Species 8472 bioship

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

The bioship was an organic vessel that was used by Species 8472 and had a similar genetic makeup to their pilots. The bioships, and Species 8472 themselves, were resistant to assimilation by the Borg and had enough firepower to destroy a Borg ship with only a couple of shots. The bioships contain a series of vein-like conduits which carry electrodynamic fluid, possibly for use as an energy source.

Eight of these ships could collect and combine the firepower using a energy focusing ship to form a planet killer. When the Borg entered fluidic space, they were forced back by this resistance. Defense against these ships was found by the crew of USS Voyager in the form of modified Borg nanoprobes. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II", "Prey")
