Since Ship of Heroes is not shy about promoting itself as “superheroes meets Star Trek,” it stands to reason that the Borg would somehow get tossed into the mix, too.
In Ship of Heroes, the Borg are actually the Prometheans, a faction of deadly cyborgs that were created when a scientist combined magic and cybernetics to great effect. It worked well enough until, you know, the killings began.
The dev team said that it’s not slacking off in its design for this faction: “The manufactured arms, legs, eyes, etc. of the Prometheans were all created specifically for Ship of Heroes. Â For example, a player can see through the legs of the Promethean Firebrand below because her legs are sophisticated props — we did not begin with human legs and just dunk her lower body in cyber paint and call it good.”
