Borg Cube - Movement

The merciless intelligence driving the Borg is constantly looking to perfect their biological and technological superiority by assimilating other species and technologies. These directives are represented in the Borg Assimilation game expansion with the Borg Command deck.   During the Borg game turn each player, in turn order, will pick a Borg Cube in play to activate. First the Cube will Engage Player Ships in Space Combat. Then, if the Cube is victorious, the player will draw and execute a Borg Command Card for the Cube.

Borg Cube - Space Combat

A Borg Cube is one of the most formidable challenges players can face in Gale Force Nine’s Borg Assimilation Game Expansion. Confrontation with one of these engines of destruction is inevitable. Caught unprepared, a battle with the Borg can be devastating. When one civilization brings the full weight of their fleets to bear or teams with a rival civilization to confront a Cube, the Borg can be defeated, but often at great cost. A Space Battle against a Borg Cube is similar to a battle between players with a few key differences. On the Borg turn, each player will choose a Borg Cube in play to activate. The Cube’s first action will be to initiate a Space Battle with every Starship in the same and adjacent Sectors. In this way, two or more different players can find themselves battling the Borg together. ...

Borg Assimilation Exploration Cards

While there are many wonders to discover in space, the cosmos also holds threats and dangers; the Borg Assimilation Game Expansion adds up to 20 new Exploration Cards to your games. Brave explorers may encounter Borg Cubes, worlds under siege by the Borg, worlds already consumed by the Borg and other encounters with these mysterious invaders. One of the most direct ways that the Borg can manifest in the game is to encounter a Borg Cube while exploring a new planetary system; The Borg Cube Crisis simply places a Borg Cube in the System. Thankfully, the Borg Cube won’t take notice of the explorer’s vessel yet. However, even if there are no Borg in play, the Borg are always dealt a Turn Order Card in the Initiative Stage, so there if the explorer’s turn is before the Borg turn, the Cube will react to the presence of the intruding vessel during the ...

Borg Assimilation System Discs

Borg Assimilation for Star Trek: Ascendancy adds seven new System Discs for players to explore and engage the Borg. One of those new Systems Discs is the Transwarp Hub, the nexus of Borg travel from their distant territories to the Alpha Quadrant. The Game Expansion also includes two other Planetary Systems and four Interstellar Phenomena to add to the game. The Transwarp Hub is a direct connection to the Delta Quadrant and the main staging point for the Borg invasion. When in play, the Transwarp Hub has a chance to generate a Borg Cube at the beginning of every Borg Turn. The Hub also allows travel between the Transwarp Hub System Disc and any Transwarp Conduit System Discs that may be on the board. This near instantaneous method of travel allows Borg cubes to move from one side of the galactic map to other. Other Starships can attempt to travel through a Conduit to the Hub, but they run the risk of encountering the Borg. ...
