The Borg use a system of species designations to identify various species and cultures they have encountered.


Appendices

Background

It is not explicitly stated how these designations are assigned, though it is generally assumed that they are simply incremental, each newly encountered species getting a number one higher than the previous. This mostly holds up when comparing numbers to probable first contact dates or vicinity to Borg space, though some anomalies exist, most notably the Alpha Quadrant species Ferengi having an unusual low number of 180. Numbers appear to be assigned at first contact, and don't seem to be recycled even after the whole species is assimilated.

An alternate theory is that the numbers categorize species, where 1xxx is one type of species and 2xxx is another and so on.

Apocrypha

In Christie Golden's Seven of Nine novel, several more designations were listed:

  • Species 407: Lennli
  • Species 1811
  • Species 2822
  • Species 3105: Rhawn
  • Species 4774: Skedan

In the game Star Trek Armada, a Species 9341 was mentioned.

According to a screen saver released featuring pictures of the Star Trek: Voyager crew and Borg screen displays and lists three further species:
