"Limits each non-Borg report with crew action to four total personnel/equipment."

Since this refers to "Borg" and not specifically the affiliation, how does this work with Borg species that aren't affiliation?

The glossary has one entry that seems to be applicable:

non-Federation, non-[Fed] – A non-[Fed] Away Team, crew, or force is one that contains no cards.

This seems to imply that the mere presence of just ONE card makes a crew .

Blame Worf, because he's the root cause of the "affiliation and species" mess that would require a lot of errata to clean up properly.
