Borg Queen
The mysterious Borg Queen lives at the center of the Borg collective, in an area designated Unimatrix 01. Her exact role within the collective remains unclear and her nature, which appeared to combine a form of individuality with the Borg’s collective consciousness, often seemed contradictory. The Borg Queen had a sense of individuality and personality that Borg drones lacked. She was extremely intelligent and perceptive, and was very adept at manipulating individuals. Only Locutus—the assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard—ever demonstrated this kind of self-awareness and understanding of a non-collective existence. When the Borg communicated with other races, thousands of voices were normally heard speaking in unison. But the Borg Queen had been known to contact individuals, “speaking” with her own “individual” voice. Although the Queen may have appeared to be an individual, she maintained that she was just as much a part of the Borg’s collective consciousness as any drone. For the Borg Queen, the concepts “I” and “we” seemed interchangeable. In her own words, she was “the one who [was] many.” Her dual individual/collective nature could seem confusing, and the Borg dismissed humanity’s thinking as “too linear” to fully understand her existence. It may be appropriate to think of her as the “single” manifestation of the Borg’s collective identity.[1]

Bethany
Schoolteacher on the Skagaran planet. Bethany was three-quarters Human, one-quarter Skagaran. She was also one of the only Humans on the planet sympathetic to the Skagarans’ plight, going so far as to teach the alien children, even though it was illegal. Bethany was arrested by Deputy Bennings for this offense, but was freed by Captain Archer and wounded during the escape attempt. Archer had no choice but to beam her up for medical treatment. After she was treated, Bethany returned to the newly-enlightened planet, where she was finally able to teach both humans and Skagarans legally.[1]
