The Terrifying Origin of The Borg | Star Trek Destiny

The Borg are the greatest villains in the Star Trek Mythos, but a great mystery surrounds their origins. While no official explanation exists in the main canon, Beta canon Trek has attempted to answer this lingering question. The best attempt by far comes from the outstanding Star Trek Destiny novels, written by David Mack. In this deep dive we explore the books rich themes that lend the Borg's origin a powerful resonance that goes beyond mere fan service and instead speaks to the core tenets at the heart of the Star Trek Mythos.
