    The Borg’s better play would be a couple of spheres. Too small to be hit by the Death Star’s main weapon, and should be able to tank any fighters sent after them. Probably the surface turbo lasers, as well.

    The Borg only need to get within transporter range. Once they have a few drones on board and start assimilating at an exponential rate, it’s over.

      1500 M is big enough to hit with the main weapon. Mon Calamari Cruisers are only 1200 M in length and the DS 2 blows up two of those and a medical frigate which is even smaller, in the battle of Endor

      Also while the design team on First Contact made that sphere 1500 M in diameter, they are listed in the tech manuals as being 3000 M in size.

      Yes. How long until the Borg are firing turbo lasers? Then, it’s definitely over. Unless the Empire has some kind of resistance to assimilation like those insect things from Voyager that were wrecking the Borg.
