Death Star vs Borg Cube-Who Would Win? (PLEASE READ)

[Praeothmin]

As said before, they have more than enough firepower to smoke that Cube out of the sky without even bothering with a low power superlaser shot.

And as I said before, I disagree.
They can't aim, and you're automatically assuming all TLs are heavy TLs when they could be LTLs and MTLs through the mix, and none firing at 1MT per shot.
They are not equally placed around the DS as per the comments in ANH (heavy fire emplacements or somesuch), so the area may be lightly covered or heavily covered, again they can't aim, and they won't start shooting if they don't know what they're shooting at:
"Hold your fire, there are no lifeforms aboard!" (ANH, after seeing the escape pod get away).

This has been the subject of debates before. It can be simply summed up by saying that it all depends on what you think it is that the Death Star's superlaser does in order to blow up a planet. The Warsie wankers say it is a big turbolaser with raw 1e38 joules of energy delivered in a second's time.

The pro-Trek side says there is ample evidence from the movies as well as the EU, most recently the Death Star novel that says that while the beam does have a certain impressive DET component to it, it is nowhere near 1e32 J, never mind 1e38 J, and that the superlaser accomplishes it's planet-destroying via a chain-reaction.

The Borg, while they do have their limitations, have demonstrated a rather impressive ability to adapt to new weapons, dispite what Wong says. Species 8472 is unique among all others in that regard, and that is simply due to their unsual biology. It is highly doubtful that Stormtroopers or a blog-average Jedi or anything else in the Star Wars universe that we have seen in the canon can actually resist assimilation. Thus the Borg have a good chance of obtaining sufficent knowledge in advance that will help them adapt to SW technology.

The best Borg strategy would probably be to beam over thousands of drones inisde the Death Star and begin a mass assimilation campaign rather than try and brute force the battlestation with the cube ship alone.

While I do think that DS SL has rather impressive firepower, destruction of Alderaan looked more like SL dug all way throught crust and mantle to detonate planetary core (it might have detonated mantle AND core).
