Notes:

• Adaptive Shields: Borg Shields are nonexistent unless they have encountered the species before. Shields are raised after the third consecutive attack with a particular weapon. Borg shields will adapt to attacks receiving a +1 pip to resistance to each consecutive same weapon type attack after the third attack. Max of an additional +7D bonus per arc.
• Transwarp Conduit System: Borg ships come equipped with a transwarp coil with a range of 50,000 light years. These coils allow the Borg to create highly dense subspace tunnels allowing the ships to travel at speeds of up to one hundred million c. These transwarp conduits only last for a few months and have to be recreated. The Borg use a special tachyon emission to open already constructed conduits. As of 2376 the Borg were incorporating a technology to keep constructed conduits permanently open. When creating a transwarp conduit a navigation roll must be made.
• Redundant Backups: Borg ships come equipped with multiple redundancies. Systems are not affected until the ship is severely damaged. Individual systems cannot affect or targeted. Ion weapons are only effective if a "Complete Ionization" affects the ship. This will completely shut down the Borg ship. Various weapon emitters can be targeted on a Borg cube. Ship systems components are reconstructed after 35 points of the 2D hull healing per round. This requires focusing on a specific system and not the ships general structure the Borg points.
• Borg Cutting Beam: Borg ships can cut various chunks of target starships to analyze enemy technology faster. This weapon can cut a large size out of a target ship. 20 Points is required post resistance to cut out a section. Upon successful completion of cutting out a chunk the Borg ship adapts at +1,+2, or +1D for each consecutive attack depending on the ship chunk size.
• Borg Feedback Pulse Generator: This weapon is used as a reaction skill and only on non-pulse beam energy weapons. If the Borg successfully defeats the attacker’s difficulty value then the attacker suffers their own damage roll. If the Borg fails the roll by 5 points, the Borg suffers the attack. If the Borg fails the roll by 10 or more points they suffer double damage
• Receives no multiple action penalties
