Borg cube

The Borg Cube is the primary starship class of the Borg Collective's fleet.

History
The collective has used Borg Cubes for thousands of years in which time the cube has become the symbolic and feared icon of the collective.

In 2367 a single Cube was able to defeat a fleet of 39 Federation starships (TNG episode: The Best of Both Worlds)

Features
Like all Borg vessels the Borg Cube operates in a completely decentralised manor with no bridge or engineering but duplicated systems all over the Cube so that theoretically even if as much as eighty percent of a Cube was destroyed it could continue to operate. In fact Cube’s do not even have a single unified hull but instead have multiple forcefield projectors which can extend and contain the atmosphere in a Cube as necessary. The internal pressure aboard a Borg cube is two kilopascals above what would be normal on a Federation starship, humidity is an average 92 percent, and temperature is at 39.1° Celsius (TNG movie: First Contact).

A Cube's decentralised systems include extensive weaponry; 36 programmable weapons arrays capable of producing phaser beams and torpedoes, 12 focused neutron beams capable of cutting through starships hulls and 24 tractor beam emitters. Cubes are also equipped with 240 sensor arrays and a variety of propulsion systems, impulse engines, multiple warp field conduits capable of propelling the cube in any direction at a cruising speed of warp 8 and top speed of warp 9.99 and multiple transwarp coils allowing the cube to enter and traverse the Borg's transwarp network.
