    I mean, the borg kind of started the whole series when they killed Sisko’s wife.

    Didn’t we see Sisko’s encounter with the Borg in the very first episode? Sure, they never visited the station, but lots of other aliens never visited the station that we still consider to have been part of DS9, like The Founders

      Unless there is some caveat like the nanites don’t work on the founders or Jem Hadar I don’t think it would be much of a contest

      Then again the talking apes from earth seem to keep them at bay pretty well

        The Founders strengths are genetic engineering and the ability to maintain individuality inside of a collective. I think both of these have been shown to absolutely crush the Borg and the Founders would see the Borg as a fitting solution to the solids.

        The issue is then you have poked God Emperor Sisko of the sacred temple. A being with unending rage against the borg, a willingness to commit war crimes, and the ability to exist outside of time. Sisko is the only captain who faced a power scaling issue of his own power being too high as he was literally born with plot armor.
