    The Borg don’t have empathy or a worry about planets being destroyed, so the death star is not a compelling weapon against them.

    Plus, the death star can only fire one beam and then had to recharge. During that time the Borg could assault the surface of the death star and their shield definitely would adapt to the short range canons.

    It all comes down to whether the death star uses a force field to defend itself and how much power it can generate vs the borgs assault.

      Yeah but can’t the Borg weapons also adapt to shields’ frequencies? I forget my Star Trek lore…

        I don’t know, I remember when they chased the Enterprise they just kept hitting it with shots designed to dampen their shields, but they didn’t want to destroy the ship and kill Picard.
