The Borg sphere was first seen in action by the Federation during the Sector 001 battle. The last act of the Borg cube destroyed in that battle was to launch a sphere which generated a temporal vortex, allowing it to travel into the year 2063 in order to prevent the formation of the Federation.
The Sovereign class Enterprise-E followed the sphere through the vortex, and observed it firing some form of low yield weapon on Earth. The Enterprise fired a volley of quantum torpedoes at the ship and succeeded in destroying it, although some Borg drones where able to beam aboard the Enterprise and begin assimilating it. The wreckage of the sphere crashlanded on Earth, where it lay undiscovered in a polar region until 2153, when a survey vessel investigating the site revived one of the Drones. The Drone subsequently assimilated the survey team and attempted to return to Borg space. Fortunately the ship was destroyed by the NX-01 during the journey.
Subsequent to this, USS Voyager has encountered spheres on several occasions. The crew of Voyager stole a transwarp coil from a tactical sphere to assist in their attempt to reach home, and were nearly assimilated by another sphere in 2375. During the ship's trip back to the alpha quadrant through a transwarp conduit, Voyager was captured by a sphere which it subsequently destroyed from within.
The spheres appear to be smaller more numerous vessels than the dreaded Borg cubes. It is possible that they are built in various specialist configurations, but given the nature of the Borg it is more likely that the spheres are able to quickly adapt themselves to whatever mission is to hand. The relatively limited armament and defensive capability of the spheres suggest that at least some are normally configured for more scientific or scouting roles. The data above reflect Starfleet projections of a normal sphere's combat capability, and are highly speculative.
The arrival home of USS Voyager with its ex-Borg crewmember, Seven of Nine, has likely provided a bonanza of information concerning the collective. For the moment Starfleet is not releasing any new information it might have.
