Q) When firing on a Borg ship that has Borg Ablative Hull Armor equipped, does Toreth's convert a hit to a crit or does the Armor stop it?

A) Toreth still causes a crit.

Rulebook Pg 13: If the attacked and defender both have abilities that modify attack dice, the defender resolves all of their abilities before the attacker resolves any. So the Borg Armor would covert all crits to hits and then Toreth would convert 1 hit to a crit.

Q) Does critical damage that have an immediate effect still get applied to the Borg ship even if they hit the Borg Ablative Hull Armor?

A) Yes.

Cards like Power Disruption, Munitions Failure, Direct Hit, and Minor Explosion will still work. Ongoing effects against the ship (like Stunned Helmsman) do not have any effect. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30223400/Official.jpg AParks: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/15664267#15664267 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30223400/Official.jpg CGuild: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1166819/st-aw-official-faq (Borg Upgrades #3)

Active shields take damage before the Borg Ablative Hull Armor (i.e. Ships only receive damage cards when taking damage to the hull) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30223400/Official.jpg AParks: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/15658333#15658333
