In 1 second, a bio-ship destroys a Borg cube. By radius:
To get an explosion with a total destruction radius of 50
feet, you need 100 lb (45 kg) of TNT. [1] That's 188280000
joules. Unless that's the cube's reactor blowing up, it's
impossible.
Rating: 7/10
By destruction: I'll assume the Borg cube is made of carbon
steel, but is mostly hollow. This would require about 1372000000
joules to melt. Note that this is conservative as the cube
probably weighs more than 518 kg.
Rating: 6/10
By KE: Assuming as before that the cube weighs 518 kg (a
ridiculously low figure) to accelerate it to 200 ft/s (60.96
m/s) would take around 962 kilojoules, or about 0.23 kgTNT.
Totally possible, but remember that this is a minimum, and that
vaporization was also a factor.

In 0.17 sec a Cardassian warship appears to vaporize about 150g
of iron. That requires about 1255200J, or 300g of TNT.

Death Star destroys Alderaan (ANH)

Okay, so the new maximum size for stations is 200 feet (61
meters). I will be scaling off that.
The Death Star is 160 kilometers in diameter. So it's 800 times
bigger than the RW version.
Earth's diameter (approximation for Alderaan) divided by 800
equals roughly 16 kilometers. A 16-kilometer sphere, with a
density

of
5520 kg/m[sup]3[/sup], would weigh about 11838744 kg. According
to OmniCalculator
HTML https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/escape-velocity,
it would
also have a puny escape velocity of 0.01887 m/s. Therefore, the
minimum energy to blow up this "planet" in space is roughly
2107.75 joules.
The maximum value (sufficient to propel the debris at about five
planetary diameters per second) is roughly 75,768 TJ.
