[edit] Rouge borg ship
I edited this section, it the ship HAS been seen onscreen during Scorpion Pt. 1
[edit] Irrelevant sentence removed
From the section about the Borg sphere, I removed the sentence "Zefram Cochrane said in one of his speeches that cybernetic beings from the future intent on conquering Earth were stopped by humans who were also from the future." This sentence has nothing whatsoever to do with Borg spheres.
[edit] Borg scout
I'm just visiting this page, but something surely must be wrong with this section; a cube 'several' metres in diameter, with a crew of 5, but a weight of 2.5 million tons?!
Hey there. If you're still out there no its not a mistake - those are the stats of the Borg Scout ship as read off by Data in I, Borg. SMegatron 19:59, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not constructed
Hi. I was watching the Borg fan box-set last night and noticed that on the commentary for Regeneration the writer indicates that he believes that Borg ships start off life as ships captured from other races, then have the familiar framework of the cube built around them. Is this worth putting in the article? SMegatron 09:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tactical Borg Cube
For future reference here is the Star Trek: Legacy tactical borg cube: http://startrek.bethsoft.com/images/art/legacypcscreens/lepc_42B.jpg —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kevs (talk • contribs) 06:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Removed speculation from rogue borg ship section
I removed all of this from the article as it is all speculative.
- It is speculated the vessel seen in "Descent" is actually a Borg mine or minelaying vessel that had been "liberated" by the android Lore. This would account for Seven of Nine's familiarity with the design as well as its appearance in the Borg database. Also, since it is later revealed the Borg use transwarp conduits to quickly move from place to place, the presence of this technology also tends to indicate this is a Borg vessel "under new management." The unusual hull shape -- not being a standard geometric shape as is common in other Borg vessels -- might indicate this hull type was originally created by an alien race later assimilated by the Borg, although it is possible that it may possess a purposefully unorthodox design for such traits as specialized tasks (eg: minelaying) or camouflage (given that most if not all of the Borg's adversaries expect to be confronted with the familiar geometric design).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BorgRenegadeShip.jpg
Image:BorgRenegadeShip.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
