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 dariyan'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."
