You're right about the Borg Phalanx thing, I was referring to the hive-mind concept in Sci-fi. It's been around forever! Star Trek TNG rarely had a new thought, SF wise, just painted characters on established SF themes/premises.
Conquest appears to be doing that with such blatancy, it is part of the tale. Homage, if you will. Personally, I'm enjoying the hello out of it!
