Star Trek vs Star Wars:

The Beginning

In one universe, it is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...

But in another universe, separate to this one, it is a period of relative peace. Five years after the end of the Dominion War, the United Federation of Planets and the other political entities of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants are rebuilding their fleets and colonies, with treaties being signed by all governments respecting and allying themselves with each other.

In the midst of this peace, one ship, relatively unknown in the midst of this new era, is trudging along performing tasks that would normally be done by older ships close to retirement. This ship, however, is on the verge of participating in events that will change the paths of both universes unpredictably...

Chapter 1: Separate Beginnings

The deep depths of space were littered with stars. In each of them was a system with a star or two, and an assorted amount of planets. No sound came from any of these, as the vacuum of space prevents sound from travelling through it.

The vacuum was not alone, however, as the large hull of a galaxy class starship broke through the scenery. The ship, the USS Arizona NCC-70199, moved through the vacuum as if it were made of nothing. It's federation crew were using the ship to explore and protect in a pacifist manner.

Captain's log stardate 57200.59. The Arizona is nearing the end of it's patrol of the Ivor sector. My crew and I have been out here on the edge of federation space for over 3 years, and are looking forward to finally docking in at starbase 75.

On the main bridge, Captain Darius Trent sat in his command chair, issuing orders to his surrounding crewmen and officers. He had been in command of the Arizona since the day it was launched, the day before the dominion war. The ship was one of the six original hulls put away for storage for use at a later date. First contact with the Dominion and the Borg however, forced starfleet to press these hulls into service however, and with a few modifications, was made to be a true vessel of war, resistant to the phased polaron beams that the dominion utilised at the time, and was adapted to resist the Breen Energy Dampening Weapon alongside the rest of the Federation fleet. The ship was a proud survivor of operation return, the first battle of chin'toka and the battle of cardassia. Now however, she spent her days patrolling a small area of Federation space close to the Typhon expanse, a region of space known for temporal anomalies, and occasionally going in there for survey work. It almost seemed as if Starfleet Command had forgotten they even existed at points, as the ship was rarely pulled into the local outpost, starbase 75, for anything close to routine maintenance. That, however, was about to change.

"Sir, I'm getting some very strange readings from the Ivor system."reported lieutenant Jason Horan, the young officer at sciences, interrupting darius's thoughts. "Don't tell me it's another borg invasion." complained Lieutenant Sabrina Hawk, who was at the helm. The human female's brother had been assimilated by the borg in an incident where the Enterprise-E had gone back in time in order to prevent the cybernetic beings from assimilating earth before it discovered warp travel.

"Now let's not get down in the bogs about that Lieutenant" replied commander Miral Aldrin, the ship's young First Officer. "We all know what happened to your brother when he was spacewalking with Picard to remove the Enterprise's deflector dish."

"What can you say about these readings are so far?" Asked Darius, attempting to change the topic of the conversation.

"Well, it's not Borg for a start" Horan replied. "I'm comparing against the database right now, but all signs seem to mark this as an anomaly never encountered before"

"Understood."replied Dariyan in a cautious manner. "Lieutenant, how long will it take us to reach the Ivor system?"

"Warp 5 will take us there in approximately 2 hours" answered Hawk. "the Crazy Horse and the Galway are also in the area, but they're in the middle of cargo runs to Starbase 75."

"Understood" replied Darius. "Helm, lay in a course for the anomaly. Th'etonnor, send a message to the nearest outpost about our discovery."

"Yes captain." answered Th'etonnor, the Andorian Lieutenant Commander at tactical.

"Course laid in captain" announced Hawk. "ready to engage warp 5 at your command."

"Hit it." commanded the captain, his usual catch phrase for when he wanted something done.

And all at once, the massive hull of the Arizona swerved around to align with the Ivor system, then the warp nacelles did their magic, creating a bubble around the ship that bent the space around the Arizona so that it would travel faster that light without any time dilation effects. From the outside, it appeared as if the ship stretched before disappearing in a flash of light.

Above tatooine, the space was as silent as usual for a desert planet that only smugglers and the occasional cargo ship ever visited. This planet, one of the many lonely worlds in the outer rim, was one that was neglected by the Empire, and that left the Hutts with free reign over the planet. That though, was about to change.

Out of the depths of space, a small corvette, the Tantive IV, appeared out of hyperspace, before moving along as fast as it could. In pursuit of it, an imperial star destroyer, the Devastator, emerged from hyperspace as well, and started to bombard the helpless corvette. Both ships were exchanging fire, and it looked as if the much smaller corvette was in a losing battle.

On the corvette in question, Princess Leia stood on the bridge as shot after shot hit the durasteel hull of the ship. This ship, her personal starship for nearly 3 years, was secretly carrying plans for the empires latest super weapon the Death Star. She didn't know how the imperials had managed to track the Tantive IV from Scarif, but she did know that if she wanted to survive, she had to act now.

"They're attempting to hit the reactor" called out the officer at tactical. "Shields are at 10%."

"Maintain fire and heading." Commanded Captain Raymus Antilles.

"Sir I don't think we can maintain this for much longer." reported the tactical officer. "We were already damaged as it was, now we're exchanging fire with this star destroyer. I don't think we can-" Those were his last words before his console violently exploded, sending sparks everywhere and causing alarms to go off across the ship.

An astromech droid who was on the bridge at the time connected himself to the nearest interface, before speaking in a flurry of beeps and whistles.

"That last hit took out the main reactor" translated a crew member on the bridge.

"Give me the Death Star plans" cried out the princess. "We've got to complete our mission." A lieutenant gave her the plans as she ran off into the bellows of the ship.

The star destroyer ceased pounding the already helpless Tantive before increasing its speed to catch up to the drifting vessel. But before it could lock its tractor beam on the stricken vessel, the spatial rift, which had been sitting there for two hours by then, reappeared in front of the stricken cruiser. With no engines to stop it or slow it down, the Tantive IV drifted helplessly into the anomaly, the Devastator abruptly stopping as it appeared.

"My lord, the Tantive IV has disappeared into the anomaly." reported the first officer of the Devastator, Jason Kerala. "Shall we wait and send some fighters after her?"

"No." replied Lord Vader, who was overseeing the entire operation from the bridge. "It could be very well an attempt from them to escape. Have two other ships secure the area while we pursue them into the anomaly."

"Yes my Lord." answered Kerala

"And Captain" called out Vader.

"Yes my lord?" asked Kerala

"The plans for the Death Star are onboard that ship." he reminded. "Should you find that they escape our grasp, you would not like to experience what becomes of you."

"...yes lord vader" replied Kerala. He walked away with a much more hurried pace as Vader looked on, his breathing mask hiding the charred smile that lay beneath.

And without further adieu, the Devastator fired it's ion engines at maximum thrust. The anomaly slowly expanded to fit the Devastator as it approached, before absorbing the Devastator into the blueish core of it's essence. The anomaly flared into space, bright enough to be seen on the surface of Tatooine before disappearing as if it never existed.
