In this special episode, take a tour of the history of Star Trek's most intense villains, the Borg, by teasing details out of Trek canon. nnThis episode is made possible by the generous James Neumann. This episode would especially not have been possible without the hard mental work of Charlie Wertenberger, whose theories and assumptions are featured primarily in this episode. nnResearch is primarily that of Charlie Wertenberger and the crew of Reddit's Daystrom Institute (it takes a collective, sometimes). I filled in research gaps and dates where there was a need. Please feel free to leave a comment, but keep it civil. Also, feel free to ask any questions you might have regarding Star Trek or science fiction.nnwww.trekspertise.comnPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/trekspertisenTwitter: https://twitter.com/TrekspertisenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrekspertisenTumblr: http://trekspertise.tumblr.com/nGoogle+: http://google.com/+TrekspertisennCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
