    The scenario as phrased suggests the Borg as a whole, not one cube. To which the answer is The Borg, obviously.

    I think the main weakness the Death Star has in the scenario where it goes up against just one cube is that its weapon takes a significant amount of time to fire.

      If it’s the Borg as a whole, then shouldn’t it also be the entire Imperial Navy? Not just the Death Star, but Super Star Destroyers and the entire rest of their fleet?

        I’m just saying how it was phrased. Although I still think the Borg would win due to adapting virtually instantly.

        Even then, the Imperial Navy doesn’t exactly have a large variety in weaponry. Blasters, bombs, and maybe one guy with a lightsaber if he feels like it. The Turbolaser of the Death Star was just a scaled up version of a blaster. The Borg would transport a small team up and adapt within seconds. It’s a non-fight after that against the whole Navy, even for just one Cube.
