Species 8472

The properly unidentified Aliens was first encountered by the Borg in 2373 in the Delta Quadrant. Species 8472 is not like any other organic specie because they come from a realm why there is only  bio-matter and fluid. They are able to enter normal space by entering a spatial anomaly known as a Quantum Singularity. They have a cold hatred for those in normal space they pose a threat to all races. The Borg waged war with this specie when they entered their space. What the Borg didn't know is that Species 8472 has one of the most powerful immune systems and that any micro scoping organism that penetrates their bodies is instantly destroyed including Nano-probes that's why its impossible to assimilate them. They are impervious to 24th Century Technology (tractors, transport and sensors).
