A cubic kilometer (km3) was a unit of volume defined as a cube measuring one kilometer on each side.
Comparative list of volumes[]
- 28 cubic kilometers: The Borg cube encounter by the USS Raven measured twenty-eight cubic kilometers in volume and was populated by one hundred and twenty-nine thousand Borg drones. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
Taking the cube root of this volume would indicate that each side of the Borg cube would measure just over three kilometers.
- 80 cubic kilometer: The destruction of the Vostigye space station created a debris field encompassing nearly eighty cubic kilometers of space. (VOY: "Real Life")
- 20 million cubic kilometers: Later, while charting the Arachnid Nebula, the Vulcan Tolaris later told Captain Jonathan Archer that he was "eager to get back to work" because they still had another twenty million cubic kilometers to chart. (ENT: "Fusion")
