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 imagine they’d attempt to assimilate him. I think it’s conceivable they’d eventually succeed, and this would go poorly for everyone involved.

      He’s taken on armies solo, and not just the men, but the armor and aircraft, too.

      The Borg aren’t exactly fast or agile, though they might be able to gain tactical advantage. It’s impossible to surprise Vader, but it is possible they could overwhelm him. I think it will depend on how many drones are on a cube and how quickly they realize they need to send all of them at him at once.

      Though their transporter tech could also potentially defeat him easily. And if they can hack into his suit, it’s pretty much over for him.

      And imagine if they figured out medichlorians from assimilating him and turned them into an injection they give all drones.
