Borg Probe
A small oblong-shaped Borg vessel about half the size of an Intrepid (II) class Federation starship, with about the same amount of firepower. In 2375, a Borg probe confronted the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 in an attempt to assimilate the ship and its crew. Voyager fought back, and at one point during the battle the probe was forced to remodulate its shields. During this vulnerable moment, Voyager beamed a photon torpedo aboard the probe which detonated near the power matrix. The explosion caused a chain reaction which completely destroyed the vessel. The probe left behind eight kilotons of debris, from which Voyager salvaged a variety of equipment including two power nodes, 12 plasma conduits and what appeared to be an auto-regeneration unit made of some kind of lightweight polytrinic alloy. Also found was a servo-armature from a Medical Repair Drone, which included a laser scalpel, biomolecular scanner and micro-suture all rolled into one instrument, much to the excitement of Voyager‘s Doctor. A transwarp coil was recovered, but it had been intentionally damaged beyond repair by the Borg, who had fused its field regulator, per Borg protocol when a vessel was critically damaged. Also salvaged from the debris were a pair of data nodes, which contained tactical information that Voyager used to locate a disabled Borg scout ship and plan a “heist” of a working transwarp coil.[1]

Borg Cube
Borg Cube (VOY-168)
Borg Cube Interior (TNG-142)
A massive cube shaped spacecraft that was first encountered on Stardate 42762.2 near System J-25 in the Beta Quadrant by the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, thanks to Q. The Borg cube was one of the most formidable technologies known to the Federation in the late 24th century. Its lack of identifiable functional spaces, such as a bridge, engineering, or personnel quarters, revealed the hive-like Borg collective consciousness and its drones. It not only carried “smart” weaponry that adapted, but it could analyze an opponent’s weapons systems and adapt defenses within seconds.[1] On Stardate 43989.7, another Borg cube—sent to assimilate Earth and its technology—traveled to the Alpha Quadrant using a transwarp conduit to make their journey and was briefly led by Locutus, the assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard.[2] Another cube tried to assimilate Earth in 2373, but was destroyed by a concentrated barrage from a Starfleet armada. It ejected a smaller sphere which created a time vortex in an attempt to travel back in time and assimilate Earth in 2063, preventing First Contact between Humans and Vulcans.[3]

U.S.S. Enterprise (ST-2)
Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was a Constitution class vessel.[3] Launched in 2245[13] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards orbiting Earth,[1] the Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,[4] who was later succeeded by his first officer, Christopher Pike, in 2250.[9] During Pike’s command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.[1] According to Ensign Tyler, the ship’s power was “enough to blast half a continent.”[1] Superbly equipped for research in deep space, the Enterprise had 14 science labs.[2] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2265 to 2270.[5]
