Sith vs. borg

[MoonWater]

this thread was inspired by a post bouncing ball made. I can't find the post at the moment but maybe he'll mosey on in and point it out.

anyways here's the scenario: The sith army and borg army go to war with eachother. Who do you think would emerge victorious and why?

 

[Duck]

Oh, totally the Sith! They can shoot lightning, have light-sabers and can throw things with their mind!

Borg have what, a box, a computer network, and bad skin?

As far as I saw, the worst the borg can do is "assimilation"..
As opponent you would have to get close first though as they act like zombies..
Also, it should be very easy to kill the borg queen..

Now the sith.. There is a issue of when in time you want to take the sith.
Take the movies as example and you will find that only 2 sith control the force and an entire army.. But take the great war or the mandalorian wars and you are stuffed with ninjalike forceusers!

I don't see a poll, but I would have voted the sith all the way.

btw, the post I made:

Yeah, but how much effect did the Galactic Empire really have on the day-to-day lives of most of the galaxy's populace? Not that much.

As opposed to the Borg, where every single member was stripped of all individuality, personality, and will.

I rest my case.

Are you kidding me, the sith are known to wipe entire planets and are doing so for thousands and thousands of years..
Really, in the story of the sith, the deathstar was not impressive at all..

Found in this thread, page 5

thanks BB and a good point I didn't specify which sith. Well why don't we take both into account. The borg vs old sith and the borg vs "rule of two" sith. I'll pop a poll in so people can vote.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

One Sith could take out the entire Borg.

 

[MoonWater]

poll is up

Ok, the old sith would definatelly beat the borg, with ease..

I am curious about the rule of two though..
In this case it becomes very important wich 2 sith will be in charge at the moment..
For example, Darth sidious is strong enough. He can even walk among the jedi unnoticed. He is so strong in deception and cloaking that the borg wouldn't even notice him. Put this in combination with vader for example and you got yourself a win. Put darth maul in his team though, and you added a "worthless" fighter. Don't get me wrong, maul was one of the best in fighting. But his dark side was based upon aggression and not enough on power.

Take 2 from the "past" though and we wouldn't even be speaking of borg.. Darth Revan in combination with Darth Bane? Rrrr.. Although that 'rule of two' wouldn't last long..
EDIT: A non-possible situation ofcourse as there are, what, 3000 years between them?

Nah you know what, I still cannot see the borg overcome it all..

 

[Gentoo]

No contest!

If the borg assimilate a sith then all the borg would possess his knowledge and skill. Then there would be a race of borg-sith which would be ******.

I would like it ot be the Sith, but the Borg are just to powerful. The lightsaber would have cut down maybe two or three before they adapted, same with the force lightning. If a Sith would try and use the force to strangle a borg, the rest of the borg would get close, maybe even close enough to assimilate him. After assimilating one Sith, they may even learn how to use the force... Sith Borg! Run!

First they would need to catch one
The powers of the sith are strong in emotion though. Not in the technology of the borg. That technology will slow down the powers of emotion.

The Borg has teleporters, you know. And force fields. Among other things. I doubt they couldn´t catch a Sith.

 

[Wandered Off]

All the Borg need to do is to assimilate a few Jedi and they're golden.

 

[Mister Emu]

The Sith, whatever form, would win...

I'm thinking Star Killer(Galen Marek), from the "Force Unleashed". Hey can pulled down a Star Destroyer using the Force. I'm sure a Borg Cube wouldn't be hard for him to pull down ether.

Take 2 from the "past" though and we wouldn't even be speaking of borg.. Darth Revan in combination with Darth Bane? Rrrr.. Although that 'rule of two' wouldn't last long..

That's a sick combo ether way. Hehe

The old Sith, it would not even be a contest. Rule of Two, it would be harder, but I just don't see the Borg standing a chance.

What would make an interesting contest would be the old Sith vs. the Yuzhaan Vong (I think I spelled that right.) It would be much more of a fair fight, since the Vong have armor and weapons that lightsabers can't cut through. It would be a contest of who is the better warrior.

Wow teleporters, you mean like those in the Star Trek universe that can send you to a plant or maybe some where on a ship.....:areyoucra it's not like they can teleport right behind someone. And they have Force Fields in Star Wars too, I'm sure the Sith can get pass that with using the Force.

All the Borg need to do is to assimilate a few Jedi and they're golden.

I don't know about that, just because they assimilate some Jedi or even a Force-Sensitive being doesn't mean they will automatically have the Force powers. Unless they are already adept at the Force themselves then they won't get anything.....and then there's the Midi-chlorians.
I know the Borg share knowledge, but not blood....

I think another thing that must be established in this situation, is the Force the energy that surrounds us, and binds us, as it is in the original trilogy, or just the bacterial count in the prequels? That would also play a major role in this battle.

original trilogy. I refuse to acknowledge the whole midi-chlorian crap. I feel it was a stupid move on lucas's part and it takes a lot of the magic out of the force. As far as I'm concerned midi-chlorians never happened.
