On Homeworld Cataclysm, you're finally on Hiigara (i think it name is --The real homeworld--), and the enemy planets are rioting (because of your victory), etc, etc, etc, in the middle of this, a minning ship (your ship), encounters an ancient beacon, abandoned on space. The minning ship recovers the beacon and it awakens some sort of lifeform wich assimilates ships & it's crew (similar to the borg, but using nano mechanical viruses i think), so the thing (called the beast) start spreading and your old enemy tries to capture to use it as weapons, and you're on the middle of all this trying to destroy the creature before it consumes the galaxy.

We're the borg, lower your shields and surrender your ships, we will add your technological and biological distintiveness to our own your race will adapt to serve us, resistant is futile.

Isn't that precisely the Borg?

Not quite. I only played the demo, but the Cataclysm Beast was organic; more of a mold-spore, I think.

No really, the beast uses a beam that carries the nano-mechanical viruses to infect other ships, while the borg have to board the ships as far as i know.
