New Borg As Enemy Of New Series

I've thought of a new series that utilises the Borg as the new enemy but it's not what you think!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

In an alternate reality the Borg have conquered the entire Milky Way Galaxy, they have assimilated enormous amounts of technology and no race except the pre-warp ones have survived the onslaught, Earth in this alternate reality is the new home of unimatrix 001.

The Borg of this alternate reality decide to expand their influence beyond the Milky Way Galaxy and begin building a Transwarp Hub which will allow travel to neighbouring Galaxies but the Q Continuum decide they wont allow them to expand beyond the Milky Way and erect massive energy barriers up around the Galaxy keeping the Borg locked in.

The Borg decide they wont be locked in like primitive animals and upgrade the transwarp hub so that it allows travel to alternate universes and manage to connect to the universe we all know and love. ;)

This alternate reality Borg, much different and more advanced than the Borg of 'the universe we all know and love' begin sending ships through to assimilate the new universe.

The new series will focus on the Galaxy in 'the universe we all know and love' trying to fight off this alternate universe Borg invasion.
In this new series the Federation makes an unexpected ally, the Borg of 'the universe we all know and love' comes into conflict with the alternate universe Borg and realises it can't win.

The Federation, many other races and the Borg must work together to fight off this new threat and perhaps even enter the universe of the enemy to take the fight directly to them!!!

Whatcha think?

Imagine two Borg Queens telling eachother they will be assimilated. LOL
 
Why would the Borg of our reality not choose to ally themselves with the alternate Borg? Haven't they essentially accomplished what our Borg have thus far failed to because of plot convenient reasons?
 
I think the novelty of the Borg was lost when we started seeing them on a regular basis. An entire series focused around them would be taking that error to the nth degree.

The Borg are from an alternate universe and are different to the Borg of the universe we've been watching. The alternate universe Borg will see the collective of this universe as imperfect and would wish to assimilate it to perfect it. Of course the Queen of 'our' Borg would see them as more perfect and wish to assimilate them.

Neither Queen would be willing to step aside and become a drone under the command of the other. They would both wish to retain Queen power and status and would therefore fight eachother over command of the hive.

Oh and the alternate Borg managed to assimilate Species 8472. ;)
 
NEW IDEA:

A Federation ship gets flung 630 years into the future. They discover the Borg have completely overrun the Milky Way Galaxy and has turned Earth into unimatrix 01. All the people who managed to survive and avoid assimilation are now refugees fleeing from world to world trying to keep hidden from the Borg. Many are living on space stations hidden in hostile nebulas or under cloaking fields, many more have rejected technology and are hiding out on the worlds of prewarp civilisations which were not assimilated by the Borg for being too primitive.

The Borg of this time period are now unlike anything of its 25th century counterpart.
The Borg now use cluster ships that connect or break apart from eachother at will. The technology of the Borg is epically advanced as they managed to assimilate all the Galaxies races in the last 630 years.

The trapped crew, now knowing the Galaxies fate must survive a galaxy full of Borg and find a way to get back to their time period to warn the federation of the bleak future.
 
I wouldn't mind the notion of intelligent, self-aware Borg who aren't zombified and who understand exactly what they are doing - bulldozing whole cultures and destroying people's humanity (or Klingon-anity etc), and that it is "wrong," but they simply don't care, because they don't see the point of individuality or morality. Assimilation is the point of their existence because it makes them more powerful, and power is their goal for its own sake.

If the Borg aren't zombies, they are more intelligent, adaptable, formidable and therefore scarier. They could be clever in their approach, not just barging around and threatening everyone in a mindless manner, but using trickery and diplomacy to play one empire off another and pick off their targets one by one.

Or am I describing the Dominion? :rommie: Oh well, I do like the Borg's fashion sense. Maybe that's what I miss about em.
