[edit] Alien Boy Drone
The alien boy drone was a member of Kelis' species before assimilation and a part of Unimatrix Zero. He had no memory of being assimilated except that he and his brother were being chased by machine men. When the Borg Queen attempted to destroy the environment, she visited it and met the boy. She told him that assimilation turns people into friends and was fun. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")

[edit] Borg Drones #1 and #2 (Arctic)
Two Borg drones were found buried in the Arctic by a scientific team who thawed them, not knowing what kind of species they were. The drones' nanoprobes were activated and revived the biological and technological systems in their dead bodies. The drones were reanimated and assimilated the scientists. The drones moved into the space along with the drone scientists. The group later attacked a Tarkalean freighter and assimilated its crew. The original drones and the rest of the assimilated Borg were later destroyed by the Enterprise. (ENT: "Regeneration")
- The drones were portrayed by Louis Ortiz and Eddie Matthews.
[edit] Borg Assimilated Drones (Tarkalean Freighter)
These Borg assimilated drones were part of a crew from a Tarkalean freighter that were attacked and assimilated by Arctic Borg drones that were thawed out by a group of scientists, who were then also assimilated. They attacked the Enterprise when it answered a distress call from the freighter. They were destroyed when the Enterprise launched spatial torpedoes and destroyed the Borg ship. (ENT: "Regeneration")

In 2373, a number of Borg drones escaped the destruction of their vessel at the Battle of Sector 001 with the Borg Queen aboard a Borg sphere. The sphere traveled to the year 2063 through a temporal vortex where it was destroyed in orbit of Earth by the pursuing starship Enterprise'-E.
The Queen and a number of these drones were able to transport aboard the Enterprise where they proceeded to assimilate the ship. The Queen, along with most of these drones, was killed when the ship's warp plasma coolant tanks were ruptured in engineering. (Star Trek: First Contact)
[edit] First Drones Sighted
A security team led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lieutenant Commander Data encountered their first batch of Borg drones as they entered the lobby to engineering from corridors on deck 15. (Star Trek: First Contact)

[edit] Six Drones
In their attempt at suppressing the Borg advance on the upper decks of the Enterprise-E, a contingent of Starfleet security officers encountered a group of six Borg drones in a darkened auxiliary access corridor. The drones were visible, at first, only by the laser light of their eyepieces. (Star Trek: First Contact)
[edit] One Armed Drone
This Borg drone was part of the group that modified the deflector. He tried to stop Worf launching the docking clamp and ended up in a hand to hand combat with him.

[edit] Hallucinated Borg Drone
The hallucinated Borg drone was part of a vision Seven of Nine had due to mental stress and lack of social interaction during USS Voyager's trip through a nebula. The Voyager crew was affected adversely by the nebula and in order to survive, they had to be put into stasis until Voyager finished traveling through the nebula. Seven, who was not affected, was left in charge of the ship. She believed that the drone was coming to reassimilate her back into the collective. (VOY: "One")
- Played by Ron Ostrow.
[edit] Infant
This Borg infant was discovered by William T. Riker in what appeared to him to be a nursery. Riker described his interpretation of the Borg assimilation process, based on his observations of the infant, as: "from the looks of it the Borg are born as biological life form. Almost immediately after birth they begin getting artificial implants. They have apparently developed the technology to link artificial intelligence directly into a humanoid brain." (TNG: "Q Who")
- This infant was "played" by Sam Klatman.

- This Borg drone was played by stunt actor Joe Murphy, who received no credit for his appearance.
[edit] Crippled Borg drones
These two crippled Borg drones were victims of Lore's experiements in 2369. They were among the Borg who followed Hugh and remained in their hiding place, in the tunnel system under the Borg compound. Lore's experiments caused major brain damages. (TNG: "Descent, Part II")
- Both Borg were played by background performers who received no credit for their appearance. The actor who played the male drone is missing one arm in real life, too.

[edit] Killed Borg drone
This Borg drone was part of the group of Borg who attacked the Federation outpost on Ohniaka III. When an away team of the Enterprise-D investigated he attacked Lieutenant Commander Data but was lifted up by Data and thrown against a wall. The drone died. Data, confused by his experience with emotion during this fight, recreated the same situation on the holodeck of the Enterprise-D and upgraded the strengh level of the drone to "feel" the same emotion again. (TNG: "Descent")
- This Borg drone was played by regular stunt actor Tom Morga, who received no credit for this appearance.
[edit] Various Borg
These Borg drones were among the rogue Borg drones led by Lore in 2369. They've settled on an unnamed planet in a Borg compound and were influenced by Lore who tried to built a "new race" and supported them after their disconnection from the Borg mind. A few of them were not satisfied with Lore's decisions and joined an underground group, led by the well known Borg Hugh. When Captain Picard, Deanna Troi, and Geordi La Forge were held prisoners by Lore's Borg, Commander Riker and Lieutenant Worf got help from Hugh's group and rescued their crewmembers. After the brawl in the Borg compound, Data deactivated Lore and the Borg followed Hugh. (TNG: "Descent", "Descent, Part II")
- All Borg were played by background performers, who received no credit for their appearance.
- According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion only eleven background performers were used (limited by the available wardrobe). Although many Borg appear on screen in the final scenes, they were multiplied using split-screen overlays.

[edit] Skeletal Drone
Found on the Sakari planet in the Nekrit Expanse in 2373, the skeleton of this Borg drone was uncovered by the crew of the USS Voyager. It was the only evidence of the invading force that drove the planet's inhabitants underground. VOY: "Blood Fever")
- The Borg remains appeared to still possess the remains of flesh as Borg skeletons are metallic silver as witness at the climax of Star Trek: First Contact. However, this could be explained as rusting or erosion due to long-term exposure of the skeleton to the elements.
