Star Trek Confirms the Borg Are Immune to a Major Galactic Threat

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek: Defiant #13!

Star Trek has confirmed the Borg are immune to a major new galactic threat. The parasitic aliens from the first season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Conspiracy” have returned, primed for a takeover of the Federation. Yet, in Star Trek: Defiant #13, the parasites try to bond themselves with Worf and his crew–and fans are shocked to learn the Borg are seemingly immune.

Star Trek: Defiant #13 is written by Christopher Cantwell and drawn by Angel Unzueta. Worf and the Defiant’s crew have docked at Starbase 99, which has been infested with parasitic aliens. The parasites then attack, and as Worf and company try to fend them off, one of the aliens attempts to take over Hugh, the ex-Borg drone that recently joined the crew. However, they are unable to do so, calling the Borg “corrupt tissue” that is of no use to the parasites.

However, their goals of conquest have already hit a major stumbling block: the Borg. The parasites made a remark about Hugh’s tissue being dead and thus useless, a clear reference to the nano-probes the Borg use to assimilate others. As the assimilation process takes hold, living tissue is significantly altered, and apparently so much so that it renders the body useless to the parasites.
