Spock flying by a recreation of the Machine planet in 2273.

The machine planet was a planet located in an unknown area of space, home to a race of sentient machines. When the NASA Voyager VI probe fell into a black hole in the 21st century, it reemerged in this planet's system, and was repaired and expanded by the machine race, becoming V'Ger. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

After Star Trek: The Next Generation: "Q Who?" aired, Gene Roddenberry speculated – perhaps jokingly – that the machine planet was the Borg homeworld. This idea also appeared in the non-canon novel The Return. However, no Borg homeworld has ever been mentioned in Star Trek. The planet, if a Borg world, may also have been a colony of the Borg. Also, if V'Ger indeed recorded information on entire galaxies as Spock's voiceover indicated, the planet could well be outside the Milky Way Galaxy.
