Species 10026 was the designation for a species that was assimilated by the Borg in 2375. Their civilization's homeworld had 392,000 individuals and advanced spacecraft. The inhabitants of that world sent their vessels to intercept the Borg when they began assimilation. At first Species 10026 used a modulating phaser pulse to successfully damage the Borg attackers. With Seven of Nine's help, the Borg Queen triaxilated the Borg ship's shield geometry to absorb the pulses, thus ending the chances of a defense for the species.
