The Lost Borg Characters


In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Scorpion, pt. 2", many Borg attempted to assimilate Voyager and her crew ... but only one survived. We'll have an entire season to learn the story behind the survivor, but how much do we really know about the other Borg? Here are the details, obtained from an anonymous Paramount executive who wanted the fans to know "not everybody here is a fan-hostile, webpage-closing control freak".

7 of 9:
Not listed specifically, but mentioned in the press release for "Scorpion pt. 2". The name is possibly a typo.

6 of 9:
The surviving Borg character. As Twin Peaks' Pete Martell remarked, "She's live -- wrapped in tinfoil!"

10 of 10:
This new character runs up the beach, meets Dudley Moore's character, and assimilates him.

4 of 5:
The Borg preferred by more dentists.

5 of 4:
A former jazz musician. Heavily influenced by Dave Brubeck. When it comes to impossible missions, the Collective turns to him time and again.

1 of 3:
A Borg who bats well enough for most major league baseball teams.

1 of 9:
A Borg who bats well enough for the Cubs.

1/100 of 1:
The crew dubbed this Borg "The Black Knight". B'Elanna dismembered and beheaded him, but as his head floated into deep space it could be heard shouting "Come back here, you Federation villains! I can still bite your toes off!"

(Yes, we know that sound doesn't really carry in the vacuum of space, but on Star Trek, it always does ...)

7 of 11:
Nicknamed "Abu", this Borg will help supply Neelix's pantry with overpriced junk food.

0 o' 7:
"I am Borg. James Borg."

1 of 1:
Formerly Duncan McLeod. "There can be only one!"

2 of 3:
A Borg who ain't bad.

9 o' 210:
Full of angst and repressed hormones, this former valley girl is unlikely to live through the season. (For this reason, we hope she will be played by Tori Spelling.)

9 of 9 of 9 of 9 of ... :
The good news for Voyager's crew: this Borg's programming is faulty -- it contains an infinite loop. The bad news: He's unstoppable, and wants a revolution.

2 of 1:
These two Borg, former twin sisters, operate as a single unit. Often seen orally assimilating Doublemint gum.

1.99927 of 3.99981:
This Borg was damaged by the Collective's attempt to assimilate Pentium technology. Only an increasingly expensive series of software upgrades keeps her functional. Her latest upgrade has been delayed until the Collective can return to the planet Macintosh, assimilate more technology from its enslaved workers, and adapt it to Borg hardware.

6 of 1:
This Borg is as good as half a dozen others.

2 4 1:
A former Ferengi, this Borg once assimilated an entire planet by selling them on the idea.

99 2 1:
A very dangerous Borg -- when it comes to assimilation, he succeeds against overwhelming odds.

7 of 2 of 8 of 6 of 3 of 9 of 5 of ...:
Originally from West Virginia, this human was assimilated willingly. He figured that a race that lives in a big square vehicle, spends most of its time keeping it running, and the rest of the time reproducing by self-replication couldn't be all bad. Besides, the Borg Queen couldn't be as bitchy as his old lady.

Bob:
Hey, why not? Every other show has a character named Bob. His official designation, however, is "B o' B".

0 of 0:
A former nun.
