The Borg Collective



 is one of the Factions in the game Star Trek Armada 3. The Borg are race of cybernetic beings connected together by a hive mind. Led by the instinct to assimilate technology, knowledge and biological finesse to pursue perfection. The Borg are akin to a virus absorbing and adapting to any conditions that is thrown at them.

Strengths
The Borg are the strongest faction in the game. They have the most powerful ships which can take on fleets much larger than their own. The longer Borg ships are in battle the higher the mitigation rate goes up allowing them to eventually adapt. The Borg also has the ability to build Transwarp gates in their gravity well allowing for rapid movement across their territory. However these are not available until late game. They also have an effective economy throughout the game and will have a steady supply of resources as long as they have enough.

Weaknesses
The Borg don't have any, unless it’s another Borg player. Well they do early on, a rapid attack by a combined fleet of enemy players can lead to defeat. Borg stations also take up a lot of logistic space which requires them to expand much further than the other races. Borg ships at impulse are also incredibly slow, so it is possible to outmanoeuvre them and attack their undefended systems. There also isn't a lot of Borg ships early on too because they take up a ton of slots.
