Question about the Borg.........

Dark Frontier is one of them, I can't remember the name unicomplex or something like that.

There is no referrence whatsoever of the existance of a borg homeworld.

There is the unicomplex, a big space staion that was blown up in "end Game". But we don't even know if that was the only unicomplex in existance, or that it even is a place of control of the Collective. Maybe the borg have hunderds of these huge space stations, maybe they build their cubes in them or study a certain discovery(like the Omega particle) there.

But the queen, borg drones or borg experts have never mentioned anything remotely referring to a borg home planet.

Never.

But, it would be logical there is one, as the borg must have come from somewhere. Thing is, we dont'even know why or how they became what they are now in the first place, let alone know where their roots lie.

Yes but the neurolytic pathogen that infected that complex by way of the collective subspace link certainly would have migrated to any other just as it did from drone to drone...or at least so goes the theory - we didnt see that - all we saw was the queen falling apart and that one complex blowing up.

We are led to assume that the pathogen passed thorugh the collective to every borg everywhere, effectively ending the borg threat

Yeah, there's more then one complex, it's been shown in the series there's more then one. I doubt the entire collective was defeated/destroyed, it's simply to large even with that virus spreading through. However, I will agree that a crippling blow has been dealt to the borg, and it may be somtime before the Alpha/Beta Quadrant sees/hears from them again.

I'm getting more positive about the "Crippling blow" thing.

Its logical to assume the Neurolytic Pathogen did have some long-term effect on them as it came from the future and Admiral Janeway saw fit to use it against them, sacrificing herself in the process.

Makes you wonder though, was Admiral Janeways goal more towards getting Voyager home or to destroy the Borg(a crippling blow or once and for all)?

did it come from the future? I dont think it did (cant remember) but I think it was just something the doctor worked on - it was just delivered by the Future Janeway, I dont think the pathogen itself came form the future

I once wrote a story which dealt with a way of ending the Dominion War which included the Borg interfering and Voyager reallying the Federation with them to conquer the Dominion and its allies.

At the signing of the treaty to end the war, the Federation (who had lied to the Borg about thier intentions) and species 8472 became formal allies and decided to target the Borg homeworld (which doesn't exist at the moment) for orbital bombardment.

When they reached the homeworld (named Syborg, after the Symarians, the native humanoids of the planet and the Borg), they found a completely technological, artificial planet which had been transformed form a dead world into a facility where cubes and the creators of the Borg reside.

Through investigation the Borg came into existence through the merging of the native inhabitants and the technological advances on the planet and then after several hundred years of exploring they had a battle with a species which brought them into contact with a technological virus that rewrote thier programming and turned them into a hive community.

Gee that story was a great read and I might just do that tonight in bed.
