    I would say so. Also, Borg Cubes are decentralized, which makes them harder to cripple, let alone destroy.

        I guess that depends on whether or not force powers work a long time from now in a galaxy right, right here.

          AFAIR the force only works in that galaxy, rendering Force Users incapable of their super natural powers outside or heck even influence those that come without meaty chlorians midichlorians (Vuuzhan Vong).

          Fun fact, did you know that there is actually now a type of prokaryote genus named after the midichlorians? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midichloria

            Didn’t Ahsoka show that they worked in that other galaxy they went to? It was not an especially good show IMO so I didn’t exactly commit it to memory.

        We haven’t seen the Borg using generic engineering AFAICR, but it seems like something they would do. Assuming midichlorians are canon, I think the Borg could discover and replicate them. Surely one of the species they assimilated had bioengineering mastered.

          that was basically the plot of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

          The best geneticists in the universe (the same who make the clones) couldn’t, but they were getting close, in theory. Could the borg? Maybe. Eventually.

          spoiler

          They did in Picard Season 3 (which retroactively told us they were doing it as far back as Best of Both Worlds)

        The death star shoots a beam so if the Borg cube was insulated well enough they could just let the death star drill a hole through it.

          The planet killer shot is bigger than a Borg cube. In a DVD scene where the Death Star fills the entire screen, a Borg cube would be 1 pixel.

            Yeah I suppose I didn’t really think of that. I always forget how big the death star was meant to be.
