      They would also assimilate the Protoss as well… (and humans, not that it matters as Borg are already far beyond nukes)

      We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own… resistance is futile…

      The zerg would be difficult to assimilate though, they have such a short incubation period, and we know the Borg implants are added after birth. logistically it’s complicated to manage.

      I don’t think they’d be worthy for assimilation as a whole either, as the underlings couldn’t’t meaningfully contribute to the Borg hive mind.

      Okay, but The Borg have comparable numbers. Humans are Species 5618 when the Borg make first contact. That’s 5617 species they have assimilated (or, at least, tried to assimilate) beforehand.

      In Voyager, the whole Delta Quadrant is teaming with Borg. Functionally on par with the Zerg.

    On the ground, Zerg, they move too fast. In space, the Borg. A cube probably shrugs off whatever organic projectiles the Zerg use.

    I don’t think either would win, the Borg would find them not worthy of assimilation and retreat or destroy whatever planets became infested with zerg.

    You can’t add implants to every new hatched zergling, and they offer no technological distinction.

    Overlords maybe can be assimilated, but it’s not clear if that assimilates their eggs.

    Kerringan has this ability where the entire plot bends ass-backwards to make her come out on top. Can’t beat that.
