On the Origins of the Borg is a level 56 Romulanisch mission in Star Trek Fleet Command set in Immortal space.

It is picked up in Lyklaset and needs warp 230 to start and to complete. There are four objectives and no fights. The reward is 310 3 Hour Speed Ups, a Romulan Immortal Datapad, 800 Romulan Credits and 2,900,000 Romulan Points, and finishing it unlocks Evolution.
On the Origins of the Borg objectives
Mokik has spent his career studying the Borg and wants to know how a collective that only grows by assimilation first came to exist. He asks for a first-hand tour to help with his thesis, which shares the mission’s name.
- Escort the anthropologist to Borg Space. Location: Alpha Sector.
- Go deeper into Borg space. Location: ZA-87B.
- Examine a Borg station. Location: Zytallis.
- Return Mokik to Immortal Space. Location: Lyklaset.
Along the way Mokik contrasts the Borg’s unity with the near-anarchy of Immortal society, and wonders aloud what the Immortals could achieve by learning from the Borg. Your ship’s AI calls that a dangerous line of thinking. At the Borg station in Zytallis he gathers far more Daten than he expected, and back in Lyklaset he hints that his research will change the galaxy. There is no choice split.
