/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The Borg cube would find the inherent flaw in the Death Star and exploit it. Borg cubes can't be destroyed easily just through weapons fire because they're self-repairing and have adaptive shielding.
I guess even if the Death Star were able to destroy a single Borg Cube, that would be it at most.
I would say so. Also, Borg Cubes are decentralized, which makes them harder to cripple, let alone destroy.
I guess that depends on whether or not force powers work a long time from now in a galaxy right, right here.
Yeah, they used to say that about queer people too.
Dark side pride!
Dare to be different, I guess:-D.
AFAIR the force only works in that galaxy, rendering Force Users incapable of their super natural powers outside or heck even influence those that come without ~~meaty chlorians~~ midichlorians (Vuuzhan Vong).
Fun fact, did you know that there is actually now a type of prokaryote genus named after the midichlorians? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midichloria
Didn't Ahsoka show that they worked in that other galaxy they went to? It was not an especially good show IMO so I didn't exactly commit it to memory.
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.
Oh, never stop working badly, autoincorrect! 🤣
What fun.
that was basically the plot of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
The best geneticists in the universe (the same who make the clones) couldn't, but they were getting close, in theory. Could the borg? Maybe. Eventually.
Definitely a two parter.

They did in Picard Season 3 (which retroactively told us they were doing it as far back as Best of Both Worlds)Oh right. I totally blocked that out.
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.
So all the Borg needs is a superstar flyboy hero type in a little one manned spacecraft with a little energetic torpedo to fly an impossible space battle against thousands of TIE fighters, fire his way to the Death Stars surface, fire his torpedo in an exact location and blow up the entire thing on his own.
If you go by the screenshots of the movie when it shot Alderaan, the laser blast would envelope the entire cube.
The Death Star blew up a planet.
Borg cubes get wrecked once per movie by mere Galaxy-class ships and their tiny arsenals, once the Federation finagles some new bullshit. There's not enough technobabble in the quadrant to let a Borg cube tank the energy required to blast Alderaan to fine powder.
