The Borg is a fictional alien species from the Star Trek universe. They are a collective hive mind composed of countless interconnected individuals known as drones. The Borg are primarily known for their relentless pursuit of perfection through assimilation, seeking to assimilate other species and their technology into their collective.
David Denny has created a cool Borg Cube perfect for your Star Trek Roleplay.
When asked about the Borg Cube David explained,
"The Borg Cube is one of many Borg vessels. Others include tactical vessels, spheres, and probes designed in a semi-chaotic, organized manner, which actually has advantages in a tactical way. The Queen would have a ship of her own, a little different from this Cube, but I have included her in this one, which reflects the design of the well-known Borg Cube from Star Trek.
Inside this one, the big rotating cylinder at the center of the Borg Alcove Hall, is my idea of what a Transwarp Generator would look like. It also includes recharging alcoves for Borg 'drones', the Queen's chamber, and an assimilation and drone repair room. Another room is control for weapons and propulsion systems but generally, the Borg did not centralize anything and a weapons system could be accessed from many of the smaller terminals around the ship. The only centralized place is in fact the Queens Chamber.
Startrek always depicts the organized chaos of the Borg Machines as claustrophobic, dark, and dingy places. For the sake of building this I made this Cube a bit spacier. Best experienced in night mode and with Audio enabled to get the full effect."
We are Borg!!
The combination of a mountain desert with cabins and a cool mountain road provide a unique and picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy. There is a flaming wrecked pickup on the road, a crane and big rig. Perfect for RP!
This 3x3 has so many possiblities!
Explore a world of stone and timber houses that are reminiscent of a bygone age, given by Michael Cerquoni aka Nebadon Izumi Grid administrator of Avacon.

Medieval houses were typically made of wood, stone, or a combination of both materials. They were often built close together in tightly-packed neighborhoods, with narrow streets and winding alleys. The houses themselves were usually small and cramped, with multiple stories and steeply pitched roofs. Windows were small and few in number, with thick wooden shutters that could be closed to keep out the elements.
They are all here for your little Medieval village. Please find this OAR in your Outworldz free OAR list.

by David Denny 1x1 OAR, a perfect hideaway for pirates looking for a secure base to operate from. The fort is located on a remote island, surrounded by treacherous waters that are difficult for outsiders to navigate. The fort is heavily fortified, with high walls, lookout towers, to keep any enemy ships at bay. With its secluded location and impenetrable defenses, the Temple Island is the perfect pirate fort for pirates to rest, regroup, and launch attacks on unsuspecting ships passing by.

The beauty here is spellbinding. Lush flowers and nice touches throughout this Sim.
You will see giraffes, elephants and deer at peace with nature here too. A nice beach where you can explore and soak up the sun.
Island of Peace will be a place you yearn to return too each day, this is beautiful Marafado.
This is a lovely place to stroll and reflect about your day...
The Devil's Lair awaits you...
Thinking about the Devil and where he might reside has always been something to ponder. In our readings we learn he can dwell in the heavens and the earth. Darkness Papp created his vision of where the Devil resides... a remote island. A place of solitude.
Sandstone cave and tower where one can reflect and plan all his devilish deeds.
Secluded...haunting...elusive...a perfect habitat for the Devil.

Just in time for your holiday celebrating! Joe Builder has created a lovely snow themed sim with ice skating and snow skiing with ski lift, a beautiful lodge, outdoor fires and comfy chat areas. There is no need to worry about changing your summer themed regions over to snowy as this is already created for you.
Joe Builder's OARs are all brilliantly detailed, he
never skips on the details.
Joe applies textures beautifully on this Barrier Reef
...magenta, turquoise, various shades of green.
Darkness Papp has captured the spirit of the Halls of Stone, narrow passageways that lead you through a chasm of granite rock.
The entryway to the halls had huge stone doors that were closed and secured by magic.
The halls were just inside the eastern border of Mirkwood on the north bank of the Forest River, some miles upstream from Esgaroth. The great cave had many passages and wide halls and was more wholesome than the goblin tunnels in the Misty Mountains. While most of the Elves lived in the woods the king's halls served as his palace and treasure vault, and was also a fortress for the Elves in times of danger.

Even before Second Life began to be used across the University in 2007, groups in Business Studies, Education and Artificial Intelligence/Informatics had been exploring virtual worlds platforms for a range of collaboration, educational and research project uses. Platforms (now long gone) such as "There" and commercial virtual world simulators such as "Forterra" had been in use, and Second Life itself had been used even in its very earliest incarnation.
The following blog post indicates what Vue usage there has been of Virtual Worlds...
https://blog.inf.ed.ac.uk/atate/2018/04/27/virtual-worlds-technology-for-university-of-edinburgh/
The original Second Life Vue regions used from 2007 to 2019 are no longer maintained, but resources are available to use any available space in Second Life and a similar set of facilities are available on the OpenSimulator Platform and in some other experimental virtual worlds platforms...
OpenSim OAR (OpenSimulator Archive File) and terrain (.png and .f32 formats) for each region in the Vue "continent" as originally mounted on Second Life.
Extra OpenSim OARs and terrain files. Edinburgh is a variant of the Edinburgh Uplands region with "Edinburgh Castle" and "High Street" content that can stand alone. Sea-Vue is a simple region with only water and can be used for infill between other regions where useful.

Beorn lived in a wooden house on his pasture-lands between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, to the east of the Anduin. His household included an animal retinue (horses, dogs, sheep, and cows, among others); according to Gandalf, Beorn did not eat his cattle, nor hunt wild animals. He also grew large areas of clover for his bees.
Character Created By: J. R. R. Tolkien
When you rez this build, make sure your music is off, you will want to hear the sounds here. I hear, a billy goat, a wolf, and birds. A serene countryside estate with lush landscaping.
This lovely country cottage has beehives, horses grazing, bales of hay to feed them. Entering the cottage, from the garden area, you will see Great Danes to guard you, and a cow eating hay in the prep area of the cottage where you will bring in your produce from the fields to prepare them for your evening meals. Attached is a Dining area where you can enjoy your freshly picked harvest. I love this build very much; I think I will live here.
Fred Beckhusen has generously given this to his Outworldz DreamGrid community. It is the 217th OAR file he has given, thank you very much Fred.

a beautiful star shaped pool too. This is a palace fit
for a king! You will find it in the Outworldz free .oars drop-down list.

The peaceful, sheltered town of Rivendell was located at the edge of a narrow gorge of the river Bruinen, but well hidden in the moorlands and foothills of the Misty Mountains.
One of the main approaches to Rivendell passed through the nearby Ford of Bruinen.
Darkness Papp has captured the mood of the elves here. This is unbelievably beautiful! Here the elven temple majestically perched ontop of cascading falls
onto the cliffs below.
There is a wooden gazebo that awaits you on the other side of a storybook bridge.
Waterfalls at every vantage point, The surround that embraces this build lends to its mountain beauty here of the Misty Mountains, little cottages to make a comfy home.
Beautiful patio with fountains too. Breathtaking here.

Joe brought this story to life!
Fred Beckhusen's latest .oar release is Darkness Papp's BlackBeards Island a Pirate sim. It is a 4x4 and has seas for sailing and cozy island-you will see Dame Jenny's Parlor House and other suites for the weary traveler! Papp's builds are all very well created, thank you!
When it comes to darling sim .oar files Shirl produces them.
First impression of Shirl Tainted Angel's sim .oar files is all the love she put into creating these, you can feel it. The textures are so beautiful in these builds. Textures are difficult for me to get the right repeats down correctly and she has - this looks great! It is not just the repeats you need to understand, you also need to understand which texture is best suited for the build too, and she has. I remember first meeting Tainted Angel; she gave me a beautiful pink mansion, I adore her work. She also entered our Gingerbread house contest, and her Gingerbread house won!
Thank you Shirl Tainted Angel for what you give the Opensim community, it is great people like you that keep me here.
Heartland-Castle and Guesthouse-Nursery
Please find these .oars in your DreamGrid pull down list
Today I woke up early-excited to review the regions that Fred Beckhusen and Joe Builder put together by cutting up Joe's rather large Lost World Welcome region. I worked on loading the .oar files by downloading them from the Lost World server to my Con.tin.u.um server, then loading them to my test region to explore them. It was such a pleasure to review five new regions, and take images.
When they first rezzed it was really exciting to see what each .oar contained. Stadiums, lighthouses, beautiful tropical beaches and a go cart track with go cart. There were great items too. I found a gorilla and other animals, power poles with great wiring, aquarium dance floor, boxing ring. But the first .oar offered is Joe Buider's Arena.
Imagine Rome, c. AD 30. The most popular sport in Rome was chariot racing. It was so popular that larger and larger stadiums had to be built. It is claimed that the Circus Maximus in Rome had room for more than 350,000 spectators. Think of it! Spartacus! Gladiator!
Joe Builder created a stadium “Arena” where you can live out your dream of becoming a chariot racer! Upon arrival you are greeted by a sign to click to Rezz a chariot and race around the track.
A stadium built with spectators in mind! Room for a crowd to fill up your stands and roleplay a chariot race!
