Borg Cooperative

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

The Borg Cooperative were a faction of Rogue Borg who were present on an isolated planet in the Delta Quadrant.

This group of Borg were separated from the Borg Collective in 2373 when the Borg cube was damaged by an electrokinetic storm when traveling through the Nekrit Expanse. The encounter with the storm resulted in the separation of the Borg drones from the Collective allowing the survivors to regain their individuality and settled on an isolated planet.

Unfortunately, the sudden return of their individuality resulted in the many survivors fighting one another as hatred as well as other war-like characteristics consumed the survivors. One faction would urge for peaceful co-existence and would be known as the Borg Cooperative that attempted to recreate the subspace link to form a sub-Collective to end the fighting. They would face constant attacks from the other Borg survivor factions and sent a distress call which was answered by Commander Chakotay of the USS Voyager.

However, Chakotay's shuttle would be damaged and he would be injured. The Cooperative would care for him and used a Borg linking technique to heal. They used this tactic to force Chakotay into re-establishing the Borg link by using the technology on the damaged cube that remained in space. This re-established a sub-Collective and ended the fighting with the resulting creation of a faction of peaceful Borg. Once established, they destroyed the Cube and were determined to live on their own planet in peace. (VOY episode: "Unity")

[edit] Alternate timelines

In an alternate timeline where Voyager was forced to stay in the Delta Quadrant and stay in the Vostigye Union, the Borg Cooperative was destroyed by Species 8472 during their war against the Collective. (VOY - Myriad Universes novel: Places of Exile)
