Borg vs the Death Star

Borgs vs The Death Star

This analysis doesn't make any sense. The Death Star or the Imperial Army only has two things on their side: the immense power of the Death Star's planet destroying cannon and Darth Vader. But the damn DS moves so slowly. It takes the DS forever to moves into range to shoot a slow moving planet. The Borg Cube is too agile for the the DS to be effective. The Borg also has one technology that the Empire doesn't have: teleportation. They can teleport into any part of the DS and assimilate the Storm Troopers who can't hit a barn. Darth Vader as powerful as he maybe, he can still be shot. Example is when the Storm Troopers shot all the Jedi Masters.

The Borg win easily.

Easy: da Borg.

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

Borg assimilate Storm troopers and become terrible shots

Borg are eventually defeated

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

The Borg adapt to the laser blasters and crush an obviously inferior life form. Any damage to the hull of the cube is repaired by the concentration of the collective.

Also, they forgot the "Resistance is Futile" part...

Incidentally, due to its massive size (relative to the laser, not the death star itself), unusual structure, and conscious support, the Cube would take only minor damage from the Death Star's primary weapon, assuming an indifferent aim.

Of course, the competitions are decided by voting fanbois..

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

The only things the empire has got going for it are the superlaser (which can't hit such a rapidly moving target) and Vader, who I'm guessing can't reflect disruptors with his lightsaber like he can reflect lasers (not to mention the possibility of Borg becoming completely immune to lightsaber technology within a matter of minutes).

I guess he can still push them away with the force. That's something at least.

The force has only been shown to change people's minds on some matters. In contrast, the the collective mind of the Borg is so strong that it suppresses the very essence of who a person is. Basically, every drone has the mental strength of the entire collective behind him/her. And, Vader cannot mind control an entire city's worth of people with the force.

Borg all the way. No contest.

That we know of.

Oh please, he couldn't even coerce Leia into giving up the real location of the rebel base. :crazyeyes:

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

If the borg immediately appear in front of the super laser and don't move out of the way while it slowly charges then they could humorously lose, possibly. This would have to be the only way the death star could beat them. However this is not a given, in the event that this doesn't happen (odds on) then the uber laser is useless, it simply can't target a smallish object like the cube that can manoeuvre.

The force and lightsabre tech is nothing compared to the overwhelming ferocity of the borg's 'sacrifice and take all' strategies given their huge technological edge. That's one big borg sphere, my g-god.

Since its a fantasy it all depends on how the writer wants it to come out.

You're doing it wrong.

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

Death Star wins by virtue of being from better fiction.

Anyway, how many Borg? Ah, these things are so stupid.

Who would win out of a fight between the Gummi Bears and Asterix, that's the real question.

 

[Rashiminos]

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

If Asteric can eat all of them, he wins.

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

Obviously Borg have an edge due to being mobile and much more advanced.
HOWEVER:

We do not know how powerfull Star Wars laser technolgy is. AFAIK Borg cannot destroy plantes even with their major large scale weapons. DS can so it can be asumed that personal fire arms and beam weapons of those light fighter ships are also very powerfull.
Farther assumed a DS is a huge carrier at can swarm the cube with myriads of those light fighter ships and just wear down the Borg.
Even moreso the DS could be virtaully imune to Borg fire just due to its mega size.

Borg teleporting inside the star could be a problem but its not sure aswell becouse Darth Vader could crush Borg troopers with the force and secure enough time for the fightes to deal with the cube.

So its not thaaaat clear my friends!

If you recall from the episodes The Best of Both Worlds, the Borg were scooping up enter colonies off planets. So while not destroying the planets outright, the result was about the same.

Super Laser > Borg Cube. Even if they could adapt to the beam, I doubt the Borg cube generates enough power to dissipate the shear amount of incoming energy. However, first the Death Star would have to be able to target and hit said cube, which I don't think is possible.

so it can be asumed that personal fire arms and beam weapons of those light fighter ships are also very powerfull.

They aren't. laser technology was shown to be inneffective vs. even the Enterprise, so a Borg cube wouldn't even flinch from fire from a TIE or Star Destroyer.

Farther assumed a DS is a huge carrier at can swarm the cube with myriads of those light fighter ships and just wear down the Borg.

TIEs are unshielded and the borg have pin-point accuracy with their disruptors. If you've seen any large-scale battles with the Borg, you know they can decimate swarms of lesser opponents in the blink of an eye.

Even moreso the DS could be virtaully imune to Borg fire just due to its mega size.

I doubt the Borg could (or would) destroy the Death Star outright. Taking it over, however . . .

Borg teleporting inside the star could be a problem but its not sure aswell becouse Darth Vader could crush Borg troopers with the force and secure enough time for the fightes to deal with the cube.

Maybe if they transported on top of him and he just killed them all right at the start, but if not, well, the Death Star is huge, and it would be a race against time for Vader to kill all the Borg before they converted half of his rather large contingent of storm troopers into new, white-helmeted drones.

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

Why do you think Storm Troopers use plain lasers we have today?
Even if they do the energy output should be the only relevant factor. And the DS being able to destroy planets tells they have the technology for MONSTROUS energy output in those lasers.

According swarms of small ships.
We do not know how many of them a DS can carry nor do we know how many point defense weapons a borg cube has. Farther those TIEs (?) dont use star treckish way of propulsion thus its not for sure whether Borg can target them that well.

Re: Borg vs the Death Star

Darth Vader can be stopped rather easily and quickly. The Borgs can teleport to multiple locations in the DS to surround Darth Vader. Then they can breach the section of the DS's hull where Lord Vader is. No Sith Lord can survive in space.

Now if the Emperor was on board, he might put up a little fight with force lightning. But the Borgs will probably quickly adapt to the lightning.
