I picked the Breen because they're awesome. I guess I can't really think of a better reason than that. Too bad you didn't list the Bajorans (NOT!!!!!!!!)

[augur13]

I choose the Feds. Lets face it they're more adaptable than even the Borg and how many other races have tried to go against them as a whole and lost, uh, all of them,(so far).

[uss_shanker]

have to agree with auger13 federation have always survived against major threats even against the borg

[USS_Oblivion]

you know, if the borg sent all of its cubes, it would wipeout the alpha quadant, even with picards knowledge of the borg weaknesses. The only way i could see the alpha quadrant being saved is the enterprise rigging up a command that makes all borg cubes self-destruct (which for the show, which ALWAYS goes the federations way is very likely

[augur13]

And yet Janeway managed to stop the borg with just a cruiser (Voyager) and a shuttle.

[augur13]

It doesn't mean they wouldn't use them again, especially against a threat that big. Besides do you really think all the plans where destroyed for that equipment, please, and lets us not forget how many of Starfleets Captains really follow that directive anyway.

[USS_Oblivion]

ah, but also do remember if the borg attacked in big numbers, how friggin long would it take to refit EVERY vessle in starfleet (FYI is about 6000-8000 ships)

[augur13]

Yeah but they wouldn't have to refit that many ships. Remember it only took 2 photons to destroy a tactical cube (could of gotten away with one but better safe than sorry), plus the Borg queen went on her little purge to remove the link that was within the hive so there wouldn't be that many ships left to begin with. Remember Species 8472 had already done a good frog stomping to the Borg, not leaving them much left to attack with.

[USS_Oblivion]

And on top of that.... The borg could have analyzed dead Species 8472 ships that died from those nanoprobes, and adapted to them. Plus, if the borg sent two cubes, had one destroyed by the transphasic torpedos, then the second one escaped with the data on them, they could also adapt to them. (As a side note, what if the borg had shields???? )

[doci7]

All the dead 8472 ships conveniently exploded into liquid-nothingness if I remember correctly, so I don't think the Borg will be adapting that way. As for the Transphasic torpedoes and whatnot, yeah I can certainly see the Borg adapting to those after long enough. The Federation would have to find another way to survive (and I believe they would, because it probably wouldn't be Star Trek if they didn't).
