Borg cubes are the primary warships of the Borg. They are incredibly powerful and robust, able to defeat whole fleets on their own.

Dimensions: 40 feet by 40 feet by 40 feet
Armament (estimated): 12 heavy phaser cannons, 12 heavy disruptors, 6 heavy railguns, 6 heavy laser cannons, 6 sonic tractor beams, many optical tractor beams, 6 EMP missile launchers
Complement: 1 Borg sphere
Defenses: Steel armor, self-healing armor, adaptive electromagnetic shields, EMP field

Borg cubes are known for being nearly unstoppable. Their massive shields adapt to damage, and can sometimes deflect particle beams back at enemies. Their EMP missiles can temporarily disable ships up to ten feet long, and their tractor beams are some of the strongest ever seen.
     A cube's armor is made of numerous sliding sections, with damaged sections replaced by fresh ones. It is estimated that a Borg cube can still keep fighting after 60% of it is destroyed.
     Borg cubes have shield generators that are concealed inside the ship, making them almost impossible to destroy. How the ship's electronics are protected from being damaged by the shields is unknown, but it probably consists of substantial electronic shielding.
     Cubes are also armed with laser cannons with at least 100W of power. The laser emitters emit hollow beams similar to optical tractor beams. These cause damage that is more difficult to repair.
