Are there any races the Q, or Borg won't even attempt to touch?
J D Leister
On the subject of races we met a very interesting
one in the Hussnok. They were in TNG for only
one episode but they seemed like an interesting
race, and surely they would be as powerful or
equal to in power to the Q.
I know the Borg could never touch Q's race
but what about the Hussnok and are there any
others they could not deal with, besides of
course Species 8742, which we already know
about.

with our assessment with the Borg's chances is that we know a lot about the

It's mixed up. We never saw the Hussnok because they weren't the omnipotent
race. They were the race utterly destroyed by one member of the Douwd.
The only Douwd we've seen was one specimen. He loved a Human woman and
masqueraded as a Human so he could marry her. They lived on a colony out in
the fringes, and were repeatedly attacked by this aggressive race called the
Hussnok (although I thought he pronounced it "Hussnark"). After a few
battles, his wife decided to join in the fight. The Douwd himself was
something of a pacifist, and refused to fight. When she was killed in
battle, the Douwd got so angry he killed all the Hussnok. Not the ones
attacking the colony, but all Hussnok, all across the galaxy, instantly.
So, yeah, he's pretty powerful. I'm sure if he decided he didn't like the
Borg, they'd be all gone too.
This was a 3rd season TNG episode, but the name escapes me. I'm sure
someone will provide it.

Species that are more powerful (in some way) than the Borg:
First of all, us humans seem to be pretty resistant :) Especially humans on
pesky little starships with a female captain ;)
I'd bet the Organians can kick an ass or two. They paralized an entire
sector in that TOS episode. Another race from TOS that could well be far
stronger than the Borg is the First Federation. Are their bubble ships
larger than a Cube?

In TNG "The Survivors", we met the Husnock, who had sent out a ship and
destroyed a Federation colony. Unfortunately for them, one of the
colonists was a Douwd in human disguise. When his human wife was killed,
he got angry and willed the entire Husnock race into instant death.
So the Douwds are the Q-like race here. Still, I think the Husnock made
a strong showing, too - the Douwd recreated an image of their ship to
fool the Enterprise, and that ship was big, powerful, and had the kind
of invulnerable "faceted" shields that the Borg drones sported throughout
TNG.
The death of the Husnock race must have left quite a power vacuum in
the quadrant - they were said to have been spread over a wide volume,
and in great numbers. Although the volume was not specified, I think
the number of dead was estimated. Was it in billions or trillions?
The Feds seem to number in trillions.
Timo Saloniemi
Timo S Saloniemi
The nanoprobes could be released directly into the flesh-equivalent,
though. And even if not, it would be an easy matter for the Borg to
destroy the Breen, instead of assimilating them. They would have that
dampening field to repulse the first attacks (unless the Borg got its
secrets by assimilating a Fed or Klingon ship first), but the Borg
would adapt. And the "standard" tech of the Breen does not seem too
impressive - their shields aren't exceptionally strong, their ships
not exceptionally fast, their blasters not exceptionally powerful.
They have good pilots, though, so perhaps they could dodge the tractor
beams for a while... Wouldn't help their planets, however.

I don't think it was the hidden source of the Douwd's powers
or anything. The Douwd simply used the melody as the first thing
that came to his mind when he realized he'd have to jam Troi's
mindreading abilities in order to succeed in his charade. The
box was most probably destroyed along with the house in the
Husnock attack, after all.

Yeah - take the strongest armor from the victim's big battleships,
and transform it into a flak jacket for the drones!

Depends on whether one can defend against the Douwd weapon at
all, and whether it can really reach all the Q at once. Since
the Q travel freely in time, they could undo any damage the Douwd
would be able to inflict, but only if the Douwd didn't manage
to strike preemptively at all the Q at once.
Even if the Douwd can affect an entire galaxy, that doesn't mean
they can reach the Q continuum. And they certainly would have
trouble reaching those Q who happen to be in the past at the
time... (if such a concept even exists!)

oooo! maybe the absence of the husnock and their military might even allowed
the borg to *spread* faster without the counterbalancing might and opposition
the H provided?
the H might have been the wall that prevented the borg from overrunning our
area of space even earlier....

not have time travel, it seems - or he and his Roxanna would have

3. Borg are a bit dumb, i doubt they would aviod any species until

the Dinosauriod Voths seemed to aviod Borg with ease. the Q might be
able to play with them though.
the Caretaker seem indifferent to the Borg. and was near Douwd in
power, although like the Douwd of limited sensing ability and no trime

I doubt two Borg could have a child, really. If they are connected to the
Collective, they would be forbidden from having one. If they are not
connected, they are no longer Borg themselves. The kid oughtn't have
any nanoprobes in his or her blood - the placenta ought to take care of
that, or if some sort of technological sidestepping was used, the
doctors responsible would filter out the nanoprobes.
Biologically, a Borg is simply a humanoid assimilated from any number
of species. So far, we haven't been shown a Borg drone that would not
have come to being through assimilation - even Hugh and the infants seen
in "Q Who?" could have been assimilees. Seven derided human procreation
as inefficient in episodes like "Drone", stating more or less clearly
that the Borg do not do things that way.
In theory, any ex-Borg could have a child with another ex-Borg, given
a little medical assistance. All non-Borgified humanoids seem to have
the potential for interspecies procreation, after all. Borgification
may remove the genitals or the testicles/ovaries or the womb, but
reinstalling or replacing them ought to be a simple enough matter for
Federation's medical wizardy. A DNA sample from the male's blood seems
to be enough for fertilization of a female, or at least Seska thought
so. Probably the female ova could also be discarded in favor
of a DNA sample, provided the Trek scientists have learned how to
get regular cells to diversify like stem cells. And using an artificial
womb should be easy enough. So male-male or female-female children
ought to be possible, too. Or kids with more than two parents, for that
matter.
Seven could probably still have children the usual way - at least we
never really learned otherwise. Picard did claim there would be no more
Picards when his brother died, but he may simply have been unwilling
instead of unable to procreate. And the Borg need not necessarily be
the reason if he indeed had lost the ability to have kids. Or perhaps
Jean-Luc had simply made a promise to go matrilinear for some reason,
and didn't want to break that promise, so his kids would not be Picards?

They also stated that the Borg were not interested in people, only
in technology. They were dead wrong on that one, too. ;-)
I trust that in light of later evidence (like 7 of 9 insisting
that the Borg do not reproduce in the inefficient human manner),
those babies were in fact realized to have been victims of
early-age assimilation... Probably fresh harvest from planet J-25
or something. The Borg do assimilate kids, as was evidenced by
7 of 9 herself, and by the Borgy Bunch of juveniles introduced in
VOY "Collective".

That depends on whether the Borg are simply wanting to create more drones,
or if they actually want to enhance themselves. Going with the latter, Id
imagine some complex 'breeding program', something like enhanced evolution,
in which the Borg combine genetic material from 'succesful' species.

YES - I'm ONLY talking Season 3 - OK, maybe I wasn't clear - but my

saying that when I worked out which season AVERAGED better than all
the others - SEASON 3 came out on top... there were of course episodes
like The Inner Light and I, Borg in the Top 10. But overall season 3
had the highest number of GREAT episodes. Season 6 would come in for
the overall most consistantly good season.

The whole sentiment of the scene in "Generations" is that Picard
has realised he has "fewer days ahead than behind". I'd just assumed
he was accepting he was never going to marry & have children - the

Alternately, the Borg could simply have added a few bits, so that
Picard would no longer be "merely" male. The Borg aim for perfection,
don't they? ;)
