Cascaders
The Cascaders are a race of cyborg aliens native to alt.cascade. They were created by Jef Kolodziej and first appeared in The CrossOver Caper.
History
When they first appeared, they were lead by a mysterious shadowy figure, which was eventually revealed to be Obscure Trivia Lad's fellow android Obscure Lore Lad.
Powers and Abilities
They fly around in cube-shaped ships – specifically, cubes with nine colored squares on each side, of six different colors[1]. They have the ability to act as one unified mind, maintained by continuous subspace email, and try to assimilate people into their collective; however, this makes them collectively vulnerable to flamewars. They can spout off rhymes for "assimilate" for hours.
Context
The Cascaders are, of course, parodies of the Borg from Star Trek.
