/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The scenario as phrased suggests the Borg as a whole, not one cube. To which the answer is The Borg, obviously.
I think the main weakness the Death Star has in the scenario where it goes up against just one cube is that its weapon takes a significant amount of time to fire.
If it's the Borg as a whole, then shouldn't it also be the entire Imperial Navy? Not just the Death Star, but Super Star Destroyers and the entire rest of their fleet?
What Imperial Navy? You mean those new drones?
Even then, the Imperial Navy doesn't exactly have a large variety in weaponry. Blasters, bombs, and maybe one guy with a lightsaber if he feels like it. The Turbolaser of the Death Star was just a scaled up version of a blaster. The Borg would transport a small team up and adapt within seconds. It's a non-fight after that against the whole Navy, even for just one Cube.
I'm just saying how it was phrased. Although I still think the Borg would win due to adapting virtually instantly.
Ah that is a good point though.
