The Voyager crew's first contact with the Borg came in the form of a disabled Borg cube and a group of former Borg living as a "cooperative" on the edge of the Nekrit Expanse. The Assist Cooperative mission recalls that encounter, and the assistance - albeit coerced - that the Voyager crew rendered.
Although it was Chakotay
who played a key role in the episode (which preceded "Scorpion" by half a season), in game terms this mission begs to be solved by Seven of Nine
. Not only can Seven of Nine meet the mission requirements all by herself, she also bears a 
icon, boosting the mission's points to 40. Ironically, the mission cannot be targeted by Assimilate Planet
.
The requirements are not this mission's only notable feature, however. As a planet mission, Assist Cooperative can help you broaden your Nekrit Expanse region while maintaining a balanced spaceline. The 
icon opens the mission to almost any deck, and Assist Cooperative is a fine location for a Nekrit Supply Depot
.
Combos:
- Assist Cooperative + Seven of Nine: Not only can Seven solve the mission alone for 40 points, but she can do this for any affiliation.
- Assist Cooperative + Catalog Phenomena
x4: Create for yourself a nice, wide region in the Delta Quadrant, full of missions with nicely redundant skill requirements. Just be sure you complete them before your opponent does.
