Species 116
History:
Borg designation for a technologically sophisticated humanoid civilization from the Delta Quadrant. They
were gifted linguists, with some individuals knowing several thousand languages. Centuries ago, the Borg first tried to assimilate Species
116, but they outwitted and eluded them until 2374, when the Borg assimilated all but about 20,000 individuals. Arturis was a member of
Species 116 who had escaped assimilation.
