Who would win: Borg Cube or Death Star?

I still question whether a Borg cube could disperse/absorb/cancel that amount of energy though And yes, I know I'm reopening a closed can of worms.

Perhaps the Stargate folks can step in. Or Kyle Hill.

Its canon, species 8472's combined ship super weapon thing has been shown to blow up whole planets and continuously work against the Borg. I would consider 8472's super weapon as a in-universe death star equivalent
- 8472's entire thing was organic modulation, making it impossible to adapt to.
  The death star laser is based on the resonating frequency of a crystal. So it will always be the same. Easy for the borg to adapt to.
  Question is can you overpower shields in Star Trek? I would postulate a "maybe" given that the Cardassians use a giant phaser on the front of their ships to break things, and they're noted as being technologically inferior to the federation.
The Borg cube is 3km wide, the Death Star is as big as a moon, so in the ballpark of 1000km in radius. There is just no way a Borg Cube's technology is so advanced it can absorb energy to make up for that size difference. Unless you are a planet sized object, the death star delivers an infinite amount of energy.
- Oh. This just opened up a terrifying thought. The Borg would take one look and go, "Shit, we need one of those." And then we'll eventually have a Borg giga-cube on our hands.
  Could be from scratch, could be from amalgamating all their other cubes. Either way, terrifying.
- Small moon. The first Death Star's radius was 60 km and the second Death Star's was 80 km.
- It's specifically the size of a small moon, remember that the Earth's moon is actually pretty large, 5th largest in our solar system and by a pretty good margin the largest in comparison to the planet it orbits, just in our own solar system we have Deimos at only about 6KM, and in other parts of the universe I'm sure they could be even smaller, in our own solar system Jupiter pretty regularly captures small asteroids into its orbit that could be considered temporary moons.
  From the various wikis and such, the death stars were about 120 (1st death star) and 160 (2nd) km in diameter, so 60 and 80 in radius, so still significantly larger than a cube, but far less so than the 1000km you're thinking.
  And size doesn't necessarily correlate to how much power they have at their disposal or how much they can absorb/deflect. Their weapons/shields are probably based on very different technologies, it could be like comparing a Davy Crockett nuke (basically the real-life equivalent of a fallout mini nuke) to an equivalent sized bomb made of black powder, or like an inch thick plate of steel to the same sized sheet of plywood.
  And the death star crew was much larger, somewhere around 2 million people plus a few hundred thousand maintenance droids. Those humans need a lot more space and creature comforts than the Borg who just need alcoves to recharge in. I'm sure that they weren't exactly providing luxury accomodations for most of the rank-and-file grunts and contractors and such, but they certainly got more space than the Borg need, plus dining halls, kitchens, medical bays, recreation areas, meeting rooms, offices, throne rooms, detention levels, etc. a lot of things the Borg have little or no use for. The Borg may be able to dedicate more space on the cube to weapons and shields than the death star could.

- Feel free to post it there yourself!
Would the Death Star weapon be described as a laser weapon? Because IIRC canonically in the Trek universe, lasers are a very weak outdated weapons technology, easily blocked with modern shielding tech.
- No, because they don't behave like lasers (like, they don't move at the speed of light). They're more like massive, short lived light sabers, which are plasma within a forcefield.

Cubes are fast at sublight, they would have to remain in exactly the right spot for a long time for the death star to unload the main weapon, making theorising about the main weapon pretty meaningless.
The death star does not have shielding tech. This has all kinds of vulnerabilities.

They could have all crew teleported into space before the WO could say "huh?"

They could have ranks of borg assimilating entire critical compartments.

They could be tractorbeamed into the nearest planet or star.

Hell the cube could literally just fly back and forth through the star tearing it up from the inside.

Once shields go down fights are pretty much over and this fight starts like that.

Of course we all know Borg cube or death star, sg1 will find some half assed blow shit stuff up way to destroy both of them. Like idk blowing up a star.

Real question, Atlantis vs Borg cube or death star...(Assuming they had full zpms)

Borg would assimilate the Death Star on first encounter. There'd never even be a fight.

- no, the real reason is scanners, trek ships would know the entire layout of the enemy including any weak points in seconds and blasting them in short order with its phasers/disruptors, meanwhile SW still aims ship guns like it's 1940 on the USS Colorado (BB-45).
  Imagine this: the death star, slowly maneuvering around to get a firing angle on the strange "federation"(some strange new rebel group that the empire has been encountering lately) outpost situated on some moon, when suddenly a cruiser sized ship drops out of hyperspace way closer than the mass of the death star should have allowed, yet still outside the death starts turret range (how could they know?), when suddenly it shoots a "particle lance" that is able to dig a hole into your entire 3km thick armor in minutes (while 3km of steel is nice and all, a phaser can dig through a 15km asteroid in like 30seconds) and then drops what you can only guess as some sort of space torpedo into the hole, that then blows up inside the death star with an explosive yield that would wipe out an entire city in seconds, most likely directly on top of the reactor core, giving us a big boom.
The Borg's first move is often to just beam drones over and start trying to assimilate people and technology.
I'd love to see the Jedi response to this. Who wins, borg personal modulating shields or lightsabers and force push?
...and what happens to the force when a Jedi is assimilated? Does the borg colective suddenly find out they had a lot of high midichlorian count drones in storage?
- I think you're probably going to end up getting into a lot of the metaphysical/philosophical/quasi-magical aspects of the force with that question.
  The force isn't just about how many midichlorians you have in your blood. The midichlorians help facilitate the physical connection to the energy of the force, but one still needs to be open to it mentally and spiritually. It is almost routinely demonstrated that connecting to the force requires discipline, meditation, and "clearing the mind".
  I'd argue that because the Borg are connected to the collective, they would be incapable of forming that connection. Drones don't really have a mind or a spirit of their own. They can't clear their mind. Literally, they can't stop the constant stream of information, so long as they're connected to the collective. And that's to say nothing of the spiritual aspect.
  Really, the force connects all living things. In a way, it's a kind of a collective of its own. I feel like the Borg would have to be disconnected from their collective to feel the connection to another, but once you disconnect a drone, it's ceases to be Borg.
