Tell me about the original design of The Enterprise?
No Air in Spacesubhead : The concept of the Borg cube
body : The writers wanted a shape that was completely non-aerodynamic, since there�s no atmosphere in space, shape is irrelevant. And it was a shape that would contain a large volume and just look ominous, and that�s where the cube came from. And then we came up with other forms of geometry, and the most elaborate was the Borg Queen Ship, which had kind of inverted pyramids � an hour glass with buttresses floating around it.
� In the case of the Borg Unimatrix, I took that idea and extended it into three dimensions, also taking into account the pragmatic nature of the Borg, that they build what they need without true regard to aesthetics. And so I imagined that they would have different utility modules for different operations, some might be communications, some might be reproduction, food processing, whatever. And so they would just kind of randomly add on as their culture grew and as the number of individuals in their population grew.
