History
Little is known about the actualy history of the Borg race.
After the Federation encountered the Borg years before it would have naturally occurred due to interference from a member of the Q Continuum, the Borg attempted to travel to Earth, resulting in the Battle of Wolf 359 in 2367. (TNG 3.26 and 4.01 - "Best of Both Worlds") They attempted a second invasion in 2373, resulting in the Battle of Sector 001 and a failed attempt to alter Earth's history by preventing humanity's first contact with the Vulcans. (Star Trek: First Contact)
In 2377, the USS Voyager brought back technology from an alternative future and used to aid in their early return from the Delta Quadrant (VOY 7.25 - "Endgame").
In 2379, the Voyager technology helped save many, but not all lives during a Borg assault on Farpoint Station located on Deneb IV. (HF 3.04 - "In Memory Of")
Impact of Borg on the USS Excelsior Crew
- Corey Aster lost both parents at Wolf 359 and had a premonition of the Borg attack on Farpoint Station (HF 3.04 - "In Memory Of"). Aster was on-board the USS Olympus with Jenna McFarland and Marla Durkos, under the command of Jason Munoz, as they encountered a planet whose inhabitants were subjected by the Q Continuum to being assimilated by the Borg every 28 days. (ANG 1.04 - "Q in the Dark" and HF 3.04 - "In Memory Of")
- Tolian Naros's people were spread throughout the galaxy as a result of a Borg assault on his home planet, El-Aura at the end of the 23rd century. (TNG 2.16 - "Q Who?" and HF 3.05 "Modus Operandi")
- Jorian Zen lost people he cared for at Wolf 359. (HF 4.05 - "Crossroads")
- Elizabeth Shelby was on board the USS Enterprise assisting in the destruction of the Borg cube aimed for Earth after serving at Starfleet Tactical, to which she returned after Wolf 359 to help rebuild the fleet. (TNG 3.26 and 4.01 - "Best of Both Worlds")
Particle 0-1-0
The Borg have come to treat Particle 0-1-0, known to Starfleet as the Omega molecule, with an almost reverence. The Borg see the Omega molecule as the epitome of perfection. (VOY 4.21 - "The Omega Directive")
Alternate Timeline
When the original USS Excelsior fell through a temporal anomaly, it resulted an in altered history, where the Federation laid waste to the Klingon Empire in revenge for the assassination of the Federation President. The Q, as punishment, led the Borg to the Federation. They then decimated both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, after which only a handful of ships remained. This fleet, under the overall command of Admiral Alynna Nechayev, was led by Captain John Edward Knapp, in command of the Galaxy III-class USS Excelsior. The Borg were relentless in pursuing the survivors to the point,where the Excelsior had to use a transwarp conduit to escape them. (HF 2.02 - "Yesterday's Excelsior")
