How did the Borg get blown up by a relatively small volley?
The Nocjedge is not a classic Bird of Prey (which would be about one tenth the size) but a battleship of a similar design, but comparable in overall size to the Enterprise D. Since Borg War takes place 17 years after the return of Voyager, the Klingons have developed two new weapons: a delayed blast armor-penetrating photon torpedo which explodes from inside the penetrated ship. If you notice, the first volley is preceded by concentrated disruptor fire this is to help puncture any shielding or armor. The second volley from the Nocjedge is targeted in exactly the same place on the cube, in order to take advantage of the earlier penetration. Even so, it seems unrealistic for a single battleship to destroy a Borg cube, right? There are three reasons that was possible. First, this is not a full-sized Borg Cube like the one that took on an entire fleet at Wolf 359; its a much smaller version, as can be seen by comparing it to the Nocjedge. Second, this particular cube is only a shell of wha
