As I said on another part of the forum I was on a two week holiday to Japan. But I'm back now...

Makes me think there should be a whole separate forum: holidays and uncontactables: 'post here if you will temporarily be unreachable for a duration of time 
'
On second thought, that's not such a good idea.. oh well

You're probably familiar with this site, but it occurs to me that it has a whole bunch of ready made pedia entries.
Here is an example for the Borg:
Origin: Delta Quadrant. A cybernetic life-form thousands of years old which is part organic, part artificial life. They have advanced well beyond Federation science, unknown prior to a confrontation with the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D arranged by the entity known as "Q" circa stardate 42761 ( 2365) some 7,000 light-years past explored Federation space in the Delta Quadrant.
The Borg have a singular goal, namely the consumption of technology, rather than wealth or political expansion as most species seek.
According to their spokesman, in the form of an assimilated Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Borg only want to "raise the quality of life" of the species they "assimilate." (See "Best of Both Worlds") Androids, for example, they view as primitive and obsolete. Born humanoid, they are almost immediately implanted with bio-chips that link their brains to a collective consciousness via a unique subspace frequency emitted by each drone.
This collective consciousness is experienced by the Borg as "thousands" of voices — they are collectively aware, but not aware of themselves as separate individuals. Consequently, they never speak in singular pronouns, referring to themselves when required as merely "Third of Five," for instance.
The Borg ingest only energy to drive their technological system via an energy conduit port. Their bio-chips synthesize any organic nutrients needed. Among the many advantages their collective consciousness affords them, the Borg hive-mind allows for instantaneous adaptations to shield and phaser frequency modulations in combat; they are also able to regenerate and repair their massive cube ship with the power of their collective thoughts alone.
The hive-mind drones do not register as individual life-signs when scanned, only as a mass reading and then at a bare minimum. The sick and injured are not healed but "reabsorbed" by the removal of the receiver piece, which leads to self-destructive dissolve.
When shipboard during dormancy in their regenerative mode, power is minimal and the vessel's EM field cuts off. They have a knock-out drug or procedure for humans, using a drill-tap placed behind the left ear, that works immediately but wears off in less than a minute.

Thats a nice short racial description for the Borg. Good job.

But wouldn't they mind their use here?...

It appears to be a fan site, much like this one; permission could be sought if it troubles anyones conscience, but I doubt that there are copyright issues - it's not as if you are publishing it for financial gain.

You're welcome - this project interests me. I have no modding skills, but I'd be willing to help out in any way that I could.

It's the official Star Trek website. Personally I prefer Memory Alpha.

I look at it this way, anyplace we can get good references for civ entries is a good thing. So StarTrek.com can be a place for information. BUT, and there is always a but,
I will keep an eagle's eye out for the crap that contradicts Gene and his work.

And the civilized version of said species entry.

^The Borg are a race of cybernetic beings - part organic, part machine - originating from the Delta Quadrant. Perhaps one of the most feared races in the galaxy, the Borg exist as a hive mind, many working as one. They have one fixed goal: the assimilation of other worthy beings and technologies into the Collective.
