	I tried my hand at a Star Wars/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover some time ago, but it hit a snag in the story that I simply couldn't get past at the time. I've gone back, changed a few things, and am hoping that things will work out better this time around. Disclaimer: All characters remain the property of those holding the copyrights; I'm making nothing off of this. And now, without further delay... Across the Void “This is decidedly strange,” General Soontir Fel said to Admiral Parck aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Vengeance. Several somewhat garbled messages had been received from Chiss patrols sent out from the Hand of Thrawn. After the disappearance of a light cruiser, Fel and Parck decided that a full-scale investigation was necessary. After all, something had to be preventing the ships from making contact. The two officers decided that the situation just might be important enough to require the presence of a Star Destroyer. When they reached the last known point of the cruiser, all they found was rubble, and a derelict of unknown origin. Fel had ordered a team to board the derelict and investigate. “The team leader should have reported in by now,” Admiral Voss Parck agreed. “I myself was beginning to wonder what was going on over there.” “Whatever it is, I don’t like it,” Fel said. Staring out at the dull gray hull of the derelict. “If it weren’t for the fact that those are our people out there, I’d say to just blow the derelict up and get out of here” “General, Admiral, I’m getting some strange readings from the derelict,” said the portside sensor operator. “Well, don’t keep it a secret,” Fel said, somewhat annoyed. He didn’t like mysteries. From his experience, they usually resulted in people getting killed. “Sir, it’s almost as though the other ship is beginning to power up.” “Raise the shields,” Parck ordered, turning to one of the weapons officers. He appeared to be precognizant, for a moment later, a brilliant green beam of light lanced out from the other ship. “Admiral, whatever that was, it cut out shields in half!” “All weapons stations, fire at will,” Fel ordered. The Vengeance turned its full destructive power on the other ship. A short but vicious battle ensued, one that resulted in the loss of half the Vengeance’s turbolasers and the destruction of the derelict. “The Remnant will need to hear about this,” Parck said as the Vengeance headed back to Niraun, and the Hand of Thrawn. “Might as well notify the New Republic as well and save some time,” Fel said. “Though I don’t exactly love them, I think we may need all the help we can get. This may, after all, have only been a probe. If I’m right, we may have a much bigger problem than I thought.” ++++++++++++ “Luke, what was your impression of the Chiss when you and Mara were on Niraun?” asked Leia Organa Solo. “Honorable, but also fiercely independent,” replied Luke Skywalker. “What makes you ask?” “We just received word from Niraun that they encountered an alien craft of unknown origin. Soontir Fel sent a team aboard the ship, which appeared to be derelict. A few moments later, it opened fire with an unknown weapon that was able to, in one shot, strip away half the shields of a Star Destroyer.” Luke whistled in surprise. “We don’t have anything capable of doing that, do we?” “Not unless the military’s hiding some kind of superweapon.” “Probably another of Palpatine’s toys,” Han Solo said. “Something that he left out there, but didn’t bother to tell anybody about.” “Or else it was so secret that he didn’t want to tell anybody other than those he had complete faith in,” Mara Jade Skywalker replied. "Either way, I think we need to do something about this," Han said. "I think I'll go see what I can dig up." "Han, I don't think this is the time for the Senate..." Leia began. "That's why I'm not going to take it to the Senate. I'm gonna get in touch with Lando, and see what he's come across. And maybe I'll even contact her old boss," he said, jerking a thumb in Mara's direction. "And if that isn't enough, maybe Chewie and I will take run out towards Adumar. Maybe they've heard something." Somehow, Leia thought, this wasn't surprising. "Just be careful, okay? I don't want to have to come chasing after you." "Hey," Han said, throwing her a half-grin. "It's me." That's what I'm afraid of, Leia thought. She could see, from the look in Luke and Mara's eyes, that they were probably thinking something similar. ++++++++++++ I'll be posting only once a week on this fic, so as to avoid delaying my other current fics. The next post, therefore, will be up next Friday, as we drop into the other universe. Force be with you, Tych_sel -----signature----- "I had a dream I was a Jedi." - A.

	FLYSWATTER: I'll add you to the list, and I'm glad to see you've taken an interest. Jade_eyes: I only hope it will turn out to be fantab. And without further delay, let's jump over into the other universe. “The Borg don’t simply vanish, Data,” said Commander William T. Riker. “And even when they do appear to vanish, they’ve usually got some reason for doing so.” “Agreed, Commander,” Data said, turning just enough to look back at the captain and first officer. “Nevertheless, they have vanished through the rift.” “A rift that now appears to have vanished as well,” said Jean-Luc Picard. “And until we know where they’ve gone, there’s little chance we can follow them. I presume you’ve already swept the area for chronitons?” The latest attempt by the Borg to assimilate the Federation had met with failure in the 22nd Century. But the Collective had show itself to be persistent, and Picard was certain that they would not allow one failure to stop them. “Have Geordi take a look at the readings from the rift before it dissipated,” Picard said, rising from the center seat. “I’m going to contact Starfleet Command and see how they’d like us to proceed. Number One, you have the bridge.” *** Main engineering was a little quieter than usual. Data wasn’t sure if some of the crew were still remembering that humanity’s future had nearly ended here, or it was simply due to the fact that there wasn’t much that the engineers could do regarding the current situation. “There’s an unusual matrix to the rift’s design,” Geordi La Forge said as he stood across from Data, the main status table between them. “Odd readings as far as the neutrinos. Whatever this was, it wasn’t natural. How the Borg came up with the ability to create it is the question.” “The captain would likely agree,” Data said. “But I believe he wanted us to determine where it went.” “Hard to tell, without anything to actually observe,” Geordi said. “Bring up the readings from when the Borg created the rift. I thought I noticed something weird.” The readings came up, along with the image the Enterprise had recorded of the rift’s creation. “Yeah,” the dark-skinned engineer said. “Right there, Data.” “The beam fluctuates,” Data said, seeing exactly what La Forge had. “But why?” Geordi asked. “Computer, play back at 1/10 speed.” The image slowed, and for a moment, beyond the cloudy nature of the rift, Geordi could see stars. “Definitely another region of space. Doesn’t explain why they’d need this kind of power…” “Unless they are reaching across dimensions,” Data said. “The Collective may have decided that it must grow elsewhere if it is to assimilate the Federation.” “You mean they might take over another dimension, one that hasn’t had our experience,” Geordi said. “And then they come back here, with a whole additional universe’s worth of drones…” “Not a pleasant picture,” Data said. “Though perhaps the fluctuations might mean that the Borg have not yet gained full control over the rift.” “Either way, I think we have to try and recreate the passage. We can’t doom another universe to assimilation. Doing this isn’t going to be easy, and might burn out the deflector. Damn, and we just had it replaced.” The previous dish had been sacrificed in the 22nd Century to prevent the Borg from making contact with that time’s Collective. “Engineering to Picard. Captain, I think we can recreate the Borg’s rift.” Picard’s voice came back. “Conference lounge, five minutes.” *** “The question isn’t can we do it, but should we do it?” Geordi said. “We all know what the Borg are capable of. But wouldn’t the Prime Directive seem to apply?” “Not necessarily,” Riker said. “If the Borg have begun to assimilate another galaxy, I’d say that the Prime Directive goes out the proverbial window.” “Starfleet seems to agree with you, Number One,” Picard said. “They’ve authorized me to take whatever action is necessary to stop the Borg. Geordi, how long will it take for you to recreate the rift?” “Shouldn’t take me more than two or three hours. Hardest part will be reconfiguring the defelector dish. We might want to evacuate those sections closest, to avoid side effects from any radiation.” “Make it so, Mr. La Forge. Doctor Crusher, I’d like you to prep sickbay in case we wind up with casualties. We don’t know what we might find on the other side. Dismissed.” ++++++++++++ We'll be heading back into the GFFA in the post for next week. Force be with you, Tych_sel -----signature----- "I had a dream I was a Jedi." - A.

	Wonderful post! Maybe I am off base but now that I think about it The Borg and The Vong remind me of each other. Only one is a machine soceity and the other organic. They also both like to go into new territory to dominate the locals. Can also think of a few other common grounds. Since you did not mention them, I take it that there are no Vong in this story. Yes Han and Riker would be quite a pair, but could you see Threepo and Mr. Data tring to deal with each other? Thanks for the PM. -----signature----- New Orleans will rise from the ashes!

	“The Borg don’t simply vanish, Data,” said Commander William T. Riker. “And even when they do appear to vanish, they’ve usually got some reason for doing so.” Ha ha, true enough! Suprb reasoning of the Enterprise crew. Very nice characterizations as well. I think this is going to be quite the enjoyable ride. -----signature----- Still crazy after all these years.

	Jade_eyes: Yeah, there's no enemy in the Star Trek universe (other than perhaps Q) who could have challenged both universes. FLYSWATTER: No Vong in this story, though it would be funny to see the Vong and the Borg go at each other... AndrewLightstar: Glad you're enjoying things. A PM will be no problem. Leona: Glad the characterizations are good enough for you. And I can only hope it continues to be worthy of your attention. Without further delay, here comes the next post! There had been a time when the appearance of an Imperial controlled Star Destroyer in the skies over Coruscant would have been a harbinger for disaster. With peace, though, came security. So when the Imperial Star Destroyer Chimeara reverted to realspace over Coruscant, the people manning the defense systems went to a heightened state of alert, but not to full battlestations as they had during the Galactic Civil War. Moments later, a shuttle dropped from the Star Destroyer's hanger bay. Aboard was Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Fleet. The shuttle touched down at the Imperial City landing platform, and Pellaeon disembarked. Pellaeon, with all the weight of his seventy years in the fleet, disembarked, accompanied by Captain Ardiff, the commander of the Chimeara. Waiting for him were General Garm Bel Iblis, representing the New Republic's military, and Cal Omas, representing the Senate. "Welcome to Coruscant, Admiral," Omas said. "Though I must say, it isn't everyday that the Supreme Commander decides to pay us a visit." "Indeed," Pellaeon replied. "Let us go indoors, for I don't wish to have our words overheard." The party headed off the landing platforms, towards the walkways leading to the Imperial Palace. "Now that we're inside, what does bring you to Coruscant?" Bel Iblis asked. "I presume that by now you've heard of what the Chiss encountered. Due to the fact that there are Imperials on Niraun, there were a few items that they opted to send us. Baron Fel arrived with a crate, which contained a cybernetic hand. Not a biosynthetic hand, but a truly cybernetic one. And to make matters worse, there were some parts of this hand that our best scientists haven't been able to understand. We hoped that your people might be able to make some sense of it." "Before we discuss it, is there any danger to our people?" Bel Iblis said, as though he were a little suspicious of a possible trap. "None that we have been able to ascertain," Pellaeon replied. "At least, not from just the hand." ++++++++++++ “We’re as ready as we’re going to be,” Geordi said from the engineering station at the rear of the bridge. “I can’t promise that this is going to work, Captain, but all the trials and computer models say that it should.” “We won’t know until we try though,” Picard said. “Mr. La Forge, make it so.” “Creating energy pulse now,” Geordi said. Outside, the main deflector dish grew brighter, and a golden beam shot out from it. About a kilometer away from the ship, space began to ripple and distort. What looked like a hole began to form, growing larger as it was fed by the energy pouring from the Enterprise’s deflector dish. “The neutrino level is astonishing,” Data said from the forward station. “Captain, I believe we are looking at an inter-dimensional wormhole.” “I thought that was impossible,” Riker said. “Apparently, the Borg found a way around whatever problems prevent such things from forming naturally,” Picard said. “Is the wormhole stable?” “Hard to say, sir, since we will likely have to cease powering it when we pass through. But it should hold long enough for us to pass through.” “Then take us in, Mr. Data. One half impulse.” The hole grew larger as the Enterprise approached, and the ship shuddered slightly as it crossed the threshold. “Steady as she goes, Mr. Data,” Picard said. The shudder became a pronounced shake as the majority of the ship crossed the threshold. “Captain, the wormhole is beginning to collapse,” Geordi said. “Full impulse, Data,” Picard said. The ship passed through the wormhole, but the sensors and viewer had both gone black. The shake subsided, and Picard looked back towards Geordi. “Damage, Mr. La Forge?” “Minimal damage to the deflector array. Better than I’d hoped for, Captain,” Geordi said with a smile. “Can you give us the viewer, Geordi?” “I can give you either viewer, or sensors, Captain.” “Give us the sensors then. Best we try and determine just where we are.” “”Captain,” Worf said a moment later. “We’re being approached by several small ships. They appear to be targeting us with lasers.” “Lasers?” Riker said, and astonished look on his face. “Who uses lasers?” ++++++++++++ That's all for now. Stay tuned for the next post, coming Friday!
