Star Trek Vs Star Wars:

Project Chimaera

The tables have turned! Following the defeat of the Federation invasion force at Tatooine, the war has now favoured the Galactic Empire. With new ships, equipment and a thirst for vengeance, they have re-invaded Federation, Romulan and Klingon space, establishing spheres of control and occupancy across known space as they further expand their territory across the Galaxy.

Meanwhile, the Federation and it's allies have been struggling to counter these attacks. Without the advantage of confusion they had before, the Federation now has very few ships that can defend it from the Empire's new tactics. Furthermore, with the Klingons and Romulans too occupied with their own problems to help the Federation, they are once again alone in defending themselves from the Imperial invasion.

With morale at an all time low and battles happening all over Federation space, the Federation has resorted to more desperate measures. The USS Enterprise has been dispatched to Deep Space Nine to receive new orders which could turn the outcome of the war. If their mission fails, the fate of the entire quadrant could shift irreversibly...

Chapter 1: Lost Hope

In the depths of the Denorios Belt, asteroids tumbled and flew undisturbed. The belt had been where these relatively small lumps of rock, ice and minerals had lived for millions of years prior, ever since the Bajoran system had been formed inside the forge of a now forgotten Nebula. These leftovers from the creation we're now destined to aimlessly orbit their home star from billions of kilometres away, unless they were knocked out of place by an unseen force and either ejected out into deep space or pushed deeper into the system, where it would then orbit the Bajoran Star from a much closer perspective.

The asteroids were not alone, however, as an old Cardassian ore-processing station came into view. The station, now called Deep Space Nine, stood guard outside one of the most important Federation discoveries of the century, the first stable wormhole in existence. Over the years, it had survived attacks from multiple enemies, including the Klingons and Dominion, and was considered one of the most important outposts in existence.

A Sovereign Class ship approached Deep Space Nine, flying into the clearing where the station sat. The ship, identified as the USS Enterprise, glided up to one of the station's protruding arms, before precisely aligning itself with the airlock doors. As the station extended it's docking clamps to attach to the Enterprise, a welcoming party got ready in the docking area.

Outside the airlock, Colonel Kira Nerys stood in front of the doors as her senior staff got into position behind her. She was about to welcome the commanding officer of the Flagship of Starfleet, and while a welcoming party seemed unnecessary, especially in the current dire situation, but the pleasantry was still welcome for morale.

"Why are we doing this?" Impatiently asked Lieutenant Junior Grade Nog, the station's Chief Engineer. "Some of us have more important things to do."

"I told you this before Lieutenant," answered Kira, "we still hold to principle during wartime. Now you may not want this sort of thing, but Admiral Picard's the sort of person who likes this sort of thing."

"And how do you know that?"

"Because he's a very old human, and from what I can tell, old humans tend to cling to tradition like a blanket."

"...fine."

The doors suddenly began to hiss open, snapping everyone back to attention as they began to roll away. Within moments, the gear shaped doors had rolled away to reveal their temporary visitor; Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, followed by his first officer, Commander Worf, and his aide, Ensign Organa, who was accompanied by a small astromech. Kira has studied the Ensign's origins thoroughly beforehand, and was ready to expect anything different from this human from another universe.
