Species 116

Species 116 displayed an aptitude for "seeing patterns where others see only confusion" allowing them to notice patterns of all forms and precisely extrapolate that pattern further which enabled them to learn the correct grammar and syntax of entire languages after only hearing a few phrases. Other forms of patterns such as encryption algorythms were also very easy for this race to decipher.

Species 116 utilized a propulsion system named a Quantum Slipstream which enabled them to "avoid the storm on the horizon" and outrun the Borg for centuries before the Borg begun more and more capable of persuing the vessels due to the assimilation of Transwarp technology, expanding and assimilating the sorrounding systems until finally the species were cornered in their own space. (VOY - "Hope and Fear"). Then the Species 8472 war broke out between the Collective, species 116 saw this as their last hope that the Borg would be destroyed before the U.S.S Voyager aided the Borg against the invaders for their own personal gain. (VOY - "Scorpion"). Due to their assistance the Borg defeated species 8472 and assimilated all but 10,000 members of species 116 which held Voyager accountable for the destruction of their race as the Collective continued to expand and finally sorrounded their system with hundreds of cubes (VOY - "Hope and Fear").

Species 125

This is the species from which the Borg Queen herself originates, the species possessed an over-sized cranial region exhibiting telepathy and extraordinary mental processing capacity to such an extensively astounding degree that allows her to control the entire Collective with such ease she may coninue to carry out her her normal activities without so much as pausing. Due to the species' inherent telepathic abilities they were found to be able to easily hear, pick-out and manage the quadrillions of voices speaking in the Hive Mind whilst using only a fraction of their total mental processing power. When they are sufficiently challenged enough to be required to give their tasks a degree of attention they will twitch their heads and when extremely challenged they will focus by closing their eyes.

Species 149

Species 149 was regarded as a medically technologically advanced species. The Borg assimilated the technology to revive drones as long as 72 hours after death by using nanoprobes to reverse cellular necrosis and re-stimulating the cereberal cortex with neuroelectric isopulses. (Voy - "Dark Frontier, Unimatrix Zero, Endgame", Star Trek First Contact)

Species 180

Ferengi were encoutnered early by the Collective however why a vessel belonging to a race originating in the Alpha Quadrant was found in the Delta Quadrant remains a mystery.

Species 218

The Collective assimilated a small freighter belonging to Species 218 in the Dalmine Sector, assimilating the crew of 39. Their dense musculature made them excellent tactical drones.(VOY - "The Raven")
