    Well, the Death Star can destroy a planet, so I’m thinking they could take out a single cube.

    Imagine the energy required to destroy a planet…

    But if there’s more than one cube, I’m guessing they’re fucked.

    But what happens if Vader were assimilated?

      I guess that depends on whether or not force powers work a long time from now in a galaxy right, right here.

      We haven’t seen the Borg using generic engineering AFAICR, but it seems like something they would do. Assuming midichlorians are canon, I think the Borg could discover and replicate them. Surely one of the species they assimilated had bioengineering mastered.

      The death star shoots a beam so if the Borg cube was insulated well enough they could just let the death star drill a hole through it.

        The planet killer shot is bigger than a Borg cube. In a DVD scene where the Death Star fills the entire screen, a Borg cube would be 1 pixel.

          Yeah I suppose I didn’t really think of that. I always forget how big the death star was meant to be.
