Borg tactical cube

Tactical cube interior

Interior view of a tactical cube

The Borg Class 4 tactical vessel was a type of heavily armed Borg cube utilized by the Borg Collective. The tactical cube differs from the standard Borg cube in several ways, the most notable being the extensive hull armor that covers a large portion of the exterior hull of the ship. The interior is also slightly altered from what is known of Borg 'architecture'. The vessel's central plexus is protected by multi-regenerative security fields.

Only one such vessel has thus far been observed by Starfleet - by the USS Voyager in 2376. The tactical cube was later caused to self-destruct by the Borg Queen during a brief civil war within the Collective. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix Zero, Part II")

Background

  • The Borg tactical cube was designed by Doug Drexler.
  • The Borg tactical cube was also used in the climactic final level of Star Trek: Legacy. Oddly, creators of the game boasted in a video interview that the vessel was of their creation, and that it had been designed especially for the game's finale. This is highly unlikely, as, not only had it had clearly first appeared on Star Trek Voyager two years before, but Doug Drexler's name was not at all mentioned during the interview in question. Also, when the vessel appeared during the mission, Admiral Janeway says she had encountered such a vessel before, and had help destroying it, clearly referencing the events of the episode.
  • Tactical cubes are also featured in Star Trek: Armada II. Eight cubes can combine to form a massive Fusion Tactical Cube.
