Not only is this not allowed, but the Borg are overrated as hell. They're good at adapting to energy weapons, but too much power will just overload them, and they have little to no defense against physical/kinetic attacks (like Gladiator plowing through all of their ships)
Also, from what I have seen, the Shi'ar teleportation technology is far superior to the Borg's transporters, they could teleport nega bombs right onto the Borg homeworlds/unimatrixes from light-years away
Not to mention the Shi'ar control an entire galaxy whereas the Borg control maybe around 1/4th of a galaxy, they have a far weaker industrial base. The Shi'ar also have faster FTL, the Borg rely on a transwarp conduit system in the Milky Way galaxy and if even 1 of their transwarp hubs is destroyed (they only have 6) it gets significantly crippled, to get to the Shi'ar galaxy they would take years to build new transwarp conduits, when the Shi'ar could just invade their space in hours.
In fact the Borg were getting their asses kicked so badly by Species 8472 that they had to beg Voyager for help, and all they had done was destroy a few dozen planets in a matter of weeks (Gladiator alone could do that in a few hours)
Also the Borg are, tactically and strategically speaking, retards.
They send one cube to try to assimilate the Federation. It doesn't work.
So what do they do? They wait 6 years, and then send one cube - again. Yeah - nice "adapting" there, guys
They even let intruders just beam aboard and walk around on their ships as long as they don't do anything "that would be considered a threat" like attack part of the ship or a drone.
That's like letting a random stranger into your house and only calling the cops when he starts taking your money.
Really I am not seeing a way the Shi'ar can lose this Good points!! Species 8472 is a beast!!
