NOTES
The Borg Cube is one of the largest, most powerful vessels in the galaxy.  Since it was first
encountered by the Federation in 2364, tens of thousands of Federation citizens have
been killed or assimilated by the Borg Cube, including those lost near the Romulan Neutral
Zone, Wolf 359, and the Typhon Sector.

No known weaponry can effectively destroy a cube.  The Borg's ability to analyze and
adapt gives them an incredible advantage, making it virtually impossible to destroy a cube.  
Even after prolonged battle in the Typon Sector in 2373, a Federation task force inflicted
only minor damage to the cube's outer hull.  Additionally, Borg Cubes can function
normally even if 80% of the vessel has been destroyed.  In the rare event of such a
catastrophe, advanced nanotechnology allows the ship to repair itself.

Borg vessels are also amongst the fastest in the galaxy, able to reach transwarp speeds
equivalent to warp 25.  This tremendous advantage allows the Collective to traverse
incredible distances in only a few short hours.

Despite the recent lull in Borg activity, Federation scientists continue to research new
technologies with hopes of ultimately defeating the Borg.  However, given the Collective's
incredible advantages, it seems unlikely the Federation could hope to defeat the Borg from
a military standpoint
