Tribble of Borg

Tribble of Borg was a non-sentient, animal lifeform, a subspecies of Tribbles that were cybernetically enhanced with Borg technology due to assimilation. ( C-Store item)

History and specifications
The Tribble of Borg was connected to the Borg Collective but not part of it. The enhancements included cabling connecting an ocular laser to the furry body. A red laser was attached to the ocular implant.

When petted by an Allied officer, a Tribble of Borg provided a temporary buff to the officer's health. Specifically, it would have the effect of slightly stimulating the body's natural ability to resist all types of damage, by a degree measured at +1.5. Additionally, this Tribble had been wired into the Collective and would grant insight into their vulnerabilities, granting a 3% damage bonus to Borg combatants. Both buffs would last for 3.600 seconds and could be refreshed by petting the tribble again.

Only one Tribble of Borg was permitted to a starship crew at any given time. Because of that, a Tribble of Borg had the comparative item value of "very rare", or purple rarity.

When petted, the Tribble of Borg made noises, like purring, a Hivemind voice recording stating "Enter access code 47", or a whirring sound when connecting to a virtual network.

Unlike other species of tribbles, the Tribble of Borg could not be produced through tribble breeding. ( C-Store item)
