Lower your shields, and surrender your ship. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. Resistance is futile. Self-determination is irrelevant; You must comply. Strength is irrelevant. Death is irrelevant. Your defensive capabilities cannot withstand us. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us. |

Species 5618, Human, warp capable, origin Grid 325, physiology inefficient,
below average cranial capacity, minimal redundant systems, limited regenerative
abilities. Borg attempts to assimilate them were all direct assaults. They
failed.
Note - The Borg are considered the number one threat to humanity for the following reasons as stated by Section 31 (Book Section 31, Abyss by David Weddle & Jeffrey Lang, Pocket Books 2001, page 29-30) 1. They are relentless 2. Starfleet still has no idea how many Borg there are, or how fast they are growing 3. The fact that humans have beaten the Borg several times makes the humans all the more interesting to them, that much more worth assimilating 4.Speculation that the Borg recognize something in humans that they might have been themselves once and they want to exterminate it. 5. If humanity survives, it thrives, and it means that some decision the Borg made long ago was the wrong decision. |

Species 116 have large, bald heads, and ears that are recessed.
Centuries ago, the Borg attempted to assimilate this race, but species 116 continually outwitted and eluded them. The Borg were finally successful in 2374, when all but about 20,000 people were assimilated. Species 116 are gifted linguists, with some individuals knowing thousands of languages. |

The Caatati people were assimilated by the Borg in 2372. A few thousand
people escaped in 27 ships.
The Caatati lost their thorium replicator technology during their conflict with the Borg. This technology was replaced by Voyager when they provided aid in 2374. |
