History and specifics[]
In the year 2411, the extradimensional Aetherian Concordium and the primary universe Khitomer Alliance were involved in a multiversal conflict with the Borg Kingdom from the mirror universe. The Alliance engaged in combat with mirror Borg ground and space forces, including mirror Borg drones. (STO - Kings & Queens mission: "Taken By Surprise")
Dendritic drones served aboard a unimatrix operated by Borg King Harry Kim in fluidic space. Dendritic drones were heavily armed with plasma weapons integrated into their body armor. Like a vinculum drone, a dendritic drone could regenerate nearby fallen drones, including itself, thanks to the vinculum technology strapped to its back. Unlike the vinculum drone, which carried a single vinculum unit on its back, the dendritic drone was equipped with a pair of vincula. Someone would have to manually disable the vinculum regenerator to prevent such a fallen drone equipped with it from raising itself.
During an assault on Unimatrix 7400 by Alliance teams led by Captain Ezri Dax and accompanied by Admiral Kuumaarke and Captain Harry Kim, the dendritic drones were declared a target focus by Captain Dax. Dendritic drones were overcome in combat with Alliance away teams. Dax's team killed King Harry in combat. Unimatrix 7400 was destroyed by an Undine planet killer after the Alliance forces successfully sabotaged critical systems, thus eliminating all mirror Borg in fluidic space.

Following the encounter with the Control Borg,[1] Admiral Kuumaarke of the Lukari Concordium programmed a holographic combat training simulation for Khitomer Alliance officers to practice fighting ground forces of the primary universe Borg Collective, mirror universe Borg Kingdom and alternate reality Control Borg. These included the dendritic drones of the Borg Kingdom. (STO - Task Force Operations mission: "Borg Battle Royale")
