    Default The Borg in Star Wars

    All Borg controlled planets, fleets and infrastructure circa TNG and Voyager eras is teleported into Empire controlled Star Wars space.

    The Emperor, Vader and Rebels call a ceasefire. The Deathstar 1 is complete. They are aware a threat is invading but neither side is given much more than a cursory knowledge of the other to start and they do not have access to each other's locations to start.

    NO TIME TRAVEL ALLOWED

    How does this play out over the following years?

    The Empire's ships are probably about as fast as a Borg cube. But the Borg have teleportation. Thats a huge tactical advantage from the jump.
    Also Midiclorians. If the Borg turn a force user into a drone, they will discover about midiclorians, and that will be all she wrote for the Star Wars Universe. Teleporting Personally shielded Drones, with the Force.

    Over galactic distances? Probably not. Over short ranges of individual battles? Doesn't really matter since both sides like to pull up and just hammer the other guy with broadsides.

    Two things really messed with Trek-teleporters. Weird energy fields (like the deflector shields) and weird metals (like the Star Destroyer hulls). So how much of an advantage teleporters will be is questionable.

    Also this is pre-DS1-explosion, so they already have a planet busting superlaser and another being built in a remote location. DS1 didn't really fire off-axis, but "planet-busting" is way more force than the Borg were ever shown to shield from.

    I don't think you can just jam a dude full of midiclorians and get a bunch of Jedi-drones. At best you probably wind up around Dark Trooper level, and they were no match for any Main Character. And even that seems like a stretch given the Borg's whole deal about not letting drones have individuality enough to be Unique Troops, let alone get emotional enough to tap the Force.
    The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!
