The following is a list of unnamed Borg cubes.

First Contact Cube

The first Borg cube contacted by a Starfleet vessel

In 2365 Starfleet encountered the first known Borg cube in System J-25, although the Borg themselves had been encountered three hundred years before by the crew of the Enterprise (NX-01) and also by civilian researchers in the 2350s.

The Borg cube encountered in 2365 dispatched two drones to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) which exmained the ship's engineering spaces. The Borg Cube then attacked the Enterprise, slicing into the saucer section and using a tractor beam to extract components from three decks. (TNG: "Q Who")

The Borg's habit of assimilation was not yet established at the time Q Who was produced which explains why the Borg were only interested in technology and not taking over the crew. This could also be explained by the Borg wanting to learn more about Starfleet before assimilating any humans.

Wolf 359 Cube

The Borg cube of Wolf 359

In 2367 another cube (possibly the same one from System J-25 since the dimensions were identical) invaded Federation space and assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard, turning him into Locutus of Borg. This Borg cube then engaged Starfleet at the Battle of Wolf 359, which caused the destruction of 39 starships with a loss of life approaching 40,000. Several other Starfleet members were assimilated during the battle.

The Borg cube enocuntered at Wolf 359 was later destroyed after Commander Data fed a regeneration order into the Borg cube, causing it to build up an overload and self destruct. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")

Sector 001 Cube

The Borg Cube of the Battle of Sector 001

In 2373, another Borg cube attacked Earth much in the same manner as the previous cube from Wolf 359. The Battle of Sector 001 ended when this Borg cube was destroyed by a Starfleet armada using tactical knowledge of Captain Picard from his time as Locutus. The Borg Queen was onboard this cube, and attempted to escape back in time using a Borg Sphere. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Dead Borg Cube

In 2373, the USS Voyager encountered a dead Borg cube floating in space, its drones onboard electrocuted and suffocated in space. (Template:Unity)

Fifteen Borg Cubes

The fifteen cubes.

In 2373, fifteen Borg cubes passed the USS Voyager in pursuit of Species 8472. One of these cubes stopped momentarily to scan Voyager. All fifteen vessels were later destroyed by a Species 8472 bioship. (VOY: "Scorpion")

Borg Cube (Seven of Nine)

The Borg cube containing Seven of Nine alongside the USS Voyager.

This Borg cube, containing Seven of Nine, assisted Voyager in developing the bio-molecular warhead against Species 8472 in 2374. When Voyager approached the vessel, it was locked in a tractor beam and Captain Kathryn Janeway was beamed aboard to negotiate the development of the warhead. After Species 8472 destroyed a nearby planet, the cube tractored Voyager to warp and to safety to develop the weapon. Janeway and Tuvok, with Seven of Nine as a representative, worked in the vessel on the weapon until the cube was destroyed by a Species 8472 bioship. Portions of the cube were beamed into one of Voyagers cargo bays along with Tuvok, Janeway, Seven of Nine and a number of Borg. (VOY: "Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II")

The visual of this cube firing on a Species 8472 bioship would later be used to show the drone One information about the Borg in "Drone".


Borg Cube Fleet (2374)

A number of cubes in a larger fleet.

In 2374, a Borg fleet consisting of 312 ships, a number of which were cubes, were destroyed by Species 8472 in Matrix 010, Grid 19. (VOY: "Scorpion, Part II")

Two Borg Cubes
