Borg cube
 A Borg cube orbiting Earth The archetype Borg cube is a variety of immense, cubic starship that functions as part of the Borg Collective. It was first seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Q Who?" upon the Borg's first contact with the Federation Starfleet in 2365. The cube appears to be the principal spacefaring unit of the collective, by far the Borg craft most often seen on-screen and the type of vessel used in both the Battles of Wolf 359 and Sector 001. Cubes are popularly believed to number in the millions or greater; although some Borg cubes are known to house less then 70,000, however identification numbers cited on-screen (e.g., 461, 630, and 1184) seem to indicate smaller numbers. These ships' low numbers may just be coincidence or may not be the ships' complete registries.

The design of a Borg cube is determined by the materials at hand and what is currently needed for a ship. The only unifying principles of design are a roughly cubical shape, a decentralized/generalized arrangement, a size of several thousand metres per edge, and a hosting of tens or hundreds of thousands of drones. Common capabilities of cubes include high warp (transwarp) capabilities, self-regeneration and multiply-redundant systems, rapid adaptability to almost every seen assault, and various beam (tractor beams and cutting beams) and missile weapons. Cubes have been known to carry sphere ships in cavities covered by large slide-away hatches in the outermost layers; however, it is unknown if this is common. The metre (Commonwealth English) or meter (American English) (symbol: m) is the SI base unit of length. ...

Two basic styles of cube have been seen. The first, seen in The Next Generation, had an outer layer composed of a thin, mostly perpendicular framework of greebles, allowing a yellowish glow to emanate from within. The second, seen in Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Voyager, has a more solid-looking exterior with perpendicular and diagonal greebling, and less of a noticeable green inner light, possibly indicative of a new assimilated technology or a new tendency to employ more physical armor in protecting cubes. (In actuality, the differences between the two types are due to enhanced detailing and use of computer-generated imagery between series.) Perpendicular is a geometric term that may be used as a noun or adjective. ...

Borg cubes are as powerful as they are immense, with a single cube being capable of annihilating entire fleets of advanced (e.g., Federation Starfleet) ships, and are matched by few others (i.e., "Species 8472").

Borg probe Episode: VOY 211- Dark Frontier, Part I
A small oblong-shaped Borg vessel about half the size of an Intrepid-class Federation starship, with about the same amount of firepower, capable of transwarp speeds. In the fictional universe of Star Trek, the warp drive is a form of faster-than-light (FTL) propulsion. ...
In 2375, a Borg probe confronted the U.S.S. Voyager in an attempt to assimilate the ship and its crew. Voyager fought back, and at one point during the battle the probe was forced to remodulate its shields. During this vulnerable moment, Voyager beamed a photon torpedo aboard the probe which detonated near the power matrix. The explosion caused a chain reaction which completely destroyed the vessel.
The probe left behind eight kilotons of debris, from which Voyager salvaged a variety of equipment game series.including two power nodes, 12 plasma conduits and what appeared to be an auto-regeneration unit made of some kind of lightweight polytrinic alloy. Also found was a servo-armature from a Medical Repair Drone, which included a laser scalpel, biomolecular scanner and micro-suture all rolled into one instrument. A transwarp coil was recovered, but it had self-destructed beyond repair by fusing its field regulator (per Borg protocol when a vessel is critically damaged).
Also salvaged from the debris were a couple of data nodes which contained tactical information that Voyager used to locate a disabled Borg scout ship and plan a "heist" of a working transwarp coil.
The probe is referred to as the "Interceptor" in the Star Trek: Armada Star Trek: Armada is a computer game published by Activision, based upon the Star Trek universe. ...
Borg Queen's ship: "diamond" The Borg Queen uses this ship to direct all Borg operations. This ship is contained within the Unicomplex, the Borg's base of operations. The weaponry of this ship includes both fore and aft torpedo launchers. Only in the event of an emergency will the Borg launch this ship, making onscreen appearances rare. Like the Borg cube it can travel at transwarp speeds, allowing it to outrun its enemies if needed.

Borg scout The Borg scout ship is cubical in shape but considerably smaller than its counterpart, the Borg cube. The Borg scout ship is only 2.5 million metric tons in mass, several metres in length, width and depth, and holds a crew of five. A Borg scout ship was found by the crew of the Enterprise-D on a moon in the Argolis cluster in the episode "I, Borg" (TNG).

Borg sphere The sphere ship was first seen in the movie Star Trek: First Contact, where it was stored within a Borg cube ship under a large slide-away hatch and used as an escape vessel upon the destruction of the cube. The sphere was later seen to be capable of time travel. It is unknown if other sphere ships are commonly carried aboard cubes or commonly possess time travel capabilities, although that particular Sphere probably had temporal drive installed for its mission. It was later found in ST:ENT in Regeneration in the Artic.

Borg spheres were also seen in several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager whenever the USS Voyager crew encountered the Borg. It appeared that they were being used as scout ships, perhaps a detachment from a larger Borg cube.
In the Star Trek: Armada game series, they are depicted as light cruisers.

Borg tactical cube The Borg tactical cube ship is a variant of the standard Borg cube with the additions of large, solid pieces of armor attached to the exterior.

Rogue Borg ship In late 2369, in the two-part TNG episode "Descent", a group of rogue Borg began attacking Federation outposts and colonies in several outlying sectors with a new type of vessel, informally known as the rogue Borg ship. This unusual design was asymmetrical, totally unlike the previously encountered Borg cube. However, the vessel was still heavily armed and massively armored, and capable of great destructive power.

Symmetry is a characteristic of geometrical shapes, equations and other objects; we say that such an object is symmetric with respect to a given operation if this operation, when applied to the object, does not appear to change it. ...
Only one ship of this type has been observed; the ship attacked the research outpost on Ohniaka III, as well as the MS-1 colony, using previously-unknown transwarp conduits to appear suddenly over the target and launch a quick attack.
A schematic variant of this design was briefly seen in the Star Trek: Voyager episode ""Scorpion, Part 2", which recounted the brief alliance between the Voyager crew and the Borg in their fight against Species 8472. Referred to as a "multikinetic neutronic mine", the drone Seven of Nine proposed it to Captain Janeway as a high-yield weapon for delivering enhanced nanoprobes after having deemed Starfleet photon torpedoes insufficient.
