    I think something like a Bismuth crystal would have had the “arbitrary square” aspect they were going for, but would also have allowed that the cube might need to grow in any direction and light kit always come out perfectly cubic at all times. I think this would have been somewhat ideal.

    Bit from Tron must’ve been assimilated in the Collective’s infancy.

    Wanted a design here for the Companion Cube. One of them is close, and it would be so appropriate.

    And now my head canon includes the companion cube and GladOS being what eventually evolves into the Borg.

    Top right looks a little bit like the Cylon mothership from Battlestar Galactica.

    Cubes make the most sense, they’re easy to add onto, unlike a sphere, and easy to navigate within.

      Anything built out of Tetrahedrodes

      You could break off part of the ship and leave it for the enterprise to step on. Think of the damage (500d4+3)

    They assimilate technological and biological distinctness… but apparently not stylishness, if they stuck with that whole cube thing.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’
