    The first cube is obviously dead. But the Borg will send a decent amount of cubes next time, and even if the shields on the death star can block beaming will have them down and drones on board before every cube is gone.

    After that the Borg have a super sphere.

      I don’t think even Borg shields can adapt to the main weapon on the Death Star. But as you said, they don’t really need to. Send multiple cubes. They don’t even need to beam over. Borg do fine in vacuum, just throw a bunch of drones at the Death Star, they’ll eventually find their way inside.

        Yep, the raw power of the death star overcomes shields. But the Borg don’t care about loosing multiple ships if the prize is worthwhile.

        Thinking about it how quickly can the death star even recharge and fire again after the first shot? If it’s not quick then the Borg might only need to sacrifice one cube and a few thousand drones.
