Star Trek Confirms Who"d Win a Borg vs Dominion War (& It"s Not Close)

:0:0

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War #2!At long last, Star Trek has seemingly confirmed who would win in a fight: the Borg or the Dominion. The question over who is more powerful among the two has raged in Star Trek fandom for nearly 30 years, but in IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Dog of War #2, the matter is seemingly settled once and for all.
The issue is written by Mike Chen, drawn by Angel Hernandez, colored by Nick Filardi and lettered by Neil Uyetake. In the previous issue, Captain Benjamin Sisko found a piece of contraband Borg technology aboard Deep Space Nine, and upon further analysis, learned the device was used by the Borg to coordinate drones. Seeing applications for the raging Dominion War, Sisko decides to try it on, since he believes that his history with the Borg makes him the ideal test subject. Sisko experiences a huge rush of data, experiencing a godlike level of insight and control over everything the system is connected to. Sisko sincerely believes the device could turn the tide of the war. After testing the device in a holo-suite, Sisko states "it’s faster, more agile than any Dominion strategy," before concluding it would "squash them."
Borg Tactics Dominate the Dominion

This line settles what has been a huge point of debate among Star Trek fans: who would win in a fight between the Borg and the Dominion? The two empires have made life miserable for Starfleet and the Federation; the Federation fought a long and sustained war against the Dominion, winning by the skin of their teeth. Likewise, the Federation’s encounters with the Borg often go down to the wire as well. Some fans say the Borg’s technology would make short work of the Dominion while others maintain that the Borg would be unable to assimilate the shape-shifting Founders. The matter has never been settled on the screen; the closest fans got to a Borg/Dominion crossover was in Star Trek: Picard’s final season, when a group of renegade Founders sided with the Borg Queen in a bid to destroy the Federation. In this case, the two parties were working together, leaving the question over who would reign supreme up in the air.
