  • Borg species designations
rdfs:comment
  • According to a deleted line from VOY: "Dragon's Teeth", the Turei were known to the Borg as "Species 532". Though not explicitly stated, species designations are mostly consistent with being incremental, i.e. each newly encountered species receives a number one higher than the previous one. Some anomalies exist, such as the Alpha Quadrant Ferengi having the low number of 180, which may hint at an early first contact with the Borg under unusual circumstances. Numbers do not appear to be re-used even after the species has been assimilated. Whether the Borg have a designation for themselves is unknown.
  • The Borg use a system of species designations to identify various species and cultures they have encountered. It is not explicitly stated how these designations are assigned, though it is generally assumed that they are simply incremental, each newly encountered species getting a number one higher than the previous. This mostly holds up when comparing numbers to probable first contact dates or vicinity to Borg space, though some anomalies exist, most notably the Alpha Quadrant species Ferengi having an unusual low number of 180. Numbers appear to be assigned at first contact, and don't seem to be recycled even after the whole species is assimilated.
