The Borg
The Borg originated in the Delta
Quadrent, and have since expanded their space. They have launched two seperate
attacks at Earth, and possably more at others.
In STCCG the Borg don't solve
missions, but instead have a full completement of Objectives that they
play on missions. Each Objective is worth X amount of points, most are
25, and can besolved to get 100 points. Since the Borg are meant to do
these Objectives they really can't be rated on that. However, they do usually
have a rough time getting 100 points, unless you assimilate Earth, and
use Populate 9 Billion- All Borg to get enough points to win.
The Borg also have Objectives
that don't give them points, but let them do other things. These include
assimilating and eliminating starships. This is, in essence, how Borg "battle."
Although the counterpart Gowron let's the collective initiate battle, once
per game, he would nulify the earlier stated stratagy of Pop 9,000,000,000,000
All Borg, as you can only have one counterpart in play at a time.
As for Treaties, the Borg
also have none of those, except in dream cards.
And they don't do Espionage.
So if I were to rank the Borg right now they'd have 3 N/A's and a 4 for
Atack. So, what to talk about the Borg?
Well, deck stratagies.
Popular is the Stop First
Contact Deck. Start by getting Loctous at Earth, and then clear dilemmas,
but don't probe for your Assimilate Homeworld just yet. Reveal Stop First
Contact, and then keep all Federation personal from ever exisiting (But
if they never existsed Loctous could never be assimilated, so they would
exist, so Loctous could be assimilated).
Also Popular is the Scout
Deck. because scout ships report with crew to any spaceline end, where
there's a transwarp network gateway, this can make a formable deck. Keep
on reporting crews in this fashion, then complete Objectives, Attack, etc.
Just remeber even those Scout Ships are worth 5 points to your opponent
if they blow them up.
Overall- The Borg are an extremly
tricky affiliation to play, especially with the interm Delta Quadrent rules.
