taking down its shields and then assimilates the crew and the ship, it
starts a new collective in the SW galaxy and takes over, soon the entire
galaxy looks like a giant borg dyson sphere. NOT!
ISD slags the cube in a few minutes, taking minimal damage, and then
inspects the wreckage afterwards..

As the cube has not adapted to turbolasers, the ISD aligns its weaponry
and opens up. The lower limit power of at least 24 gigatons spears
through the Borg cube, making short work of it. If they opened up with
their lighter weapons, we would look at a combined firepower of 28
gigatons at the very least. So, before the Borg cube had a chance to
adapt, it would be hit with enough energy to virtually vaporize it.
Now, if a fully adapted Borg cube would enter the fray, we could talk.
It should be able to resist about 1E24 J of firepower before succumbing
- that would be equal to less than 8000 full barrages of an ISD at
MINIMAL possible power.
The cube's beams, however, seem very low - powered; they're certainly
not above 1E17 J in power. We don't really know the full power of
Borg torpedoes either. If the Borg aligned ten such emitters (something
they've never done in the show) on the ISD, they would need to score at
least a thousand hits with every emitter to take down the ISD's shields.
So even giving all benefit of doubt to the Borg cube, it's going to be
a tough match.

I would imagine it would get pretty damaged by the ISDs turbo lasers,
but as for missils or tie fighters: these get shot very easily and pose
no threat. Then the Borg use their shield-destroyer weapon, and the
hull-disintegrator to do the rest :)
After a few shots from the ISD they Borg adapt.
If there was a fleet od ISDs (say 3or omre) then it's bye bye borg.

TNG Borg Ccollectve: Empire / New Rep is wiped out. To the man.

I meant to say that this was with the medium TLs AND the heavy ones, not
just the mediums. :)
And while the data we have shows that the cube would die if faced with
an ISD, I would probably make it much tougher if I ever wrote a fanfic
about that.

Glad we are in agreement here. Although, even the TNG Borg would be
hard-pressed to take over an entire galaxy. Especially if the Empire
decided that they were its number-one target. Ssi-Ruuk fighters and
ships would be highly useful here, nothing living to assimilate.
