A Borg Cube is one of the most ominous sights in space, simply because it is virtually indestructible. It's a prime example of how the crew make the ship, a fact that's more true in this case than most.

On its own, a Borg Cube is pretty impressive. They are massive ships loaded with an incredible variety of weapons and defensive capabilities. A Cube is so powerful that being attacked is barely a concern. It frequently stops in a fight to take cross sections from enemy ships to study and learn from. But its not the size or the weapons that make Borg Cubes so deadly.

The Borg operate as a hive mind, with thousands of beings plugged into the system. All individuality is lost. Because of this, a Borg Cube is able to react and adapt to new threats incredibly quickly. A Cube is, in many ways, a virtually unstoppable juggernaut. They seek to assimilate all species they encounter. adding their diversity and strength to the collective. Every victory makes the whole that much more powerful.

The few victories that anyone has over a Cube have happened thanks to extreme levels of creativity in combat and with a lot of sacrifices.
