Species 8472
Species 
8472 are the only species known to the Federation that are capable of resiting naturally Borg because.
Species 8472 arrived in this dimension from fluidic space; a dimension that is not made up from space but, rather, from organic matter. Individual members of Species 8472 have five limbs; two arms and three legs, indents in their heads, and have strong telepathic skills. When the Federation first encountered Species 8472 (found in the Delta Quadrent by Captain Katherine Janeway of the Starship Voyager), Species 8472 were at war with the Borg.
The Borg started the war by trying to assimilate 8472. The Borg were temporarily allied with Voyager, and together they drove Species 8472 back to their own dimension by altering Borg nanoprobes to essentially eat Species 8472 from the inside. They are approx 3 meters tall extremely muscular and genetically superior.
The Borg believes them to be the perfect form of biological life. Species 8472s immune system can destroy any foreign contaminants biological chemical or technical. Their DNA is arranged in a triple helix formation and is the most densely coded DNA ever discovered by star fleet. Their immune system can even be used as a weapon. If cornered they use their claws allowing species 8472's cells to come into contact with a victim where they infect every system and consume it from the inside out.
In addition if threatened they can commit suicide by releasing a cellular toxin into their bloodstream they emit a bio-genetic field around their bodies; this field renders them nearly invisible to sensors, making it impossible to pinpoint their exact location. This field also interferes with normal transporters. Exactly how this bio-genetic field is created is unknown.
Physiologically, species 8472 is non-humanoid. They are able to withstand the vacuum of space. It is probable that in fluidic space they are able to swim through the organic matter similar to their ships, which share their unique physiology. They communicate exclusively via telepathy. Kes was able to make contact with species 8472 while they where in conflict with the Borg; they vowed that "the weak will perish".
With their dense musculature and increased height, species 8472 posses’ great flexibility and can move faster than either humanoids or Borg. They are able to penetrate force fields and rip through bulk heads with apparent ease. They have very little soft tissue and much of their skeleton is exposed, particullary around the neck. Species 8472 does appear to have nostrils suggesting a sense of smell; but posses only a very small mouth and no ears, and have distinctive croos shaped pupils.
They appear purple or green depending on the lighting. It is unknown if they always lived in fluidic or they were dumped there by their creators known as the phobians, little is known about them only that they created 8472 to fight their enemies. The bioships used by species 8472 are very advanced and share their unique genetic make up.
They are living organic vessels capable of warp speed, and very heavily armed and shielded. Inside the floor and walls appear to look like flesh; spider web like is used instead of EPS system. The structural supports are made of bone. The ships computer is similar to a nervous system and uses neropeptides. The ships are native to fluidic space and are able to function in organic matter of fluidic space as well as in normal space they are also equipped to detect pressure waves created when a vessel enters fluidic space.
A bioship carries one crewman as its pilot; its hull is resistant to conventional wepeons, including Borg assimilation, sensory scans and tractor beams. The bioships are armed with energy beam weapons. Although the beam appears less coherent than either Starfleet or Borg weapons, it is able to inflict greater damage; Voyager was knocked off course by a beam that just missed it. Nine bioships can combine their firepower to form a planet killer. It is unknown whether bioships evolved naturally in fluidic space or whether they were engineered to fit their purpose. It is believed the ships were designed and created by a race called the phobians, who used the ships for war, hence why the ships are so powerful and advanced. It is speculated that Species 8472 overpowered their creators. However, it is unknown whether fluidic space is the natural relm of species 8472, or whether they were sent there against thier will. Species 8472 open quantum singularites in order to enter what we consider 'real space'. At present, Species 8472 are allied with the federation.

Note: we need to change all incorrect spellings of Janeway's name.
