Nah, that's silly
The Death Star is 80,000 times larger than a Borg Cube and can blow up an entire planet.
Obviously anything's possible with some sneaky-sneaky assimilation growing out of control. But in terms of an actual ship to ship fight, come on, your body is about 80,000 times larger than a gnat.
I get second hand embarrassment from people saying stuff like that. Literally if I asked a Marvel fan: Who would win, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, or the titular character from my book, "Guy Who Automatically Wins Every Fight, Magically, Without Even Trying", like half of people would say my book sucks and so logically, the Hulk would punch him really hard, or whatever. It's so dumb.
Like no, it literally does not matter how shitty you think this book is, it's literally canon that your favorite super hero can lose, and canon that mine can't. If you fail at objectivity that hard why even bother talking about anything jesus christ
(Yes this is about Superman)
which is why the 1st borg cube gets destroyed, after which the borg adapt their shields and technology and tactics to whatever weaponry the death star has, with the combined military experience and technological knowledge of a bunch of different species.
the second borg cube adapts to the frequency of the death star laser and then is still turned into subatomic particles because it's enough energy to blow up a planet
Can a death star target some thing as small and maneuverable as a Borg cube?
The second Death Star blasted rebel capital ships which are around the same league, though a little bit larger
Ah, of course. Great point.
