Debris

The other day I did the Borg battlefield patrol in the Delta quadrant. After playing missions a couple of times, I always begin to think about some details. In this patrol you have to inspect debris. I suppose it is from borg cubes or larger constructions.
The debris, where did it come from, what has happened. If a cube is blown up it will desintegrate and form debris, but what keeps the debris together in one area. A force is at work to blow it apart, what force does the debris to stop blowing away in the endlesness of space?

My completely unfounded, unproven, and entirely based on a highly rudimentary understanding of physics, regarding ships flying along the same axis, is thus. The moon generally rotates around the same path of Earth without changing much. Earth does the same around the sun, in fact most of the planets revolve around the sun on a pretty even plane. There are differences, yes, but for the most part on the big solar system scale, everything on a mostly even plane. Galaxy is pretty much similar (just increased a much larger scale), Everything rotates on a relatively flat axis around that big gravitational force in the center of the Milky Way. So ships all travel on an equally relatively flat axis, with varying distances up and down in pitch depending on where they are going and they just adjust to meet each other as they approach. Again, just a complete technobabble i have nothing to support this theory (especially considering that the 'relatively flat plain' of the Galaxy is still countless lightyears in height, it gives a bit of credence to why everything is, generally along the same path.
I never considered this before, but now whenever I go to scan some cube debris, I'll stop and think about how unrealistic it is for the garbage to have all stuck together after the explosion.

Way to break my immersion!
