The Borg octahedron[3] was a 24th century Borg starship type in Borg Collective service in the 2370s decade. The Borg Queen's ship served as the Borg Queen's personal flagship and was integrated into Primary Unicompplex in the year 2375. (VOY episode: "Dark Frontier")
In the 25th century, the Borg octahedron was a heavily armed dreadnought class of vessels. The Borg Queen could upload herself to such a vessel and take another once it was destroyed. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Hive Onslaught")
History and specifications[]
24th century[]
The Starfleet ship USS Voyager was the first Federation vessel to encounter this type of Borg ship. The Borg Queen's vessel was destroyed in 2375. It was detachable from the queen's unicomplex and equipped with a transwarp engine. (VOY episode: "Dark Frontier")
Following this encounter it was unknown to Starfleet if this vessel had been unique. This ship was of uncertain size but larger than a Federation Intrepid-class starship and smaller than a Borg cube, and potentially smaller than a Borg sphere. (TOSC Issue 109: "Borg Queen's Ship")
In 2376, Borg diamonds were small starships of this design that served as science vessels. (ST video game: Armada)

The Borg Queen could transfer her consciousness between vessels of this class. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Hive Onslaught")
In 2410, a Borg octahedron controlled by the Borg Queen engaged in a three-way fight with a Voth Citadel-class and an Undine Tethys-class dreadnought. (STO - Task Force Operation mission: "Borg Disconnected")
