This is...a crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek.

Note: a crossover, not a versus. There is a difference.

And now I shall go into a rant about how a lot of these crossovers simply don't work. There are some good SW/ST crossovers out there, but a lot are written by people with biases toward either Star Trek or Star Wars. I don't like Star Wars as much as Star Trek, but until the NJO it was right behind the USS Enterprise.

Here's the deal. With the exception of possibly a pirate boarding action, there won't be a single space battle here. No star destroyers or Sovereign-classes will duke it out. Instead, here's some of the things I might do...

Ackbar and Picard sitting down for tea.

Han Solo learning Data is an android after becoming great friends with him.

Lowbacca, Chewbacca and Worf fighting-together.

Beverly Crsher and Tenel Ka getting to know one another.

Maybe Pellaeon will join Ackbar and Picard...

Before I start, this post was edited by SarkaVrae. Thanks, Jody!

Here we go!

Where No Jedi Has Gone Before

Prologue

He was dead. Of that much, he was certain.

James T. Kirk held up his hands, or at least the spiritual equivalent. They were translucent, and had an odd blue tinge to them. He felt, in a paradoxical way, more alive than he ever had before.

He looked up just in time to see that Starfleet captain from the future. "Jean-Luc!" He yelled. "I'm not dead." He paused. "I can't be dead. I was supposed to die alone."

Just ahead, Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the late starship Enterprise, pulled a corpse out of a twisted metal framework. Kirk walked up to him and peered over his shoulder. No emotion was visible on his face as he stared into his own lifeless eyes.

Jean-Luc closed his eyes and made the sign of the cross. Merde. I'm sorry, Jim. I should have been able to defeat Soran and… A tear ran down his cheek as he gathered up Jim's body. "I will see you get a proper burial. It's the least I can do." Jean-Luc began walking straight towards Jim, who was only mildly surprised when the captain passed right through him.

Jim shivered at the experience. "I don't like that."

"It's not so bad, once you get used to it."

Jim spun around and instantly shifted into a standard Starfleet defensive stance. After about half a second, he remembered his intangibility.

"Who…are you?" He asked as he looked at the man. Like Jim, his body had a blue tinge to it and was translucent. Unlike Jim, who wore his Starfleet uniform, he wore a simple gray shirt, white pants and a brown robe. His face was partially obscured by a hood. Jim walked up to him. "My name is James T. Kirk, late of the starship Enterprise. I ask again: who are you?"

The man pulled down the hood. "I am to be your guide into what comes next. It will be confusing and perhaps a little frightening, but I can assure you it will be worth it in the end." The man's blue eyes shone with amusement as he spoke the next words. "Consider it the true 'final frontier'."

Jim turned around slowly and looked up. By now Jean-Luc was halfway up the mountain. "A friend of mine once said that I can take death, and turn it into a fighting chance." He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess my chances were all used up." He looked at the man. "So, what force sent you here, the angels or the devils?"

A low chuckle escaped from the man's lips. "I wouldn't call all of them angels, but it is a force of the light that sent me." He walked up to Jim and, much to his surprise, placed a hand on Jim's shoulder. "You have done much good, James T. Kirk. It's now time for you to rest. Let the burden of saving the galaxy fall onto the next generation's shoulders." For a second, he hesitated. Then a thought struck him. I'm dead. What good can come from hanging around this plane of existence when there's a new one just waiting? "All right, lead the way Mr.…" He hesitated as a look of confusion swept his face. "By the way, what's your name?"

The man laughed. "I apologize." He bowed in a slightly exaggerated manner. "I am Obi-Wan Kenobi, but you can call me Ben." Ben put his arm around Jim's shoulders as the two walked off into the light. "Oh, Ben?"

"Yes?"

"Call me Jim."

Please read and review. The next post will be Tuesday. I also need to know if anyone wants to be PMed when I update. I am VERY thorugh with that, just to let you know.

This looks good. I like ST TNG too, although I like SW OT better (probably because of Han....well... ok FOR SURE because of Han! tongue )

Anyway, I will be reading this. Maybe you can have Han get a bit jealous of Riker looking at Leia, unless Riker is already married to Deanne in this. Of course, Deanne could get even and flirt with Han, then! LOL! laugh

first of all, I didn't help all that much, stinker. tongue

i really liked the whole idea, of them all getting a chance to interact and talk, etc. this scene in particular is cool b/c it's just such a different concept. i loved it! happy i really can't wait to see what else you write in here. please do PM me about it when you get it done (that is, of course, unless i know about it b/c i get the honor of reading over it before you post!! hahaha!).

great job, Jon. good story, great beginning, & congrats on getting me to read in Beyond! happy

Now this looks interesting... I've always been a ST and SW fan...

But I'm curious how this is going to work with Jim being dead...

Spock: Fascinating.

Kirk: I'm... dead...?!

Bones: You're dead, Jim.

**The cliché is interrupted by the incoherent roar of a Klingon warrior, appearing in a smoke-filled hatchway at one end of a red-lit room**

**at the far end of the room, a blue lightsaber blade ignites in the steam and shadows, and Luke Skywalker steps into view**

TNG Klingon: Qapla', jIyDay!

**charges with Sword of Honour**

**thrum-swish**

**two near-simultaneous thuds as the TNG Klingon hits the ground**

A silent column of red-gold light sparkles into life, and a TOS-era Imperial-race Klingon, Specialist Azhay tai-Kohr, offers a thumbs-up to Luke.

Klingon: Kai Kassai, Reb!

**Meanwhile, in another part of the franchise**

Archer (looking in mirror): Oh, boy...

Looking forward to seeing this one continued... grin

Yay! I've got reviews!

GreatOne-Thank you. And hmm...that does sound like a good idea. Riker and Troi aren't married yet, but they're dating in my fic. And this is post-YJK era-but no Yuzzie scarheads.

Sara_Kenobi-Thank you. I try.

Jody-You helped, and that's all that counts. And yeah, I was going for a different concept with this one. Having a SW and a ST character just...talk seems to be very rare. I just wanted to try it.

RedGold-Thank you. And the post was sort of a test, to see if people would go for it. The real fun will be with the TNG crew-and one half human, half Vulcan.

Thrawn_McEwok- raised_brow laugh
Except for the last part, I have no earthly idea what to make of your response. So...thank you.

Okay, remember if you want to be PMed when I update, you have to tell me.

Here we go!

*****
Chapter One: Crossing the Barrier
Captain’s log: Stardate 53010.3. With the end of the Dominion Incursion, Starfleet hopes that diplomatic relations might be opened with the Romulans. We have been allowed to retrieve Ambassador Spock so he might address the Federation Council on the current state of the Romulan Empire.

Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the Enterprise, stood at attention in transporter room three. A column of energy appeared on the transporter platform, coalescing into a humanoid form. Ambassador Spock stepped down from the platform and stood in front of Picard. The captain noted that Spock’s face seemed to carry a few more wrinkles since last they met. Still, the Vulcan carried himself with a quiet dignity that few could match. He walked up to Picard and held up his hand. “Peace and long life.” He said, spreading his fingers in the traditional Vulcan salute. Picard nodded and returned the gesture. “Live long and prosper.”

Spock nodded. “It is good to see you again, Captain.” Picard nodded, and the two left the transporter room. “How is Romulus?” He asked. Spock’s right eyebrow arched. “The populace threw its full support behind the war once the Dominion’s plans were leaked. It also led to a lot of the citizens getting involved in issues they might not have.” Spock let out a breath. “The war has possibly done more good for the Romulans than bad. Illogical, but true.” Picard nodded. “War is the least logical course of action, but sometimes the most necessary.” They entered a turbo lift. “Deck eleven.” Picard said.

While the turbo lift rose, Picard and Spock continued talking. “We have Ambassador Worf with us. Perhaps you two can-” Before Picard could continue, the turbo lift shuddered around them. Both men also felt their vision dim, as if the lights inside the car shorted out for a moment. Picard tapped his combadge. “Bridge, what just happened?”

At the top of the Enterprise’s saucer section, Commander William Riker looked up from the science station. “We’re not sure, Captain. The ship dropped out of warp, and then everyone’s vision went fuzzy for a moment. Frankly, I’m not sure what happened.” He glanced up at the ops, currently occupied by the ship’s second officer Lieutenant Commander Data. Data glanced up and shrugged. “I have no idea what is going on, sir.”

Riker let out a groan and looked up at the main viewer. “Helm, check the position of the stars against our maps. Let’s see where we are.” The main viewer flickered from a shot of space to a three-dimensional picture of local space on one side. Various maps of star clusters and sectors flashed on the other as the computer tried to match up where they were. After a few minutes, the computer spoke. “Unable to identify location.”

Data turned back to Riker and smiled. “Well, we are explorers. It appears we can now do quite a bit of exploring.” Riker scowled and turned back to the science station. “Get to work on finding out what happened.” Data nodded and sat back down. “Aye, sir.”

The turbolift door opened, allowing Picard and Spock to enter. “Report.” The captain said. Riker looked up and over. “We don’t have any real answers, Captain. One moment we were going along at warp seven, and the next our visions dim and our sensors go offline.” Spock’s right eyebrow arched. “I am afraid, Commander Riker, that that is often the case.” He walked over to the station and leaned forward. The first officer immediately felt a bit small and inadequate being in the proximity of such a legend. It quickly passed as the half-Vulcan’s hands flew over the console, checking readings and sensor logs. “Mister Data, I am going to perform a quantum analysis. Would you assist me?” The pale-skinned android cocked his cranium to the side and scratched his head. “I would be happy to, but what would be the point?”

Before Spock could answer, a new voice spoke up. “Captain, we have an unidentified ship entering sensor range.” Picard turned to the source of the voice, an Andorian tactical officer by the name of Tirsek. “Can you identify it?” He asked. Tirsek let out a snarl. “I can’t, sir. It doesn’t match any known configuration in our database.” She looked up and let out a sigh. “Sorry, sir.”

Picard waved her off and walked over to his chair. He sat down and looked up at the main viewer. “Let’s put this new arrival onscreen.” The image changed from space to a small but growing disk. “Magnify.” The disk grew into a larger one, and details were now evident. Two triangular prongs stuck out of the forward section, and a large sensor dish jutted from the dorsal surface. Picard’s trained eyes also picked out an obvious weapons emplacement at the top. Tirsek spoke up. “Sir, we are being hailed Audio only.” The captain nodded. “Put it through.”

A male’s voice came through. “Ah, this is Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon. Are you people lost?” Picard’s eyebrow arched in a most Vulcan-like fashion. “Ah…I believe so. I’m Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation starship Enterprise. Can you please tell us our location?” A short laugh came over. “Heh, that’s a good one.” There was a short pause. “Wait, you really don’t know?”

Just then, the turbolift doors opened, allowing an imposing Klingon to exit. He wore black pants, a tunic and a robe laden with medals. Ambassador Worf walked over to Picard’s chair and looked over at the viewer. “I apologize for the delay, Captain. I was doing my calisthenics when…it happened.” Picard nodded in understanding, then addressed Han Solo again. “I’m afraid not, Captain Solo. It appears we’ve accidentally crossed a large expanse of space in little time, throwing us into uncharted space. We’d appreciate any help.”

On the Falcon, Han’s brown eyes looked over the strange ship. He had to admit, it had some fine lines to it. “It looks like she’s moving, even while standing still.” He muttered. Next to him, Chewie nodded. {I would give anything to look at that thing’s engines.} The Wookiee growled. Han leaned forward and toggled the com switch. “Captain, you’re near the Yavin System. My brother runs the Jedi Academy on the fourth moon of the gas giant. If you’d like, I can escort you there.” Chewie looked over at Han, but he waved him off. “Don’t worry, pal. I’ve got a good feeling about this.”

incredible! very simple movement, but very vivid as well--this whole scene played out in my head incredibly sharp & easily.

a big grin is still on my face with Han talking to the Enterprise--man, this is too cool!

great job Jon! {i even liked the way you put chewie's words in brackets like that, very cool}

Jody-Thank you. I like having Chewie talk.

Thrawn-Yup. Now, no Q. But Spock miiiight have a conversation or two with Luke and some of the Jedi Masters. ANd now I've got an idea...SPock and Mara Jade...

tongue

RedGold-Yeah. And thank you.

GreatOne-Han's gotta have a good feeling about something eventually. It's the law of averages or something. Thank you.

Chris- Woah! Didn't expect you here, dude. Yeah, those ones were bad...but remember that you wrote them too. I am planning on giving my copies the MST3K treatment within the next few months.

Here we go!

*****
Picard thought for a moment before speaking. “We’d be happy to take you up on your offer, Captain Solo. Picard out.” Tirsek closed the channel and spoke. “Captain, I think I know where this Solo fellow is talking about. There’s a star system about two light years out, and sensors not only indicate a gas giant but one with several moons.” Picard organized his thoughts before speaking. “Mister Data, continue the quantum scan and coordinate with Ambassador Spock. I want a report by the time we hit this Yavin System.” He stood up and turned to Worf. “Ambassador, we may need you once we get there.” Worf nodded. “I am at your disposal, Captain.”

The captain nodded. “Thank you.” He turned to helm and spoke. “Set course for the Yavin System, warp seven.” The Enterprise’s bow rose and the impulse engines fired, sending the Sovereign-class battle cruiser forward and past the Millennium Falcon. The comparatively tiny CEC YT-1300 freighter pirouetted on its axis and followed behind. The twin nacelles of the Enterprise flashed, creating a warp field and sending the ship hurtling forward at 656 times the speed of light. The Falcon followed and, with a flash of light, entered hyperspace.
*****
Captain’s log: Stardate 53015.7. The Enterprise is now in orbit around the fourth moon of a gas giant. Hopefully we might be able to contact someone in authority there. Meanwhile, Commander Data and Ambassador Spock have a theory on what has happened to us.

Lieutenant Commander Data stood at the head of the table with a weird smile on his face. Picard, Riker, Worf, Spock, Tirsek, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Councilor Deanna Troi sat at the conference table and waited for Data to begin. “I believe Ambassador Spock and I have figured out what has happened. We have crossed over into an alternate reality through a tear in the space/time continuum. Our warp engines use continuum distortion propulsion, so the Enterprise was able to punch through fairly easily.” Worf massaged his forehead and sank down into his chair. “Not again…” He muttered.

Data looked up and over at the ambassador. “I am afraid so, Ambassador. Fortunately, we should not be jumping realities.” Worf let out a breath. “For that, I am eternally grateful.” A sudden thought crossed his mind. “Wait, what are we doing here? Shouldn’t we head back before the hole closes?” Spock turned and looked over at the agitated Klingon. “The rift sealed immediately after we crossed over, Ambassador. It is entirely logical to assume that our warp engines will be more than sufficient to reopen it.” Data nodded in agreement.“ Worf shrugged, not entirely convinced but willing to wait.

Picard looked about. “I also think this is an unprecedented opportunity for exploration. Think about it-we’re in another universe. And we have a fairly reliable means of getting back to Federation space.” He slammed his hands on the table and pushed up into a vertical position. “Commander Tirsek, contact this…Jedi Academy and see if they’d allow us to beam a small landing party down.” Tirsek nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Before she left, Riker called out. “And Tirsek, see if you can find out what a ’Jedi’ is.” She nodded once before leaving the conference room.
*****
Luke Skywalker stood out on the landing field, blue eyes cast up at the sky. The gas giant of Yavin Prime dominated the sky, but if he enhanced his eyesight, he could just make out a small sliver of silver against the predominantly blue sky. Han and Chewie stood by him as well as a student of his, Tenel Ka Djo. She looked up slightly at Luke. “Master, may I ask why I am here?” Luke kept his eyes on the ship but spoke to Tenel Ka. “You’re a princess, Tenel Ka, and you’ve probably got more training in this sort of thing than most of us.”

Tenel Ka blanched. “But Master, I have rejected most of the teachings of my grandmother and the royal court.” Luke thought about the machinations and, in some cases, literally cutthroat politics of the Hapan court. “Then you are an even better choice than I thought.” He turned to Han. “So, when are they coming down?” Han shrugged and checked his wrist chrono. “Their captain said they’d be coming down in about five minutes.” He turned to Chewie. “You got a comlink?” The large Wookiee unclipped a small communicator from his baldric and handed it over to the roguish man. He held it up to his mouth and thumbed it on. “Enterprise, this is Han Solo. You planning on joining the welcome party anytime soon?”

On the Enterprise, Picard couldn’t help but smile. “We’ll be down shortly, Captain Solo.” He turned to his handpicked landing party. Ambassadors Spock and Worf and Commander Data were there in transporter room three. Riker had protested, but the Captain felt that it was more appropriate for him to go down.

The quartet stepped up onto the platform and readied themselves. “Coordinates are lokced in, sir.” Picard nodded. “Energize.” Each one was engulfed in a column of energy as their molecules were disassembled, converted to energy and reassembled on the moon’s surface. When Picard’s vision cleared, he saw three humans and one large humanoid. All had their mouths open in shock. “How the hell did you do that?” The older human said. Spock stepped forward and spread his fingers out in the Vulcan salute. “I apologize for our abrupt appearance. My name is-” He was interrupted by Luke, who stepped forward. “Ambassador Spock, right?” He held up his right hand and spread out his fingers down the middle in an imitation of Spock’s gesture. “I am Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. I welcome you to Yavin IV.”

Spock’s eyebrow arched. “Fascinating.” He then motioned to Picard, Data and Worf. “This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Commander Data and Ambassador Worf. We are representatives of the United Federation of Planets.” Luke nodded. “You already know Han and Chewie.” Han half-smiled and waved while Chewie bared his fangs and roared a greeting. {Welcome!} He soon focused his brown eyes on Worf. The Klingon bared his own fangs and let a growl rumble forth from his throat.

Luke motioned to the fourth member of his welcoming committee. “And this is Tenel Ka, princess and heir to the Hapes Consortium.” Tenel Ka stepped forward, her flame-red hair trailing behind. “I greet you.” Worf glanced at her, clad in lizard-skin armor and with a missing left forearm and concluded. She is a warrior born.

Spock looked into Luke’s blue eyes, while Luke lightly probed Spock through the Force. His mental discipline is immense. Spock’s green eyes focused on Luke. “Master Skywalker, we have determined that the Enterprise has crossed into another universe.” Chewie’s mouth dropped at that. {Really? How powerful are those engines of yours?} Han shrugged. “Probably not as powerful as the Falcon’s.” Spock’s jaw worked for a bit before turning back to Luke. “Among my species, there is a technique known as the Vulcan mind meld. It can allow the transfer of a great deal of information over a short period of time. Would that be acceptable?” Luke nodded.

The Vulcan raised his right hand, spread his fingers out and placed his hand on Luke’s face. “My mind to your mind, your thoughts to my thoughts…” Tenel Ka gasped as she felt both Luke and Spock’s mind becoming one entity. Luke gasped. “The needs of the many…” Spock finished. “Outweigh the needs…the Force?” Luke struggled to articulate. “The Jedi…the Sith…balance must be kept…Sarek?” Spock nodded, and his glassy eyes focused. “And Anakin…” Words, images and feeling crossed the mental bridge between the two men until…

Spock broke off the link. He shook his head while Data stepped forward. “Are you all right, Ambassador?” Spock turned and let the faintest ghost of a smile cross his lips. “I am…fine, Commander.” He straightened his robes and looked over. “It was obviously the will of the Force that we arrive here.” Luke shook his head, sending his short blond hair swishing about. “No. It was only logical the tear in the space/time continuum happen so near a gravity well” Worf looked up at Chewie. “Did he talk like that before the mind meld?” The big Wookiee shrugged, not sure what to make of it either.
