Background information[]

Though not explicitly stated, species designations are mostly consistent with being sequential, i.e. each newly encountered species received a number one higher than the previous one. Some anomalies exist, such as the Alpha Quadrant Ferengi having the low number of 180, which may hint at an early first contact with the Borg under unusual circumstances. Numbers do not appear to have been re-used even after the species had been assimilated. Whether the Borg had a designation for themselves is unknown.

According to a deleted line from VOY: "Dragon's Teeth", the Turei were known to the Borg as "Species 532". Likewise the Vaadwaur encountered the Borg in 1484.
