The Galactic Empire VS The Borg | Star Wars VS Star Trek | Who Would Win?

[@andyb9107]

How could the Borg adapt to storm trooper blasts if they never get hit?

[@clefsan]

because handheld blasters operate on the same basic principle as the turbolaser maybe? even if not, the collective might lose a few drones at first, but after that they would adapt. and unlike star trek phasers, star wars blasters can't play around with frequency modulations to get in a few extra hits.

[@pinkiekeen7887]

Don't think the starwars fandom understands how improbable it would be even with its vast numbers by comparison to beat what basically amounts to being a sapient Biotechnological Plague that Literally needs only one drone to assimilate entire planets, ships, and stations into the collective and can constantly adapt itself, making it nearly impossible to kill unless you some how managed an EMP pulse but even that has limited effect. Also to the argument about the Slave 1's Explosives vs the Enterprise's Explosives, the Slave 1's Mine was a Sonic Resonator bomb, Its basically made to crack Asteroids, where as the Photon Torpedo is is just that a Torpedo, it has enough yield to punch a hole in a specific area preferable where it can do the most damage, its like comparing the Destructive and Penetrative qualities between HEAT and SABOT, Also we've never seen the SRB used on a Capital ship Externally or Internally, although i feel that it wouldn't be as effective externally to most ships since we've only ever seen it used against a small star fighter, and rock is looser then steel so would probably just rebound off the hull of most Borg and Federation ships. Another thing, the Star Wars universe has never shown a use of Teleporters, something the Trek universe uses regularly both non-combative and combative, so imagine having your lovely sonic mines just teleported inside a star destroyer or heaven forbid the Death Star xD would be a lovely surprise. Finally don't forget the Borg have basically a jacked up Plasma Cutter for a main weapon that works in tandem with a tractor beam on all their ships, they literally carve sections from enemy ships and add them to themselves or create new ships from the chunks and have regularly shown a tendency to use a teleporter to board enemies in the middle of combat or simply teleport the command staff from hostile ships to their own, so they aren't single-minded numb-skulls, just very saturated in Badly Written Villain Armor or BWVA for short. xD In the end, while the Empire would put up a hell of a fight, I feel the only thing in the star wars universe that would be able to contend with the Borg would MAYBE be the Youzong Vong since they have a similarity to species 8472

[@Rcdvst808]

​@Potato Mic wrong some one went more in depth into star trek vs star wars tech before and there's a large difference between the two universes iirc star wars ships rely more on their hulls than shields so ST has an advantage however the way the weapons work is that in ST all the weapons are purely energy based where as in the star wars universe the way the energy weapons work is that its not actually a laser or really plasma its something else the energy bolts are basically gasses that are condensed and heated in such a way it has a kind of almost liquid metallic core once it leaves the barrel giving it a kinetic effect this is why laser in the ST universe actually penetrate things the borg cannot adapt to kinetic weapons ironically the best weapon against a borg are firearms

[@HolyknightVader999]

The industrial capacity of the Empire alone will fluster the Borg. Each Star Destroyer has a core that's practically a tiny sun. Each turbolaser shoots 200 gigaton shots or more. And each ISD costs more than the annual GDP of an entire planetary civilization. And the Empire has 25,000 of these things. The Borg won't be able to stop something that strong. And the ISDs are their fast attack ships-those are just destroyers, which in modern parlance are quick strike vessels. The Empire's real heavy hitters are those 19 KM command ships that have more than 12 times the firepower of a standard ISD, not to mention cost. To counter that firepower, the Borg have to build something stronger than an ISD, one that can take its attacks, absorb it, and fire back with similar force. And with all the planets the Borg own, they cannot have the industrial capacity to counter that. Also, to those who doubt that SW turbolasers can turn whole planets into barren deserts, take a good look at Mandalore. That used to be a verdant jungle world, and by the time of the Clone Wars, it's one big radioactive desert where the people have to live inside glass houses contained in domes. Or, look at Concord Dawn, where a chunk of the planet got blown off. And that was done with warships weaker than the Venator-class Star Destroyers, let alone Imperial-Class Star Destroyers. Forget the Death Star, the Borg can't even counter the standard Imperial fleet. Also, ray shields and particle shields will block out any nanoprobes, and the former even disintegrate matter, which was how they can use ray shields to trap solid objects like humans in EPIII. Also, for those of you who say "THE EXPANDED UNIVERSE IS NO LONGER CANON!" It was during the time of George Lucas, and Lucas even praised the Expanded Universe in the intro to the novel "Splinter of the Mind's Eye". He also referenced the Expanded Universe in his films, from the Jedi Council, the Republic capital Coruscant, and even Palpatine's quest for immortality. Palpatine's quest for immortality had nothing to do with his plot to take over the galaxy, which was the main story of the prequels, yet Lucas placed it there anyways because he was referencing Dark Empire, his FAVORITE Star Wars comic book, where Palpatine finally attains immortality and returns to haunt the heroes. In Dark Empire, Palpatine has immortality, and in Episode III, we see the beginnings of how he attains this immortality. Also, Disney canon takes everything from the Expanded Universe and turns it up to eleven. Not only is the Empire still as strong as ever, but they made Darth Vader from a flawed Sith into an invincible gore machine. They took things like the Galaxy Gun and made them even more insanely powerful, such as the Starkiller Base. Oh, and those First Order Star Destroyers? They all have Death Star Superlaser Crystals mounted on those turbolasers of theirs, making them even stronger than their EU counterparts. At this rate, fighting the EU version of the Empire is less risky than fighting the Disney version. the Disneyverse Empire has Star Destroyers with Death Star Superlaser crystals mounted on the guns, plus a Death Star the size of a planet that consumes suns and blows up whole planetary sectors in one shot.

This is quite simple. The Borg have technology the Empire cannot counter. Namely, upon encountering the Death Star, what stops the Borg from simply transporting an entire Cube's worth of Borg into it? The Empire doesn't have transporter technology, they wouldn't therefore have shields capable of preventing transportation. So, now you have thousands of Borg assimilating the Death Star.

[@Doublebarreledsimian]

The Borg are vastly superior in technology and sadly if they assimilate anyone with any knowledge about the workings of the Death Star, they will adapt to the super weapon quickly. I'm afraid in the end they will assimilate even the mightiest of Sith Lords. No Borg may be able to touch a Sith, but they do have other weaponry, and since they like to use nanites as their main form of assimilation, that doesn't rule out nanotech viruses or another form of microscopic attack.

[@catmani2]

The Borg cannot adapt to the super weapon. It doesn't matter how much shielding it has. Even with their adaption, the Borg can still be hurt or destroyed with overwhelming firepower.

[@Doublebarreledsimian]

You're right, against the first few blasts of the Deathstar they won't adapt to it, the same way we saw them originally in TNG. Their adaptation will be more like what we saw in First Contact. They'll be able to mitigate some damage but probably not enough to avoid getting damaged or even destroyed. However their ships are far more manueverable, faster, and more adaptable than the Empire's Star Destroyers. Their adaptaion technologies paired with the assimilation technologies would allow them to overwhelm a Star Destroyer, and gather all pertinent information about everything stored in that Star Destroyer's computers. Their assimilation tech would also reveal to them all possible strategies and technical knowledge the crew of the Stardestroyer possessed. However even if they found themselves losing a war with the Empire they can try to cheat just like they did in First Contact and Time Travel to give themselves a do over with advanced knowledge of what they have to do to win.

[@catmani2]

I could agree with that for the most part. One problem though is that they would not be able to get any information on the Death Star from assimilating star destroyers. They would not have any knowledge on information on it other than that it exists. The base was extremely classified and few knew anything about it, much less the tech and systems behind it. If the borg could adapt to the weapons of the SW universe, then the Empire would have a difficult time. I just wonder if they even would be able to. In ST, the borg adapt to the various frequencies of weapons, allowing them to defend. I don't think SW weapons would qualify in that category, and even if they did, there is the physical aspect of them. They are basically plasma bomb that have explosive force so even if they could absorb the actual plasma, they would still take a lot of damage from the explosions.

[@protoborg]

@@Doublebarreledsimian Assuming the Death Star could get off a shot at the Borg, the next shot would miss completely as the cubes are able to move while the Death Star is not. All the Borg have to do is avoid the Death Star's weapon and they can assimilate it. The Borg also have the advantage of not caring about losing drones during battle. Storm Troopers are going to panic and flee. Drones do not panic. Drones do not fear death. Drones follow directives without question. Drones kill their own if directed to do so by the Queen. Storm Troopers are individuals who must communicate verbally with each other. Drones are just parts of the hive mind requiring no such inefficient methods as words.

[@protoborg]

@@Doublebarreledsimian They don't need to cheat. The Death Star is a one shot weapon, at best. The moment the primary weapon impacts a cube, the other cubes simply dodge out of the way. They then warp in behind the Death Star and start beaming drones on board. After a while, the entire Death Star would be under Borg control.

[@thelegendarysolocard]

A big problem with your theory/story is that the borg adapt to energy frequencies which is why remodulating is somewhat effective in trek. Turbolasers and blasters dont operate on any one consistent frequency also I dont think the borg could adapt to proton torpedoes or ion cannons which star destroyers have loads of.

Actually that's a major weakness of Starwars. In star trek they could modify weapons quickly and in Starwars can't

OK... compared to "other" Y/T videographers who did the same thing, (two separate universes in a hypothetical battle) ... YOU did this one well. My only "hmm???" moment was when you said: "They fired on low power, so let's say 30 minutes to recharge." That's not realistic at all. If they fired on 25% power then they needed 6 hours to refire the Deathstar's main weapon, and at 30 minutes, that would mean they fired at (about) only 0.5% or 1/48th of 24 hours = 0.5. That's just not fantasy realistic. If you think I'm too pedantic... I once sent in a correction to the "Nit-picker's Guide" and Phill Farrand because he missed in "TNG's The Enemy" errors in the episode, which he said he couldn't find any... the biggest one was- the Romulan Warbird could not reach Galordon Core in the timeframe stated by Tomalak in his communique to the crashed Romulan ship.

Dude, you SEVERELY underestimate the power of the turbo laser. Look, the power of a single turbo laser shot was enough to annihilate a meteor to space dust!

[@nuclearsimian3281]

The Borg cubes get hit by non-EU tier weapons fired by the Imps a half dozen times. Then they adapt their shielding. Then all Imperial turbolasers are rendered useless. The Borg transporters are also good enough to beam through UFP ship's shielding, which typically blocks most transporters. The Empire doesn't even have the faintest concept of a transporter, and their shielding is vastly inferior. Borg ships are also much faster than Imperial ships at sublight. Then there's the idea that even IF an Imperial battle group got a Borg ship disabled, or destroyed it, they'd never be able to handle 15 cubes without literally hundreds of ships because in Seven's words: "If we beamed 500 drones aboard your ship [Voyager] would you be able to offer sufficient resistance?" That was against Starfleet personnel too, who by all accounts are the *very best* at fighting the Borg in the Alpha Quadrant. This is a monumental mismatch. The only way to make it fairer is to use EU numbers and wank them to high heavens. Then there's still the issue of the Borg being able to beam into their ships and assimilate them, turning those EU tier weapons onto their side.

The empire would press the attack causing some to be obliterated as two are still left the death star charges up and fires at one while the other barely escapes.

Just use solid projectile weapons against the Borg. The Borg use shields that stop energy attacks. Blasters cause damage by heat. Solid projectile weapons, like guns, cause kinetic based damage.

He can kill tones of borg, perhaps the Emperor could destroy borg cubes with a force storm, but the borg are a collective, there is no single target, the empire would have to destroy every single borg. Where-ever Vadar and the Emperor are, they will defeat the borg, but they will not be there to defend other systems, and due to the numbers of the borg, and star destroyers being useless without turbo lasers, the borg will quickly take over everywhere.

Since the borg can't adapt to physical attacks (see Picard's tommy gun in the movie First Contact and 8472's bladed weapons), they don't have a chance against Star Destoyers, no matter what this video says. In the Battle of Yavin, we saw holes at the end of the turbolaser batteries on the Death Star. That means something physical is coming out. If it's plasma, the borg are double-screwed.

The Rebels didn't win through grassroots support. They won because they had rich people and aliens backing them against the mostly human Empire. Also, drones are useless against the Empire because their shields would just block transporting in. Plus, the Empire could conquer the Federation in a week. The Borg couldn't conquer them for years.

Please do an episode where a Borg cube is infested with *XENOMORPHS* . I think that it would be hilarious to see the Borg try to assimilate something that’s biting their faces off and spraying acid everywhere. How long would it take for them to figure out that it’s not worth their effort?

[@tgr.4550]

I like this scenario

[@protoborg]

In a sense Species 8472 were Xenomorphs.

[@VeritechGirl]

The Borg are a technological terror - insignificant next to the power of the force!

[@nealboortzman9256]

Veritech Girl marry me!

[@teroslarone1171]

the force will be assimilated

[@TundoNortillenna]

Gama Delta It cannot. The Force is beyond even the most advanced technology. The Borg would need to become Force sensitive, which is not possible.

[@teroslarone1171]

the force is conected with all living beings of the SW galaxy which means with every assimilated person the borg have a chance of getting one with a strong connection to the force

[@VestedUTuber]

In this kind of situation, if I was in the Emperor's shoes, after finding out how effective the Death Star's superlaser is against the Borg, I'd order the mass production of the _Conqueror_-class Star Destroyer. It's basically a miniature compound superlaser on a modified _Imperial_-class Star Destroyer making it perfect for ship-to-ship use as opposed to the DS-1's enormous superlaser. Of course, the Emperor wouldn't necessarily do that because LOL TARKIN DOCTRINE!!!

[@Demobot1]

Until the Borg assimilates 1. Then the slaughter continues.

[@tatymazur190]

I love how u narrate this. Great video!! keep up the good work

[@JSBselvas]

The Borg would assimilate miticlorians, and have billions of force using drones.

[@The_Goose2]

well shit what now

[@christopherbravo1813]

4:24- why would they use the executor- or really any capital ship- for scouting? wouldn't it be better to use more stealthy fighters or Corvettes?

[@Orca19904]

I highly doubt the Borg would assimilate Ewoks; they are only interested in cultures that possess technology that would be of interest to them. The Kazon from Star Trek: Voyager had technology that was comparatively far more advanced than the Ewoks, yet the Borg deemed them too primitive to be worth assimilating, so I doubt the Borg would even notice the Ewoks.

[@Daemon__Sultanah]

Dude they're not the freaking Daleks! The Ewoks would like to provide them with soldiers and drones and stuff it's not that there are too primitive to be assimilated its strength in numbers.

[@shmee123ful]

While I agree the Borg wouldn't waste time on such primtive people's such as ewokes, normally. The Borg have assimilated primtive people's before. Seven of nine mentions several in the episode " omega detective" the reason Borg ignore the Kazon is likely two fold. Firstly that didn't develop the tech they use they stole it all and they also have no outstanding or unique biology. As the Borg aren't just interested in tech but biology as well it's why they went after species 8472. Secondly it was an inside joke be that point of voyager that the Kazon where a joke. ( not that voyager treated the Borg any better) but besides that the Borg assimilating Kazon when there are far better races out there they could get their claws on. Is like replacing a your car engine with an a 3ed hand car engine that's being used as part of a drug lab for the last 12 years. However if the Borg where to enter a new galexy or universe so different from there own they would likely grap any species they could to swell their numbers and start production of planet side basses to strip mine planets for the raw recourses needed to feed their war machine. And also they need to learn as much as possible as soon as possible about this new situation. So assimilation of a hand full of primtive species could take place early on.

[@ИльяПавлов-я1ж]

Nice video! I would like to see The Ultimate Battle of Cubes: Borg vs Vogons

[@thebestcloroxbleachintown3108]

Why doesn't the empire just put droids on to hyperspace capable fighters and make em crash into the Borgs ships, at that speed I'm sure the entire cube would be destroyed or at least badly damaged.

[@teroslarone1171]

SW ships need to be rely careful in hyperspace since hitting anything would destroy you also it would be nearly impossible to hit a borg cube moving at transwarpspeed.

[@callumpears1523]

The best Clorox Bleach in town That would probably work. With the speed that an object has in hyperspace even a few dust particles could cause a devastating explosion.

[@teroslarone1171]

and still the problem of hitting a borg cube isn't solved since they could be anywhere and travel themself at a freaking fast past and if they get a transwarp network setup they could be anywhere in no time and also you wouldn't be able to attack it since it would planet side and so no hyperspace hits and good luck trying to get threw the borg defenses once they have assimilated a SD

[@curseofgladstone4981]

Callum Pears. hyperspace is like a parallell realm. they dont move through hyperspace faster than light its just that moving a smaller way in hyperspace makes you travel a long way in normal space. at least that how i think it works. its not really that well explained in canon.

[@thebestcloroxbleachintown3108]

Even if the empire couldn't hit the cubes couldn't they use this method to destroy planets surfaces?
