When I was a teenager and still on Neopets I was part of a pretty big Star Trek guild and eventually became part of its council, with the solemn duty of creating weekly polls. Well one day I created the poll “Which would win in a fight? Borg Cube or Death Star?”. Naturally, since this was a Star Trek guild, the answer was overwhelmingly “Borg Cube”, but someone did have the rationality to point out we were biased.
So I look up a pretty prominent Star Wars guild and message one of their council and ask them to poll the same question and get back to me in a week. They do, and naturally the fuckin geeks said “Death Star”.
So then I look up a Stargate guild and messaged the lead council member, saying the same thing, and they get back to me almost immediately saying that the Death Star would immediately one-shot a Borg Cube but they would never be able to do it again to another Cube. And I took that wisdom back to my guild and we were mollified, and for one moment the Nerd World was peaceful.

An image depicting the story of the "Judgment of Solomon", where Solomon is labelled "stargate fandom", and the two women are labelled "star trek fandom" and "star wars fandom". The Star Wars lady is standing grumpily with her hands on her hips, while the Star Trek woman gestures with open arms. Between the two of them, on the floor, is a baby in a wicker basket. Solomon sits over them in judgment.
I doubt the borg would bother with a frontal assault on a death star. Just put some probes into a host and wait for assimilation.
Oh, man. If the Borg knew about strategy, Star Trek would end right at the time the first cube gets to Earth.
Honestly that kinda sounds like it would be a fucking DOPE take on a star trek horror movie. A science crew doing science on a nebula crash on a local planet after a mysterious problem with the warp reactor. One by one, they all start assimilating. The borg have changed the game and the nanoprobes are airborne. The crew must escape alive to alert the federation or earth will be lost.
Many lights fail due to the accident, and on the darker areas people just disappear... Hum, wait, I think I've seen that movie. Is there a human captain studying Borg nano-probes and feeding researchers to them?
What's the movie? Little Shop of Horrors?
