Default Borg vs alien infestation

Ok here's the deal:
A borg cube has technical problems on a scout mission, it crashes on a nearby planet. It has no comunications and no hope for backup,
the cube is not repairable and nothing except lifesupport works.
And then they are discovered by a nest of aliens that had crashed earlier on the same planet.
There are no lifeforms on the planet except for some animals.
The aliens have a queen, 35 facehuggers, 60 eggs, 55 warriors, 40 predaliens (not replaceble), 10 praectorians and about 50 drones and can make new aliens(runners and drones) with the animals on the planet.
The cube has lost some drones but lets say they still have about 5000 drones left, maybe less.
Who wins????

Aliens by a long shot, Borg don't have the reflexes, agility or speed of an alien, they can't even bend over. Walking alien incubators. Borg wouldn't stand a chance, they'd never get their hands on one. Although an assimilated Praetorian would be quite a sight

Well the borg, would be able to set a perimeter of shields and forcefields and maybe automatic weapons to defend.
If they survive the first wave, and they see its a strong alien they are going to assimalate it and if that works sorry aliens are gone!!

Default Re: Borg vs alien infestation

but what Borg is going to be able to actually get the Warriors in the first place, they won't be nearly quick enough to assimilate one, and it's doubtful they would assimilate such lifeforms anyway. And if we've learned anything, Xenomorphs are more than capable of methodical thinking and shield grids NEVER work, they always hang out and wait for a power failure (good luck for the Borg finding enough power in the first place), or cause one. Not to mention I doubt Borg could take down a Praetorian outright anyway, they'd never get their tubiles in and any wrist disruptors they have left wouldn't do the trick. And their little disruptors may be effective against warriors or drones, but the Borg don't have the speed and reflexes to hit them.

They have maybe a special reserve battery and i think they cannot be used as a host!
Cybernetic issue!
But if they assilimate they can use the annimal and ugrade it with borg armor or something like that.

Borg have organic tissue, so long as the borg's organic components are fueled, cybernetically or no, nutrients are still obsorbed by the chestburster, food-based or no. Borg are VERY capable of being hosts to our little sharp-teethed friends.

And no, the Borg do not assimilate lesser life-forms, only life who's mental capacity is high enough to add to the collective, not be detrimental to the hive mind. Don't know if you're refering to the indigenous lifeforms since you said animals or if you mean the xenomorphs, but the aliens have more of a collective consciousness (much like the Borg in many respects), lead by the queen, I doubt a single, uncontrolled Warrior would be much use to the Borg in analytical abilities as its only concerns are to survive, feed, and live on as a species, no knowledge of use to the Borg.

Long-story short: Borg are Xeno-chow

the borg, never underestimate the power of the collective. a cube-full drones is more than enough to get the aliens.

The group that survives.

Anyway, Borg can be hosts for aliens, and the Borg can assimilate the aliens. If the Borg cannot assimilate (nanoprobes might not function properly in acid), or will not assimilate, then they'll scan for these critters, and (having adaptive weapon technology) freeze them in a holding beam and blast them. The Borg aren't too swift (even though they are tough, clever, and resiliant), so most Borg would probably be killed.

"what the Borg can't assimilate they can't understand"

If they we're that smart they wouldn't have needed Voyager
