If the Borg attacked the Death Star...

Would the Imperials hold them off? Or would they be assimilated?

My friend seems to think a Borg Cube could defeat the Death Star, I brought up the points that they would most likely not be able to fit into the majority of the hangars if they wern't taken out by the turbolasers. Even then, if they managed to get into a hangar, they would be spaced, regardless if they die or not, they wouldn't be getting back to the Death Star anytime soon.

But then there is the laser fire control, right? Wrong, the laser would destroy any borg plague that would try to come in through the canal. With the new upgrades, the laser could fire every three minutes. Due to this, the imperials would just need to hold off the forces from travelling down a very large canal for three minutes, then the borg would be vaporized...

Anyone care to put up a better argument then my friend did?

lol...you're missing a few key facts.

First, the Borg have hundreds of ships, and I think even one cube could defeat the first death star. They have cutting beams,would could easily destroy the superlaser, and they TRANSPORT, not dock in hanger bays. So, they could just transport into the fire control room!

In addition, if even ONE imperial science officer on the Death Star was assimilated, the Borg would know everything about it, and could even adapt to the superlaser.

I'm sorry, but have you seen The Best of Both Worlds? :P

Except for one small thing...Darth Vader. The Borg couldnt adapt to the Force, so as long as Vader or Palpatine were on the Death Star, they could potentially kill every borg that tries to board with a series of force chokes.

Could a Borg cube destroy the Death Star? Hmm...well since we don't know how powerful a phaser is compared to a turbolaser, and we don't have shield comparisons, it's hard to say...

Can the Borg transport through deflector shields? We simply don't know.

I would say that Star Wars tech is generally superior to Trek tech though based on 2 simple things from the movies...one, Star Wars Hyperdrives allow ships to travel faster than Star Trek warp engines...this can be proved by the short time it take the Falcon to get to Alderaan or even the comment in Empire from Piett about the Falcon being on the other side of the galaxy if they jumped into Hyperspace...whereas in Trek, to get from one side of the galaxy to the other using just warp engines could take 100 years.

The second thing is the fact that the Death Star superlaser can make a planet explode with a single shot...there are no such weapons in Trek and that alone makes me think that Star Trek weapons technology is inferior to Star wars weapons tech.

Trek does seem to be superior in "civilian" tech, with transporters, holodecks and replicators, but when it comes to war...Star Wars has the edge. Cloning has been perfected, battle droids are common, space travel is fast, weapons have superior firepower..at least the big weapons do...I don't think there'd be much difference between handheld phasers and blasters, both are equally effective.

Plus the last episode of Voyager has shown that Borg tech can't automatically adapt to everything, so if Wars weapon tech is as significantly superior as it appears, I don't think they could necessarily adapt.

I mean...how do you adapt to a weapon that can obliterate a planet? :P That kind of firepower would break through any shield.

I think what he meant was that they would be very far away... And exaggerated a lot! But this is one of the geekiest topic ever, speculate over this - yet it's interesting!

I've seen a link for a YouTube movie that intercut Star Wars with a Star Trek: THe Next Generation episode. Pretty funny stuff.

I'd update this post with a YouTube link when I'm not typing on a government computer.
Keep up-to-date on the latest information for TSLRCM right here!
