Aye. Before I saw that emblem my initial reaction was that it was the Bassen Rift.

Maybe I'm a shit Trekkie. I didn't know the Borg had an emblem. Why do they need one?

What's it supposed to be? It looks like a four-fingered hand.

They have no imagination so they go for the direct apporach. "We're here, we're going to assimilate you."

The odd thing is that it took me a while to realize that the one on the left was the Enterprise.... even though it says "Enterprise" right on it. I saw the green glow in the bigger ship on the right and right away thought, "Oh cool, it's like a Borg ship." then I noticed the Borg logo. Only after that did I realize that the smaller ship said "Enterprise" and then I noticed the nacel red and blue glow.

Not to mention the UFP logo on the flag :)

They should make this into a show. Replace the Borg with evil Imperial robots and the Enterprise with a ragtag fleet of frigates manned by men and mythical folk. The ships are protected by magic and the cannons fire magical cannon balls.

BTW, I know the Borg ship is supposed to outclass everything... but did the hero ship have to be represented as a topgallant brig with a single spanker, one with only 20 guns? Surely I thought it would at least be a rated ship.
