Borg Cube

The Borg's cube-shaped ship.

The Borg Cube, named for its shape, is the Borg's main interstellar transport and warship. One was first seen when the Borg were introduced in the Next Generation episode "Q Who", which showed it far beyond the Enterprise's power to fight or escape without outside help.

Lore & Background

"The Best of Both Worlds" and Star Trek: First Contact both show a single Cube as a serious military threat, able to fight or defeat a whole fleet.

Cubes typically have warp and transwarp drives, self-regeneration, redundant systems, adaptation in combat, energy weapons, tractor and cutting beams, and transporters.
