The Lure Of The Borg

We are The Borg.  Resistance is futile.  Indeed.  This cybernetic race won't stop until the galaxy - and beyond - is a loyal part of their ever expanding collective.

Aside from dealing in and committing the standard acts of violence or intimidation, the Borg are unique in their method of the conquer of other races.  They don't just invade and destroy the enemy (indeed, an enemy is a tech source to be acquired), but tempt and seduce others to join their cyborg existence. While it's true the assimilation process into making an individual into an obedient drone isn't clearly understood, there is more than a sense that seduction is somehow involved.  

In Star Trek: First Contact, the Borg Queen tells Captain Picard, "You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself."  This is no violent threat, nor promise of a holocaust kind of retribution.  It's clearly an admission from the Borg leader herself that Jean-Luc Picard would have experienced an existence far removed from his known human perceptions.  Would that referenced experience have included an elevated kind of sexuality as is promised and then even shown to Data during the Queen's interrogation of him?  Only Locutus knows...

Borg Queen (Alice Krige) VS Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson)

They Are The One Who Is Many - They Are The Borg.  The Borg Queen was originally fleshed out by Alice Krige in the film, Star Trek: First Contact (directed by Jonathan Frakes), then played by Susanna Thompson on Star Trek: Voyager.  In a real world monarchy, there may not be enough room for two ruling Queens, but in the Trek universe, we have two Borg Queens who sit on the throne at various times.

Both actresses embodied the enigma which is hallmark of the creepy cybernetic marauders.  The Borg are rampaging technology thieves who will stop at nothing to acquire more gadgets.  Their queen is the most valuable gadget of them all - she is the one who brings order to chaos.

Alice Krige - The Borg Queen - Sexiest Borg Mom of Star Trek

I am the beginning... the end... the one who is many.  I am the Borg.  Alice Krige is The Borg Queen of Star Trek.

South African actress Alice Krige fleshed out the seductive temptress The Borg Queen in the feature film Star Trek: First Contact, directed by Jonathan Frakes - Will Riker himself.  She time warped back to the past to wreck havoc on Earth, tried to stop Zephram Cochrane's historic first warp drive launch and almost assimilated the crew of Captain Picard's (Locutus) Enterprise into her Borg brood.

She very nearly succeeded in tempting Data with the pleasures of the flesh - if only for a scant few microseconds.
