Notes
The Brunali (Species 10026) have suffered many attacks by the Borg over the past decade. There is a Borg transwarp conduit less than one light year from the Brunali homeworld. The Borg are shown assimilating the Brunali in the episode "Dark Frontier". The Brunali genetically engineered Icheb with anti-Borg pathogens, and put him on a shuttle headed for the conduit to be assimilated. Once he was assimilated, he would infect the Borg. This is what destroyed the children's cube in the episode "Collective". After Voyager leaves orbit, Icheb's parents send him back to the conduit. Voyager returns and saves Icheb at the last minute from a Borg sphere.
