The Borg is the ultimate user. They're unlike any threat your Federation has ever faced. They're not interested in political conquest, wealth or power as you know it. They're simply interested in your ship. Its technology. They've identified it as something they can consume.

(to Riker) Number One. (to Q) Eighteen of our people have died. Please, tell us that this is one of your illusions.
Oh, no. This is as real as your so-called life gets. [disappears]
