	"And yes, the Klingon Hamlet. I was terrified when I found it on my English teacher's shelf." What's even more scary is that there are people that think stuff adapted into fictional cultures is real...

	Okay before you all die of heart attacks, strokes, brain seizures, suicide, homicide, or other assorted death related things, hold your damn horses. There's just about 13-14 word translations. Sure some guy was too lazy to make up his language, but does that mean the entire Vong language is a Klingon rip off? Someone who's got a copy of this (shudders) Klingon dictionary, look up other names and words... there must be like a hundred more. If those translate to be something significant in Klingon, then.... well I agree with you guys... run like hell the trekkies are coming Hmmm... maybe the all the Trekkies invade the GFFA, kill all the Vong, and then we've got a whole brand new series... The Trekkie Invasion... and maybe Han dies in that W_K -----signature----- Recipient of the Golden Ewok™ Statuette and Golden Ewok™ No-Prize. Goin for a Nobel and Knighting next Wanna win a Lannik™?

	I actually have done extensive research on this subject in the past. The word Vong is Vietnamese for circle or revolution. Also, there is a Japanese word that yooks like Yuuzhan. The word is yusan, meaning excusion or outing. Yuuzhan Vong=Outer Circle, perhaps? I'd be interested to see other findings. -----signature----- God is great, the Lord of all.

	As a fan of both series, I find this to be...quite funny. Seriously, I can see how this would upset some people. And talk of Star Trek and Star Wars co-mingling is usually a powder keg, and each post is a lit match. Still, it doesn't have to be the two fighting. How's about Spock and Thrawn in a three-D chess match? Or could Picard defend C-3PO' sentience before a New Republic court? -----signature----- E-married to the wonderful DarthIshtar.

	I translated every word I could come across and they all worked. I don't even have the full dictionary, either. And the words are drawn from various authors.

	Sits wide eyed for a few minutes ... Brain kicks back in System reboot Run virus scan: negative, latest patch no virus So we defnitly have a situation here. But at least the Trekkies now know what will happen to their galaxy: in a millenium or so from the current startime the Klingons will have destroyed everything in it and will be relocating out inside huge blobes made of coral... So what really happened: Trekkies invaded Del Rey Publ. and set up shop there. Then they bought the publishing rights on Star Wars and decided to bring to bear a series that would forever dominate the SW destiny. But because they are less confident in the wisdom of their ways than those enlightened with the Force, they decided to insert some telltales to show that they have sucdeeded. All Trekkies: no offense meant @Pelranius: No, definily nowhere like German -dm -----signature----- To be a Traitor is not the first step towards Betrayal.

	This is weird, but I don't think it's anything that merits lawsuits or anything. As long as this isn't the first of many ST/SW crossovers... This reminds, is there somewhere where talking about ST vs. SW is appropriate on the JC forums? My friend, a total Trekkie, and me, who enjoys both ST and SW, often argue about who would win, and it'd be interesting to see how the folks who like ST as well as SW think such a conflict would go. -----signature----- Corran Horn, the greatest Jedi of them all.

	I'm afraid that at some point in the past, I have seen that term (or one similar) used, Even_Piell.

	I believe Guinastasia came up with Star Warriors a while back, which I rather liked.
