Rather than being a missed opportunity, the lack of Borg in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine highlighted its key differences from other Berman era shows.
Although the Borg played a big part in the tragic backstory of Captain Benjamin Sisko , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine resisted the temptation to pit Sisko against the Borg, a decision that made the show better. The DS9 pilot, "Emissary" opened with a flashback to the Battle of Wolf 359, in which Starfleet first faced off against the Borg Collective, led by Locutus, the assimilated form of Captain Jean-Luc Picard .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Serving aboard the USS Saratoga, Sisko led the evacuation of the ship after it was swiftly neutralized by the Borg. Tragically, Sisko's wife Jennifer was killed in the attack, leaving the widowed Benjamin to raise his young son Jake . Sisko and Picard never resolved these issues, nor did Sisko ever get a chance to avenge the deaths of Jennifer and his Saratoga crew mates.
Sisko's enmity toward Picard also provided a parallel with the Bajoran people for whom he would become a religious figure. Emerging from decades of oppression by the Cardassian Union, there were many Bajorans who were unwilling to forget the violence and cruelty of the regime. The specter of Wolf 359 set up the division between the DS9 and TNG lead characters on the question of Bajor's entry into the Federation.
How Would A DS9 Borg Story Have Worked? As a space station, rather than a Galaxy-class starship, DS9 would require the assistance of Federation, and possibly Cardassian vessels to fight off a potential Borg incursion. Therefore, more creative approaches would need to be taken to tell a Borg story in DS9. The book Voyages of Imagination revealed that Robert Simpson and Marco Palmieri pitched a DS9 storyline that would reveal that Jennifer Sisko had been assimilated into the Collective.
A 30th-anniversary comic will tell a new DS9 story about Quark that finds him come into possession of a dog augmented with Borg technology. It will finally confront Sisko with his Borg backstory, but the comic plotline of Quark having a dog called Latinum also fits with the tone of DS9.
