If you could make your own Star Trek series...

[Lt. Staplic]

It'd be strained but i could see it.
Romulans offer to help the Borg finally assimalate the humans, maybe even a few of their own people (political prisoners), in exchange, Romulans get terratorial claim over the Federation's space.

Though, they'd have to have some kind of fail safe to keep the borg from simply assimilating them to get their knowledge of fed defences. Kind of like how Janeway made the agreement with the Borg free passage in exchange for tech to help defeat species 8472

[Captain Seafort]

The problem is that the Romulans have absolutely nothing to offer the Borg that the Borg couldn't simply take if they wanted to. Moreover, if the Borg did manage to assimilate the Federation that would give them a base of operations in the Alpha Quadrant that they would likely then expand out from to assimilate the other local powers - including the Romulan Star Empire.

One word: Quantum

Nah, the whole idea of Borg/Romulan is just crap. The Borg don't work with anyone unless they have too, and in this case they don't have to.

[Reliant121]

If you think about it, the borg have hundreds if not thousands of cubes. If they were truly serious about invading the AQ, they'd send a large amount of their fleet. Nothing would stop such a large number in truth, or it'd take ALOT to do so.

Which is why I don't like Shatner's book The Return.

[Lt. Staplic]

I don't think it could seriosly happen either, unless the Romulans had something which is what a failed to get accoss in my above post. Even if the alliance was formed, it would be increadably tense as both sides would be looking for a way to cross the other.

[Teaos]

The Borg dont make alliances. They backed out of the deal with Voyager the second they could.

The Borg wpuldnt help the Romulans. The Romulans wouldnt trust the Borg.

[Lt. Staplic]

that's kind of what i'm saying.
The only difference is that i can see both sides agreeing in the beginning, thinking that they'd be able to pull the best double-cross and take it all for themselves.

[Teaos]

I'd wonder how the Romulans could ever think they could double cross the Borg...

[Lt. Staplic]

well if you look cocky, arrogant, or overly self-assured up in a dictionary, there'll be a picture of a romulan there.

[Deepcrush]

I thought that was the Chakat?

[Lt. Staplic]

they thought about it when they made the dictionary, but they, like us, didn't want him anywhere near their product.

Instead he's in the thesaurous for the phrase: beating-around-the-bush.

[Sionnach Glic]

The Borg only allied with Voyager because they were facing destruction. If they were winning the war, or even if 8472 was evenly matched with them, then they'd have blown VOY apart the moment they spotted it. They'd never be in such a situation against the AQ powers. As such, there'd be absolutely no reason to ally with the Romulans.

[Mikey]

The Romulans may be cocky, but I don't think that they're stupid. The only possible benefit from allying with the Borg (assuming the Borg would even accept it) would be that they'd kill you last.
