in a wormhole long ago, or Seven was simply confused and meant to say "Species 5180".

			:Species 218
			:Talaxians
			:VOY: "Mortal Coil" Seven:
			:"A small freighter, containing a crew of 39 taken in the Dalmine sector. They were easily assimilated. Their dense musculature made them excellent drones."

			:Species 259
			:from Galactic Cluster 3
			:VOY: "The Gift"
			:Their technology of autonomous regeneration sequencers was assimilated by the Borg.

			:Species 262
			:VOY: "The Omega Directive"
			:Assimilated 229 years ago. According to Seven, Species 262 was "primitive, but their oral history referred to a powerful substance which could burn the sky [the Omega Molecule]."

			:Species 263
			:VOY: "The Omega Directive"
			:Seven: "They, too, were primitive and believed it [the Omega Molecule] was a drop of blood from their creator."

			:Species 312
			:VOY: "Natural Law"
			:They used a similar technology to the energy barrier encountered by Seven and Chakotay.

			:Species 329
			:Kazon
			:VOY: "Mortal Coil", "Relativity"
			:According to Seven of Nine, "they were unworthy of assimilation."

			:Species 521
			:Shivolians
			:VOY: "Survival Instinct"
			:Seven and Naomi see a Shivolian in the mess hall, while Voyager is docked at the Markonian outpost.

			:Species 571
			:species of Four of Nine, the younger male drone
			:VOY: "Survival Instinct" Four of Nine is against disassembling a dead drone, because this would be against the will of Brothara, a supernatural deity worshipped by Species 571.

			:Species 689
			:Norcadians
			:VOY: "Ashes to Ashes"
			:Mezoti identifies herself as being of that species number. We should trust her.

			:Species 2461
			:Brunali
			:VOY: "Child's Play"
			:Icheb belongs to this species. The number has not been ultimately confirmed on screen, the information comes from the script.

			:Species 3259
			:Vulcans
			:VOY: "The Raven"
			:Seven: "Vulcan. Species 3259. Your enlarged neocortex produces superior analytical abilities."

			:Species 4228
			:Hazari
			:VOY: "Think Tank"
			:Seven: "Technologically advanced, extremely violent. They make excellent tactical drones."

			:Species 5174
			:VOY: "Hunters"
			:Seven mentions that a small ship of that species was found, the passengers killed (probably by the Hirogen).

			:Species 5618
			:Humans
			:VOY: "Dark Frontier"
			:Borg Queen: "Species 5618, human. Warp-capable, origin grid 325, physiology inefficient, below average cranium capacity, minimum redundant systems, limited regenerative abilities."

			:Species 5973
			:VOY: "The Haunting of Deck Twelve"
			:When Neelix tells of an entity of possibly non-corporeal nature, Rebi suggests that it could have been Species 5973.

			:Species 6063
			:Tarn
			:STF: [[Once More Into The Breach]]
			:[[Volus]] was a semi-independant member of this species. He was responsible for betraying his entire race in exchange for the ability to remain semi-independant and to have access to the knowledge of the Borg Collective. This species is native to a distant portion of the Delta Quadrant and is telepathic.

			:Species 6291
			:Yridians
			:VOY: "Equinox"
			:Both the Borg and the Federation believed that the species was extinct. Note that these obviously can't be the familiar Yridians from TNG. The ultimate proof can be found in ENT: "Twilight".

			:Species 6339
			:VOY: "Infinite Regress"
			:Seven: "Species 6339, Humanoid. Warp-capable. Origin: Grid 124, Octant 22 Theta. They first encountered the Borg approximately four years ago. Since that time, 11 billion individuals have been assimilated. Three days ago, the Collective detected one of their last surviving shuttlecraft. A cube was sent to intercept it." The shuttle was purposely infected with a virus that would spread through the Borg vinculum.

			:Species 6961
			:Ktarians
			:VOY: "Dark Frontier"
			:Erin and Magnus Hansen examine a drone on the Raven. "Species 6961...Ktarian...Tritanium infrastructure. He's a tactical drone." Note that this alleged Ktarian looks neither like the TNG nor like the VOY Ktarians.

			:Species 8472
			:VOY: "Scorpion", "Prey", "In the Flesh", etc.
			:Species 8472 is a non-humanoid species from a realm called "Fluidic Space", impervious to assimilation and to Borg weapons.

			:Species 10026
			:VOY: "Dark Frontier"
			:Seven is supposed to assist in the assimilation of a planet with 329,000 members of this species.

	A Borg vessel traveled back in time from 2373 in an unsuccessful attack on [[Earth]] in 2063.

	By the 2350s rumors of an alien race called "The Borg" had reached the [[Alpha Quadrant]], inspiring exobiologists Magnus and Erin Hansen to set out in search of them. Their research took them all the way to the [[Delta Quadrant ]]before their [[assimilation]] in 2356.

	In late 2366 a Borg cube invaded Federation space and assimilated Jean-Luc Picard, whose tactical information contributed, along with the Borg's own vastly superior power, to [[Starfleet]]'s disastrously one-sided battle with the cube, called the [[Battle of Wolf 359]]. A fleet of 39 [[starship]]s assembled to combat the cube was completely destroyed, with the cube emerging unscathed. The Enterprise-D recovered Picard and used his connection to the [[Hive Mind]] to disable the cube before it could attack [[Earth]].

	The precise origins of the Borg are unclear. As of 1484 they were reported as controlling only a handful of systems in the Delta Quadrant, but by 2373 they had assimilated thousands of worlds.

	During the 2370s, the Borg were beset by several major setbacks in the [[Delta Quadrant]], all witnessed by the crew of the USS Voyager. The Borg-[[Species 8472]] War decimated the Collective from 2373-2374. Voyager's liberation of Seven of Nine allowed [[Unimatrix Zero]] to create an active resistance movement in 2377. In 2378, a crippling blow was delivered to the Borg when Voyager discovered one of their transwarp hubs and destroyed it, killing the [[Borg Queen]] (again) and devastating the [[Unicomplex]] in the process.

	After this, there is no canon information on the state of the collective. However, since the Borg controlled thousands of star systems and worlds, there would be no reason the destruction of the unicomplex would destroy the entire collective, or the queen for that matter, since she has been shown to have several bodies.
