Our writer and myself would like to hear about crew you would like to see who either are Borg, Engineered or Borg adjacent - thank you!

We don't have many borg drones in game (aside from one and 5). There are lots of options there and I don't have an opinion, but I think some representation of TNG, Lore's Rogue Drones, voy borg drones would be nice.
I'll let myself out.

There are probably also more Unimatrix Zero character options we don't have yet.
Borg adjacent...... V'ger? Arguably too powerful, but then Kevin Uxbridge and the Q are given stats....
Excretus of Borg would definitely be a popular choice.
I'd pay serious money for Trelane of Borg
Gav
Strictly in show, an assimilated Magnus and/or Erin Hansen seem like reasonable choices. Or perhaps Admiral Hansen (any relation?) who fought the Borg at Wolf 359.
Crosis, the Borg that brings Data to Lore in Descent seems like someone you could do something with.
I'll pay you five bucks if you give me a 1 star Borg Baby from Q Who
My top Borg suggestions:
Assimilated Rooney (ENT: Regeneration)
Crosis (TNG: Descent)
Orum (VOY: Unity)
Lansor (VOY: Survival Instinct)
Marika Wilkarah (VOY: Survival Instinct)
Second Icheb (VOY: Collective)
General Korok (VOY: Unimatrix Zero, Part II)
Ramdha (PIC: The End is the Beginning)
Workforce Seven (VOY: Workforce)
Expect some Engineered suggestions soon-ish!
Borg-adjacent crew could include Joe Travis, nurse Martinez, and other Enterprise-E crew from First Contact. Gegis, Yeggie, and Nunk, the Ferengi who tried to steal Seven's nanoprobes, would of course be hilarious. Arturis, survivor of a Borg attack and designer of the fake ship Dauntless, could pair with the ship in a skirmish event.
Engineered crew should include Hannah Bates and the other Moab IV folks, Patrick's friends Jack & Lauren and their "handler" Karen Loews, and maybe the Suliban Sarin.
Also, how about this for Borg Adjacent:

Too easy.
Borg Dax
No reason they can’t assimilate non-humanoids. Trek needs more Brain-In-The-Jar stuff.
I don't think we have the voyager queen.
There are a few choices from First Contact.
Specifically assimilated crew from the Enterprise, still wearing uniform, or part uniform.
There's the only Lily comments about, Picard says the name.
Also this.
I'll throw in another vote for them, they're more interesting than plain old drones. And please no originals, we really don't need Assimilated Sulu or Neelix or whatever.
There's also Infected Future Janeway (or Vice Adirmal Janeway) from the Voyager finale. But I'd also echo the other Borg from the Unimatrix One episodes; bunch of interesting characters there.
There is also:
Non-canonical-but-already-existing Borg @Pancakes alluded to that I'd get a kick out of:
[*] Probably impossible to code but maybe even a special FBB-focused ability that does more damage the more of your fleetmates are attacking at the same time?
Though to be honest I half-suspect they can't use George Murdock in game, or we'd already have a "what does he need with a starship?" Sha-ka-ree "God" 5* card.
Ensign Lynch.
The relevant lines are:
Oh my, Jean Luc, it's one of your uniforms.
Yes, this was Ensign Lynch.
Though luck uh.
We already have three characters from this scene, and could use them as bonus crew.
FA Locutus
Rescued Locutus
Hugh from Descent Pt II
Excretus
Merged Borg Queen/Jurati
Think practical please. The Originals collection increases in steps of two, and has great rewards.
Timelines Original Assimilated Khan?
