Everyone's all like "but the Death Star destroys planets". Yeah, but they'd have to hit the Borg cube - significantly smaller and way more maneuverable. In the end, it comes down to how easy Empire tech is to assimilate. If it comes to a fire fight, we all know storm troopers can't target for shit.
They only can't hit protagonists.
The Borg's better play would be a couple of spheres. Too small to be hit by the Death Star's main weapon, and should be able to tank any fighters sent after them. Probably the surface turbo lasers, as well.
The Borg only need to get within transporter range. Once they have a few drones on board and start assimilating at an exponential rate, it's over.
1500 M is big enough to hit with the main weapon. Mon Calamari Cruisers are only 1200 M in length and the DS 2 blows up two of those and a medical frigate which is even smaller, in the battle of Endor
Also while the design team on First Contact made that sphere 1500 M in diameter, they are listed in the tech manuals as being 3000 M in size.
Yes. How long until the Borg are firing turbo lasers? Then, it's definitely over. Unless the Empire has some kind of resistance to assimilation like those insect things from Voyager that were wrecking the Borg.
End of Return of the Jedi. They take several rebel ships out that are significantly smaller than a Borg cube. Hitting them isn't an issue, and they can hit the cube outside of transporter range while the Borg are still yammering about adding their technology to the collective.
Also at the end of Return of the Jedi a clan of stone age forest marsupials defeats the Empire's ground army.
Which is completely irrelevant since we aren't dealing with ground armies, stone age marsupials, or trying to capture anyone like the imperial troops were trying to do with the people at the generator.
The borg get beaten by good vibes in an episode of star trek. Wait no, Sorry. "individuality from memories of a borg's time separated from the collective where he learned the power of friendship" that's much less ridiculous than space wizards fighting space Hitler and accepting help from the natives.
You know, if you poorly break it down, you could probably make a good drinking game out of it. "describe the episode/scene poorly and guess if it's star trek, star wars, or star gate, and if you're wrong or someone else gets it right first, drink.
