The Borg are without question one of the most fearsome and relentless forces in the Milky Way Galaxy. A massive society of cybernetic automatons abducted and assimilated from thousands of species, the Borg Collective is intent on achieving "perfection" by spreading its influence into every corner of space, consuming technologies and individuals without conscience, obliterating entire civilizations in its wake.

The first human contact with the Borg came about in the mid-21st century as a Borg sphere traveled through time from three centuries in the future to destroy the one species, humans, who had managed to consistantly resist their implacable expansion.

The Borg Timeline outlines all the significant events in the 315-year history of Earth's and the Federation's dealings with the Borg. This is a more complete treatise than the video documentary previously posted on this site, incorporating such topics as the El-Aurians, the Hansens, and the neonatal drones aboard Voyager. (It does NOT include known data about the Borg's relations with other species, except where humans are involved.)
