which is why the 1st borg cube gets destroyed, after which the borg adapt their shields and technology and tactics to whatever weaponry the death star has, with the combined military experience and technological knowledge of a bunch of different species.

the second borg cube adapts to the frequency of the death star laser and then is still turned into subatomic particles because it's enough energy to blow up a planet

Can a death star target some thing as small and maneuverable as a Borg cube?

The second Death Star blasted rebel capital ships which are around the same league, though a little bit larger

Ah, of course. Great point.

But maybe one of the Borg cubes beams a group of drones onto the death star before they're blown up, meaning that even if the cubes die the Collective still gains a borgified superweapon.

The assimilation strategy is very legit, the shield thing is what's stupid. I think anyone but the dumbest Star Wars weirdo would admit that yeah borg could walk up on stormtroopers
