  • 'Partly because StarTrekClassic had low-budget special effects (and too many civilizations that were copies of ColdWar situations). So the creators invented a common ancestry for them, via an ancient terraforming effort. (Where "terra" was, of course, the name of _their_ home planet, not Terra.) And hypothetically because the Borg send your closest relatives after you, to ensure the local component of their hive consciousness knows what makes you tick. In the beginning the Borg didn't go around assimiliating. It's true. Go watch the original encounter (Q Who?) again. No meation whatsoever. The classic line is absent. Of course the writers of First Contact were obviously ignorant of this fact when the Borg Queen tells us they've been assimilating for centuries' Assimilation: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TheBorg I hope this helps somewhat.
  • Well, there's a lot of stories as to the origin of the Borg, but my astronomy teacher says that they just live out of their cubes.
  • The original Star Trek Encyclopedia does reference that Gene Roddenberry intended the "planet of living machines" that V'ger encountered on its journey to be, in fact, the Borg homeworld. V'ger was the cloud thingy from the First Star Trek movie.
  • If there was, it was never identified. The closest possibility, Unimatrix One, is a massive space station.
  • Several planets have been assimilated but their main base is the Unimetrix 1 Space cob webs where the Borg Queen lives.
  • No, just a HUGE space station in the Delta Quadrant.
