Cortical Implant - An implant inserted along the spine of a Borg drone. Employed during the regeneration cycle, the Cortical Implant draws in power for the maintenance of vital components and other implants. The Cortical Implant is also respsonsible for the regualtion of remaining biological organs not removed or replaced during assimilation. (reference "Night", "Imperfection" [VGR])
Neuro-processor - A memory circuit implanted into a Drone which contains all instructions the Drone has recieved from the Collective. (reference "Star Trek: First Contact")
Neuro-transceiver - A small transmitting device implanted into the spinal cloumn which serves as the connection of a Drone to the Collective. (reference "Unity", "Scorpion" [VGR])
Vocal Subprocesser - Implant placed near the esophageal aperture in the neck of a drone. This implant is designed to facilitate the sonic interface with Borg transponders. It also enables its user to have "perfect pitch" in speech and other forms of communication (reference "Someone to Watch Over Me", "Collective", "Unimatrix Zero" [VGR])
Proximity Transceiver - Implant which is half submerged in the region of the lower neck on a drone. When active, the implant transmits a Borg proximity signal to the Collective. This implant is not easily suppressed. In some instances, the cranial implants have been known to adapt to any form of suppression and form a secondary transceiver. (reference "Drone" [VGR])
Organelles - Tiny devices implanted directly into the bone marrow of Drones. These organelles have the ability to regenerate removed or damaged Borg components, as well as biological flesh. (reference "The Raven" [VGR])
Nanoprobes - Microscopic robots used during the assimilation process of Borg drones. Nanoprobes are injected into the victims blood stream through injection tubules. Once the initial assimilation process is complete, nanoprobes are re-directed toward the continued replication of assimilated body cells. In addition, nanoprobes are also employed to regenerate damaged technological implants or biological organs. The Borg have also utilized nanoprobes to stop cellular necrosis and prevent the death of a drone, for a period of up to 73 hours. They are also used to assimilate foreign technology and convert it to standard Borg alphanumerics. (reference "The Raven", "Scorpion", "Mortal Coil", "Collective", "Drone" [VGR])
Neuro-Processing Adjunct - An implant placed behind the ear of drones. The Neuro-Processing Adjunct is designed to increase the synaptic efficiency of the drone. (reference "Dark Frontier" [VGR])
Chronometric Node- A small implant located in the cranium which contains physiological data of the drone. This node is used to record information, such as the time of death when the cybernetic systems disengage from the organic tissue. (reference "Timeless" [VGR])
Interlink Node - Implant used to interface with a Borg alcove during the regeneration cycle. (reference "Unimatrix Zero" [VGR])
Designator Interface Circuit - A small circuit located on the exterior of Drones. This circuit contains information on the Drones numerical designation as well as information it has accumulated since last connected with the Collective. Removal of this circuit activates a self-destruct program that completely vaporizes the Drone (reference "Q-Who?" [TNG])
Ocular Implant- An enhanced visual receptor implanted directly into the optical centers of the drone. These eyepieces are capable of granting a drone the ability to see far more than an organic eye. These optical enhancements possess a wide variety of functions, including the ability to analyze complex three dimensional shapes, increased visual acuity, hand eye coordination and to focus on objects to the microscopic level. (reference "I, Borg" [TNG], "The Gift" [VGR])
Personal shield - An energy emitting device used to shield against defensive energy weapons. These shields cannot repel energy discharges of a frequency not previously encountered, but can quickly adapt once the attacking frequency has been analyzed. (reference "Q Who", "Best of Both Worlds" [TNG], Star Trek: First Contact, "Scorpion" [VGR])
Exoplating - Metallic armor plating surrounding the the body of a Borg drone. The exoplating serves as both defensive armor and means to enhance the physical frame of a Borg drone. (reference "Dark Frontier" [VGR])
Limb Exoskeleton - The protective cybernetic implant of a Borg Drone covering part of the arm and hand. These exoskeletons can protect a Drone from shocks with direct contact with energy fields of at least five million gigawatts of power. (reference "Revulsion" [VGR])
Thoracic Assembly- A collection of tools and instruments found along the forearms and hands of Borg drones. These instruments assist drones in utilizing and removing their native technology as well as aiding in their combat effectiveness. (reference "Revulsion" [VGR])
Extraction Tubules- Small, dagger-like extensions located on the hand or finger tips of Borg drones. When employed, they are designed to remove tissue samples from a target organism. The tubules can also be extended from certain types of hardware components. I.E.: A maturation chamber used extraction tubules to remove a tissue sample from an ensign on the Starship Voyager. (reference "Drone" [VGR])
Injection Tubules - Two or three clawlike extensions implanted in the arm or hand of a Drone. These extensions are capable of penetrating any known alloy or energy field. These tubules are used to inject nanoprobes which assimilate the cells of a victim by reprogramming their DNA sequnce. This is the first stage of the assimilation process. They can also be used to penetrate and take control of computer systems. (reference "Star Trek: First Contact", "Scorpion", "Drone" [VGR])
Microcircuit fibers - Part of the internal biological changes made to a being during the assimilation process. While a link to the Collective is active, these fibers alter the DNA and make it impossible to disconnect implants from the Drone. (reference "The Best of Both Worlds" [TNG])
