Borg Queen, also known as The Beginning, The Borg, The End, The One Who is Many and The Queen, is a character from the Star Trek series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Borg Queen was the name of the entity that existed within and served as the queen of the Borg Collective. An ancient being, the Queen has existed for many hundreds of years. In the event of her body's destruction, she would appear to be reincarnated with her personality and memories intact.
The Borg Queen was a supremely lethal and highly intelligent being. She was a calm and iron-wrought leader of the Borg empire, but beneath this serenity sat a sadistic, cruel and relentless lust for power and dominance over whatever planet and species she encountered. She also had a xenophobic, elitist and Social-Darwinist view over other organic life forms, viewing them as only fit to either be destroyed or assimilated to her vast ranks. She also referred to herself as 'The Borg' in a narcissistic way, meaning that she was the dominant species in the galaxy, not the leader of the dominant species of the galaxy. These traits are textbook demonstrations of a calculating megalomaniac.
Two decades after suffering catastrophic defeat at the hands of Admiral Janeway, the Borg Queen collaborated with a rogue faction of Changelings to rebuild her collective and take revenge upon the Federation. Her final scheme was thwarted by her old enemy, Jean-Luc Picard, and she was killed once and for all by the USS Enterprise-D, bringing an end to the threat of the Borg.

== Trivia ==
* The appearance of the Borg Queen in First Contact was a controversial one in the Star Trek universe. Though the Borg provided for a threatening and intriguing alien enemy, their lack of a single villain presented a challenge for the writers. To counter this, and to expand some on the original notion of the Borg as an insect-hive type of race, they created the Borg Queen as a focal point for their story.
* In 2002, the Borg Queen was placed second in TV Zone's list of the top twenty science fiction television villains.
* Consequently, many different theories have developed over the role of the Queen and the extent to which the Borg Queen may have represented a hierarchical structure in the previously supposed-to-be Collective nature of the Borg. The exact nature of the Queen is still hotly debated and has many possible explanations. When Data asked her about this in First Contact, she openly denied simply controlling the Collective, and said that she was the Collective, and claimed to "bring order to chaos" when Data tried to get a clearer explanation. He considered her response "interesting, if cryptic".
** One theory regarding the creation of a Queen is that "queens" are members of a specific race, one that was chosen because its females exhibited superior higher-order brain processing-speed, and were therefore assimilated and bred for that purpose.
* Alice Krige suffered much discomfort throughout the movie. The Borg Queen costume was too tight, causing blisters, and the silver contacts she had to wear were so painful, they could only be kept in for four minutes at a time.
* The writers of Star Trek: Enterprise planned to address the backstory of the Borg Queen in its fifth season. However, the series was cancelled before this could be realized.
