A transportation hub that can lead to any part of the galaxy in minutes. As Adm. Janeway explains what they see on the viewscreen the rest of the crew stand in silent wonder. Janeway with Adm . Janeway help to destroy the transportation hub. Adm. Janeway, in an effort to succeed and get Voyager home, uses the hub to travel to the uni-complex to destroy the queen. There, she warns of the consequences of destoying just one transportation hub. What are these consequences? Were their other hubs in the alpha and gamma quadrants?
Transportation Hub
- Thread starter Lord Manitou
- Start date
I sometimes wonder if the Borg ever decided to go off and explore the nearby galaxies. Sure, it would take a helluva long time. But what do they actually have but time?
The Borg Don't want to Assimilate everyone, and they have a timetable which they are happy with which reflects their level of technology.
Lets just break down what the hub is.
It's a but load of transwarp conduits.
The Borg don't travel openly via Transwarp. They build tunnels from A - B which can take some time to mine through subspace, by time I only mean "weeks" to cross from one side of the Galaxy to the other from what I've seen of the use of this technology, but from what we have seen in TNG Descent and VOY Endgame, after a Transwarp conduit have been created between two points in space, it remains fixed there for some semi-permanent duration allowing thereafter instantanious travel between points A and B.
So it still takes them weeks to arrive at some point in space they want to explore, but why would they want to explore an unknown area of space they know nothing about? The borg follow clues. If they want to go somewhere they can get there fast and afterwards they can back and forth instantaneously but they would only go to somewhere new if it the result of new information from a newly assimilated world that there is value out there.
Seven said that there were 6 hubs in the Galaxy.
Can the Borg get past the Galactic barrier Timewalker?
Would they be happy with Drones with God like powers?
Would a drone with godlike powers, godlike mental powers and godlike ego not overcome and dominate the Collective?

I don't know if the Borg could get past the barrier. However, if you accept that the barrier was actually Q, that barrier need not be in existence at the time the Borg would (hypothetically) be leaving the galaxy.
The Borg do have clues about the Andromeda Galaxy, assuming they assimilated somebody with knowledge of Kirk's voyages. The Kelvans come from the Andromeda Galaxy, and so do Sylvia and Korob (I think - I know they come from some other galaxy). And there was that mysterious message that got sent out during the "Conspiracy" episode of TNG - you know, the plotline that was never picked up on again, throughout all the rest of the series (dammit!).
So the Borg might indeed have reason to explore the Andromeda Galaxy.
The Kelvins were fleeing the Andromeda Galaxy because all the suns in Andromeda where going apeshit and poisoning all life therein.
Not a good place.
However, that does mean a dead galaxy full of technology for the keeping.

Thanks Guy. I can see how the Borgs use of the Transportation Hub might be more complicated.
According to Memory Alpha each uni-complex was accompanied by a TransWarp Hub that served all its' transportation needs. What they did was magnificently take down that Transportation Hub using a major fault at it's uni-complex.
This means their are five fully functional Transportation Hubs and Unicomplexes and another one Transportation Hub that has to be rebuilt.
