The Borg Interceptor is a type of vessel utilized by the Borg Collective.
The Interceptor's function in the Collective is as a probe, identifying unassimilated vessels and stations, determine their potential value, and assimilate or eliminate them based on its evaluation. Interceptors are armed with energy beams and equipped with transwarp drive. (TNG games: Armada & Armada II)
The USS Voyager encountered an Interceptor in 2375, in the ensuing battle the interceptors shield matrix was damaged allowing Voyager to beam a photon torpedo directly inside which detonated before the Interceptor’s drones were able intervene. The resulting explosion destroyed the vessel. (VOY episode: Dark Frontier)
