so maybe there are good in-univerese reasons they are cubes.

Two ideas:

  • it'd be simpler to build/keep track of
  • maybe their ship yards just extrude borg ship out of a square tube, and they cut them up on the conveyor belt

In this case, I'd still expect more like a cylinder, but I love the idea! Borguccini? Borghetti?

How long to cook a borg cube to al dente?
