| rdfs:comment | - A transwarp aperture is a structure built by the Borg, usually connected to transwarp hubs. The aperture could be connected to a transwarp conduit, stabilizing it (if it was generated by a transwarp drive). The side connected to an aperture did not require tachyon pulses to open them, as they were always open. The structures are hexagonal, with an arm connected to the transwarp hub. The lost starship USS Voyager used one of the apertures to enter a conduit, which led to home. (VOY episode & novelization: Endgame)
- In the 24th century, the Borg maintained a series of six transwarp hubs throughout the galaxy, from which thousands of transwarp apertures could be accessed in all four quadrants. The hub allowed the Collective to deploy vessels nearly anywhere in the galaxy, giving them a decisive tactical advantage.

- In the 24th century, the Borg maintained a series of six transwarp hubs throughout the galaxy, from which thousands of transwarp apertures could be accessed in all four quadrants. The hub allowed the Collective to deploy vessels nearly anywhere in the galaxy, giving them a decisive tactical advantage. In 2378, the crew of the USS Voyager put into action a plan to destroy the Borg's entire transwarp network, by destroying a series of the interspatial manifolds which supported the network's structure. Entering an aperture in a hub they discovered in the Delta Quadrant, the crew fired a series of transphasic torpedoes as they traveled through the conduit, destroying the manifolds and setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the hub and collapsed the network. Remaining ahead of the resultant shock wave, the Voyager crew was able to exit an aperture located less than a light year from Earth, moments before it collapsed. (VOY: "Endgame")
