There will also be many non-playable races or neutral races which can be found on maps or hired as mercenaries, like
Ferengi
Hirogen
Kazon
Cardassian
Malon
...
whatever you can think of... but that all needs time of course ;-)

maquis, whiped out by the dominion
nausican, it's a very minor race in the federation why bother.
ferengi possibly.
cardassian possibly

all delta races: why would they be in the alpha quadrant?

Who said FO had to be set just in the Alpha Quadrant. In fact, there's lots of scope for a campaign set in the Delta Quadrant. I've been brainstorming a Delta campaign myself, and i was planning to show it to the team when it was done.

Remember Unimatrix Zero? According to Voyager, lots of drones were leaving the collective, and with the loss of a transwarp hub, the Borg would be in a pretty sad state of affairs. If someone happened to have invented two new delta quadrant races (*whistles innocently to self*)) them those, coupled with canon threats (such as Species 8472) would force the Borg to do somthing totally unexpected, fight for their very survival.

Then of course theres the Beta and Gamma Quadrants. The Romulans and Klingons have never liked one another, Toral is still around, and i'm sure i'm not the only one that would love to see the Borg invade the Dominon.

ok.. well if all those races are put into the game then i don't think it will improve the gaming experiance alot.

besides, can you recognise a naussican npc ship? i never seen one

well for the hirogen you could say that after generations of hunting a few vessels could have made it into the alpha quadrant. the kazon.....erm..er..hmmm.
the nausicans i like cos they could be made as an agressive variant of the ferengi who attack and steal your vessels instead of just running off with derelict ones. new npc races is a good idea i think ^_^ why so negative roach?

oh yeah forgive me if im wrong but does the marquis include the bajoran resistance. or were they just on the same side against the cardassians??

If the Borg are fighting for their survival, than that hardly means that they can invade anyone
But borg vs dominion would be a great battle thats true

and I think maquis doesnt include bajoran resitance, the maquis showed up when the feds and cardies signed that treaty about their new borders and a few planets got stranded on the cardie side So they are feds citizens fighting their agressors

About the NPCs, put in as much as possible, of course that means more developement time, but what the hell

i reckon that the borg would send a couple of vessels out to assimilate some races in the hope that new technology would be found to help them survive. obviously if they are fighting for survival, current technology isn't enough for them so they would want to go assimilate something that would be of much greater potential

That is correct, but taking into account their assimilation and adaptation abilities (which give the Borg an almost godlike skill of surviving pretty much anything that's thrown at them) i suspect that they would quickly adapt to the threats in the Delta quadtrant and concentrate on crippling threm to a controllable level, before turning their attention back to being a gelactic annoyance.

On the case of the Marquis, they are not Bajoran resistance, but i suspect they have great sympathy from the resistance due to their common enemy and nature, and thus gain many Bajoran members. Though according to canon the Marquis were all but wiped out by the Jem'Hadar, there is a good chance that some survived, and rebuilt their networks with new recruits. Another theory which my sister devised is that the Marquis elements on Voyager, or other groups, would forn a new Marquis from the ashes.

They needed the help of voyager, because they couldnt assimilate species 8472 and so couldnt adapt to them
Also if they were fighting the rebel borg, its also hard to even locate their enemy not to mention to defeat them. Sure they are strong when u compare them with other species, but when u are fighting your own kind, there is no tech advantage, and they cant assimilate them again. So it all comes down to strategy, at which borg pretty much suck at

True, unless they adapted via other means. For instance, if they created a drone that was an individual, but conditioned for loyalty to the collective and linked to it, then the collective would be capable of generating new strategies and tactics to help deal with the greatest theats without the need for assimilation. Such an idea would stem from seeing Voyager, a bunch of pathetic individuals, managing to tackle a problem that even the collective couldn't handle.

We were shown in the movie first contact that the Queen wanted another individual mind with her in the collective, so this is not such a far-fetched theory.

why would the borg be fighting for survival against rebel borg. i think it would be the other way round: rebel borg fighting for their survival as for strategy, well they kind of think like machines so it may be easy to trick them once but don't forget that they have a knack for adapting, to weapons and tactics. they needed voyagers help with 8472 because to adapt they need to analyse something, i.e assimilate it. i dont think there is another species out there (short of Q) that has 8472's level of resistance to the borg. i highly doubt that the jemhadar will be any more resistance than say the klingons,(say what you want about the klingons but they are remarkably resilient physically)

well i don't think the rebel borg are in big numbers i mean think of it if you where borg, what is the first thing you would do? That is right go to home and forget about the borg as much aspossible as it should have been quite traumatic. Als i don't think there is enough rebel borg to crumble the Borg. also it is noted that that call of the collective is very luring as it was seen in the episode where a borg was formed from the mobile emitter and some dna.

as it seems that a couple of nanites can make a borg if needed to i am also sure that the nanites have some overriding protocols if they a borg and rebel borg are fighting. if not, then i think they are as adaptive enough to find something for it.

do not underestimate the borg
