Changes: Central plexus

Revision as of 21:28, 17 December 2010

The central plexus was a device present on all Borg vessels which linked it to every other Borg ship.

In 2377, a team from the USS Voyager gained access to the central plexus of a Class-4 tactical cube in an attempt to distribute a nanovirus to the entire Borg Collective, designed to nullify the cortical inhibitors of a community of drones who had been interacting with each other while regenerating, allowing them to retain their memories in the real world. As the central plexus of the tactical cube was protected by multi-regenerative security grids, the team allowed themselves to be assimilated, using a neural suppressant to retain their individuality.

The team initially experienced difficulty in gaining access to the plexus, as it would require shutting down the power grid for the entire section, an act which would have drawn unwanted attention. As such, they were forced to proceed to the primary access port, which was isolated from the main power grid. Gaining access to the chamber, they were successful in deploying the virus, allowing a number of liberated drones to begin mounting a resistance movement against the Collective.

+In [[2377]], a team from the {{USS|Voyager}} gained access to the central plexus of a [[Borg tactical cube|Class-4 tactical cube]] in an attempt to distribute a [[nanovirus]] to the entire [[Borg Collective]], designed to nullify the [[cortical inhibitor]]s of a community of [[Borg drone|drone]]s who had been interacting with each other while regenerating, allowing them to retain their memories in the real world.

-The central plexus was used to connect a ship to all other ships within the [[Borg Collective]]. Because of its importance, the central plexus was protected with [[force field]]s. [[Borg tactical cube|Class four tactical Borg vessels]] used [[multi-regenerative security grid]]s to protect it, which made [[transporter|beaming]] someone into it impossible due to the heavy shielding.
-Entering the vicinity of a central plexus was risky to say the least. The corridors leading to it were protected by force fields. To enter the plexus the [[power grid]] of the section it was in could be brought off-line, but this would bring an intrusion attempt to the attention of the Borg, or it could be accessed by the primary access port – which was isolated from the main power grid. The [[access code]]s of this access port could be bypassed and after placing four actuators in their correct position the access port would open and so gave access to the central plexus room.

-The central plexus itself was located in the middle of the room. After removing one of its side panels the plexus would be accessible. Borg [[assimilation tubule]]s could be used to download information into the exposed plexus.

-In [[2377]], [[Kathryn Janeway|Janeway]], [[B'Elanna Torres|Torres]], and [[Tuvok]] infiltrated the central plexus of Borg tactical cube 138 to release a [[nanovirus]] – to save the inhabitants of [[Unimatrix Zero]]. Because of the plexus interconnecting with other Borg vessels, the [[virus]] was expected to travel quickly into the Borg Collective and [[hive mind]]. Within minutes, this resulted in thousands of [[Borg drone|drones]] who were no longer under the control of the Borg hive mind. ({{VOY|Unimatrix Zero|Unimatrix Zero, Part II}})
-When the insertion of the virus was discovered by the [[Borg Queen]], she accessed the central plexus and the results of the nanovirus could be seen as flickering strands within the central plexus itself.
