Species 116 - Delta Quadrant
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 149
Species 149 was regarded as a medically technologically advanced species.
