Bear in mind, by the way, that Starfleet has at least one weapon that destroys planets in one shot: the Genesis device.

The Federation treaty that prohibits it from developing cloaking devices exists for a reason: a ship with a Genesis torpedo and a cloak could destroy any other power's homeworld at will with no warning.

That is terrifying.

If not for the treaty, every power in the galaxy would start a desperate all-out war against the Federation to stop it from doing that.

#StarTrek

Oh, and the one time some humans decided to violate the treaty and make a cloak anyway, they made the phasing cloak, which makes a ship not merely invisible but able to *hide inside planets*.

They could leave behind a Genesis device on every homeworld, buried under kilometers of rock, and detonate it whenever they please.

#StarTrek humans are f**king scary, man. Good thing they're such goody-two-shoes all the time, or everybody else (except Q and the Borg) would be COOKED.

Wait no, the Borg are already cooked.

I forgot about this, but a few years after the humans' first encounter with the Borg, they developed an infovirus that would wipe the Borg out…and decided not to use it because they *took pity on the Borg.*

Then a rogue human admiral decided “screw that” and wiped them out anyway.

Then, a few decades later, the Borg's last, barely-functional cube got cored by a human starship…from a museum.

Did I mention #StarTrek humans are scary? Because yeah.

@argv_minus_one I have to note I've gotten really tired of them absolutely definitely having completely defeated the Borg for good, only for them to come right back.

"Oh, the Borg queen, who had total control over the Borg, was the last survivor, and she just applied for membership in the Federation."

Next episode: "We're fighting the Borg again."
