STAR TREK: TNG “BORG DRONE COSTUME” FROM “DESCENT. PARTS I AND II”

A Borg drone costume featured in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Descent, Parts I and II”. The costume is a form fitting jumpsuit with multiple molded black rubber ‘body armor’ components that feature various Velcro connections and attachments with plastic tubing. The jumpsuit is a black thermal-underwear styled affair with attached feet, a zip up the spine, and a zippered inseam, perfect for affixing all of the molded features with heavy duty Velcro placements. The molded rubber ‘exo-plating’ armor is composed of items that wrap around the body and fasten through either belt or Velcro placements with multiple molded rubber raised accents to suggest technology. They comprise a wraparound for the thighs and shins, biceps and forearms, a torso covering that the wearer steps into and fastens by way of belt with Velcro, a chest armor piece, an abdomen armor piece, a set of shoulder plates, a set of neck tubes, a pair of gloves, and a pair of spats. Multiple loose items were located with the costume, several are Velcro backed for attachment to corresponding pieces that fill space and allow the armor to appear more covering. The costume pieces are labeled ‘Tafoya’ and a sewn in Star Trek TNG tag in the thermal jumpsuit is inscribed ‘Mr. A. Tafoya’. A second tag reads ‘Steve Lambert’. Adrian Tafoya is a recurring Star Trek background actor, Steve Lambert is a veteran Star Trek Stunt actor, and there is no indication as to when he performed in this under suit.
