That episode was wild. Setting up the big bad monster for the federation to be fighting... then just forgetting all about them.
I vaguely recall reading years ago that they were intended to be the initial infiltrator wave of what eventually became the Borg forces. I could be mistaken, since it was around the pre-AOL days.
That info is out there for sure, but I've always found it pretty shaky. Here's what Memory Alpha has to say on the subject:
The "apparently" always trips me up, but maybe there's a more definitive statement or there that I haven't seen.
It certainly could be true.
It sounds like a post hoc connection to explain it away, rather than that being that actual intention. I assume we'll probably never know though.
The truth could be somewhere in the middle - no real intent, but instead just reworking an idea from the Discarded Ideas Drawer into something new.
I'll pop in my blu-rays after I get home from some appointments, see if I can verify anything from the special features.
I'll pop in my blu-rays too. See if they have any Star Trek on them that I can watch.
you know what they just might.
You guys find any Star Trek on your Blu-rays?
Not yet, here's something from YouTube I found to tide me over though.

Yes but only "Code of Honor" so far.
