The Boron are a fictional alien race in the X computer game series developed by Egosoft. They are aquatic creatures which have become one of the most technically advanced races in the X universe. They are at war with the Split Dynasty.[citation needed]

Their territory includes their home sector Kingdom End and 21 other sectors. The Boron Kingdom have an elected government and a Royal Family, headed by Queen Atreus. Her daughter Princess Menelaus is the heir. The Boron are peaceful by nature but will defend themselves or fight in wars for the well being of themselves and their allies. They constantly have to repel minor attacks by Split pilots but they have developed many technologies to repel them.

The Boron were found by Argon Federation ships searching for Xenon sectors about 450 years before the events of X: Beyond the Frontier. The Split Dynasty had destroyed most of the Boron colonies, forcing them back to Kingdom End. The Argon helped repel an attack on the Boron home-world and officially entered the war themselves. The Paranid Empire sent ships to supplement Split warships in an attack on Argon Prime. This war is now known as the Boron Conflict.

The Boron are allied with the Argon and the two form the Foundation Guild.

[edit] Technology

The Boron ships are designed to function in space and water although these scenes are only shown in X2: The Threat. Due to their peaceful nature, they specialise in defence technologies such as shields and non destructive weapons. Their Ion Disruptor laser weapon can strip the shields off a ship without damaging the hull; systems and equipment are destroyed in the process. Their lack of bloodlust should not suggest they are incapable of holding their own in combat, their Capital ships are among the most powerful in the X Universe.
