Prologue
He was dead. Of that much, he was certain.

James T. Kirk held up his hands, or at least the spiritual equivalent. They were now translucent and had an odd blue tinge to them. In a paradoxical way, he felt more alive than he ever had before.

He looked up just in time to see that Starfleet captain from the future. "Jean-Luc!" he yelled. "I'm not dead." He paused. "I can't be dead. I was supposed to die alone."

Just ahead, Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the late starship Enterprise, pulled a corpse out of a twisted metal framework. Kirk walked up to him and peered over his shoulder. No emotion was visible on his face as he stared into his own lifeless eyes.

Jean-Luc closed his eyes and made the sign of the cross. Merde. I'm sorry, Jim. I should have been able to defeat Soran and… A tear ran down his cheek as he gathered up Jim's body. "I will see you get a proper burial. It's the least I can do."

Jean-Luc began walking straight towards Jim, who was only mildly surprised when the captain passed right through him. The ghost shivered at the experience. "I don't like that."

"It's not so bad, once you get used to it."

Jim spun around and instantly shifted into a standard Starfleet defensive stance. After about half a second, he remembered his intangibility. "Who…are you?" he asked as he regarded at the man.

Like Jim, his body had a blue tinge to it and was translucent. Unlike Jim, who was still clad in his Starfleet uniform, he wore a simple gray shirt, white pants and a brown robe. His face was partially obscured by a hood.

Jim walked up to him. "My name is James T. Kirk, late of the starship Enterprise. I ask again: who are you?"

The man pulled down the hood, showing a weathered face and blue eyes that shone with amusement and wisdom. "I am to be your guide into what comes next. It will be confusing and perhaps a little frightening, but I can assure you it will be worth it in the end. Consider it the true 'final frontier'."

Jim turned around slowly and looked up. By now Jean-Luc was halfway up the mountain. "A friend of mine once said that I can take death, and turn it into a fighting chance." He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess my chances were all used up." He looked back at the man. "So, what force sent you here, the angels or the devils?"

A low chuckle escaped from the man's lips. "I wouldn't call all of them angels, but it is a force of the light that sent me." He walked up to Jim and, much to his surprise, placed a hand on Jim's shoulder. "You have done much good, James T. Kirk. It's now time for you to rest. Let the burden of saving the galaxy fall onto the next generation's shoulders."

For a second, he hesitated. Then a thought struck him. I'm dead. What good can come from hanging around this plane of existence when there's a new one just waiting? "All right, lead the way Mr.…" He hesitated as a look of confusion swept his face. "By the way, what's your name?"

The man laughed. "I apologize." He bowed in a slightly exaggerated manner. "I am Obi-Wan Kenobi, but you can call me Ben." Ben put his arm around Jim's shoulders as he led Jim off into the light.

"Oh, Ben?"

"Yes?"

"Call me Jim."
*****
Chapter One: Crossing the Barrier
Captain’s log: Stardate 53010.3. With the end of the Dominion Incursion, Starfleet hopes that diplomatic relations might be opened with the Romulans. We have been allowed to retrieve Ambassador Spock so he might address the Federation Council on the current state of the Romulan Empire.

Jean-Luc Picard stood at attention in transporter room three as a column of energy appeared on the transporter platform in front of him, coalescing into a humanoid form. Details quickly filled in, revealing the robed form of Ambassador Spock.

Spock stepped down from the platform and stood in front of Picard. The captain noted that Spock’s face seemed to carry a few more wrinkles since last they met. Still, the Vulcan carried himself with a quiet dignity that few could match. He walked up to Picard and held up his hand. “Peace and long life,” he said, spreading his fingers in the traditional Vulcan salute.

Picard nodded and returned the gesture. “Live long and prosper.”

Spock nodded. “It is good to see you again, Captain.”

Picard nodded, and the two walked out of the transporter room. “How is Romulus?”

Spock’s right eyebrow arched. “The populace threw its full support behind the war once the Dominion’s plans were leaked. It also led to a lot of the citizens getting involved in issues they might not have.” He let out a breath as they continued down the corridor, passing several crewmembers. “The war has possibly done more good for the Romulans than bad. Illogical, but true.”

Picard nodded. “War is the least logical course of action, but sometimes the most necessary.” They entered a turbolift. “Deck eleven,” Picard said.

Picard and Spock continued talking while the car traversed the tunnels connecting the various parts of the ship. “We have Ambassador Worf with us. Perhaps you two can-” Before Picard could continue, the turbo lift shuddered around them. Both men also felt their vision dim, as if the lights inside the car shorted out for a moment. Picard tapped his combadge. “Bridge, what just happened?”
*****
Commander William Riker looked up from the science station in the Enterprise‘s bridge. “We’re not sure, Captain. The ship dropped out of warp, and then everyone’s vision went fuzzy for a moment. Frankly, I’m not sure what happened.” He glanced up at the ops station, currently occupied by the ship’s second officer Lieutenant Commander Data.

Data glanced up from various readoutsand shrugged. “I have no idea what is going on, sir.”

Riker let out a groan and looked up at the large main viewscreen mounted at the front of the bridge. “Helm, check the position of the stars against our maps. Let’s see where we are.”

The main viewscreen flickered from a shot of space to a three-dimensional picture of local space on one side. Various maps of star clusters and sectors flashed on the other as the computer tried to match up where they were. The computer spoke after a full minute. “Unable to identify location.”

Data turned back to Riker and smiled. “Well, we are explorers. It appears we can now do quite a bit of exploring.”

Riker scowled and turned back to the science station. “Get to work on finding out what happened.”

Data nodded and sat back down. “Aye, sir.”

The aft turbolift door opened, allowing Picard and Spock to enter. “Report,” Picard ordered.

Riker looked up and over. “We don’t have any real answers, Captain. One moment we were going along at warp seven, and the next our visions dim and our sensors go offline.”

Spock’s right eyebrow arched. “I am afraid, Commander Riker, that that is often the case.” He walked over to the station and leaned forward. His hands darted over the controls and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The first officer shrank back a bit and a bit of sweat broke out on his forehead at being in proximity of such a legend. It quickly passed as the half-Vulcan’s hands continued to fly over the console, checking readings and sensor logs.

He straightened up and looked over to the ops station. “Mister Data, I am going to perform a quantum analysis. Would you assist me?”

The pale-skinned android cocked his cranium to the side and scratched his head. “I would be happy to, but what would be the point?”

A new voice spoke up before Spock could answer. “Captain, we have an unidentified ship entering sensor range.”

Picard turned to the source of the voice, an Andorian tactical officer by the name of Tirsek. “Can you identify it?”

Tirsek snarled and shook her head, her shaggy white hair swishing about. “I can’t, sir. It doesn’t match any known configuration in our database.” She looked up and let out a sigh. “Sorry, sir.”

Picard waved her off and walked over to his chair. He sat down and looked up at the main viewscreen. “Let’s put this new arrival onscreen.” The image abruptly changed from space to a small but growing disk. “Magnify.”

The disk grew into a larger one and details began showing. Two triangular prongs stuck out of the forward section and a large sensor dish jutted from the dorsal surface. Picard’s trained eyes also picked out an obvious weapons emplacement at the top.

Tirsek spoke up. “Sir, we are being hailed Audio only.”

The captain nodded. “Put it through.”

A male’s voice came through. “Ah, this is Han Solo of the Millennium Falcon. Are you people lost?”

Picard’s eyebrow arched in a most Vulcan-like fashion. “Ah…I believe so. I’m Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation starship Enterprise. Can you please tell us our location?”

A short laugh came over. “Heh, that’s a good one.” There was a short pause before, “Wait, you really don’t know?”

The turbolift doors opened again, allowing Ambassador Worf to exit. He wore black pants, a tunic and a robe laden with medals. Worf walked over to Picard’s chair and looked over at the viewer. “I apologize for the delay, Captain. I was doing my calisthenics when…it happened.”

Picard nodded in understanding, then looked back to the viewscreen as he addressed Han Solo again. “I’m afraid not, Captain Solo. It appears we’ve accidentally crossed a large expanse of space in little time, throwing us into uncharted space. We’d appreciate any help.”

On the Falcon, Han’s brown eyes looked over the strange ship. He had to admit, it had some fine lines to it. “It looks like she’s moving, even while standing still,” he muttered.

Next to him, Chewie nodded. [I would give anything to look at that thing’s engines,] the Wookiee growled.

Han leaned forward and toggled the com switch. “Captain, you’re near the Yavin System. My brother runs the Jedi Academy on the fourth moon of the gas giant. If you’d like, I can escort you there.”

Chewie looked over at Han, but he waved him off. “Don’t worry, pal. I’ve got a good feeling about this.”
*****
Picard thought for a moment before speaking. “We’d be happy to take you up on your offer, Captain Solo. Picard out.”

Tirsek closed the channel before speaking. “Captain, I think I know where this Solo fellow is talking about. There’s a star system about two light years out, and sensors not only indicate a gas giant but one with several moons.”

Picard nodded and organized his thoughts before speaking. “Mister Data, continue the quantum scan and coordinate with Ambassador Spock. I want a report by the time we hit this Yavin System.” He stood up and turned to Worf. “Ambassador, we may need you once we get there.”

Worf drew himself to his full height, his dark eyes piercing. “I am at your disposal, Captain.”

The captain nodded and patted him on the arm. “Thank you.” He turned to helm and spoke. “Set course for the Yavin System, warp seven.”

The Enterprise’s bow rose and the impulse engines fired, sending the Sovereign-class battle cruiser forward and past the Millennium Falcon. The comparatively tiny CEC YT-1300 freighter pirouetted on its axis and followed behind. The twin nacelles of the Enterprise flashed, creating a warp field and sending the ship hurtling forward at six-hundred fifty-six times the speed of light. The Falcon followed and, with a flash of light, entered hyperspace.

Please read and review. the next post will be on the 13th. Up!

Awesome story so far! Very nice ending for Captain Kirk there. A whole lot better than him just dying like he did in Generations. It's great to see that Spock is onboard the Enterprise again(it's been like what...80 years since his last visit to an Enterprise). I can definitely see why Han Solo finds the looks of the Enterprise E fascinating. It looks a lot better than any Star Wars ship in the movies after all. Looking forward to more!

The preceding is what Star Trek/Star Wars versus debates invariably degenerate into.

*has horrible flashbacks to the pro/anti Mara threads*

*shudders*

No! Please! By all means... dignity, respect, compassion... all that jazz. PMs, please!


*Jaded_Girl grabs her old tricorder and homemade medical bag and eagerly begins*



He was dead. Of that much, he was certain.

*snort* You're dead, Jim! laugh


And SUCH language, Jean-Luc! ^_~



For a second, he hesitated. Then a thought struck him. I'm dead. What good can come from hanging around this plane of existence when there's a new one just waiting?

Oh, excellent! That is 100% Kirk thinking! Awesome, Striker! *Jaded_Girl also tries to hug Ben, who is cute as ever, but unfortunately goes right through him.*



Various maps of star clusters and sectors flashed on the other as the computer tried to match up where they were. The computer spoke after a full minute. “Unable to identify location.”

No worries. I'm sure it will me more... interesting that the Delta Quadrant... MUA HA HAAAA! devil



The image abruptly changed from space to a small but growing disk. “Magnify.”

*is giddy with anticipation* Boy, it's a good thing they didn't materialize in Imperial space! *sage nod*



A short laugh came over. “Heh, that’s a good one.” There was a short pause before, “Wait, you really don’t know?”

You know, the universe would be a sad, sad place without Han Solo. And that is a fact.

YAVIN!!!! dancing


Up!!!

Sweet!

I love both ST and SW, so combining them just tickles my fancy.

You've got a great start, keep it coming. And add me to the PM list, please?

Thanks for the PM Striker. I've read the previous version of this story along while ago and I got to say that,as before, I find the first chapter to be strong. I liked how you used the end of the Generations movie to introduce the SW elements into the story. My only grip is that there's a mistake, where Han says "My brother runs a school there." I Think you ment to say "brother in law", unless you're going for something abit creapier than before wink . Keep up the good work.

Dang...

SSM12-Thanks. I wanted to grab people and show that this isn't an ordinary ST/SW crossover.

Daena-Thanks. It's a favorite scene of mine too. LOL, stuff's gonna get brought.

baf-Actually, this is the Generations ending, with Ben coming in for the ghostly save. And yeah, I like the E-E too.

Juliet-LOL, thanks. I hope to improve.

Jaded_Girl-That's actually kinda tame compared to some I've seen. I've omitted the F-bombs and some of the more... immature bits. plain Yeah, Jim's an explorer at heart. LOL, I didn't realize 'merde' was that bad. A lot more interesting, yes. And it would be sad, yes. Han rocks. happy

darth_treyvah-Aye, aye! *Continues*

LadyKethry-Thanks. I like them both, too. I just wanna write a crossover that doesn't really bash either side.

Stooky-Thanks. happy This version will have better grammar, trust me. wink And for Han, blood or no blood, I think he sees Luke as a brother. His friends are his family, his family friends.

Dantana-Thanks. happy You are 'signed up'. wink

Ubersue-Hopefully it will be fun. happy Added.

Ponytricks-LOl, thanks. But like I told Jaded_Girl, that was a tame version of the usual stuff I've seen. And okay. happy

*****
Captain’s log: Stardate 53015.7. The Enterprise is now in orbit around the fourth moon of a gas giant. Hopefully we might be able to contact someone in authority there. Meanwhile, Commander Data and Ambassador Spock have a theory on what has happened to us.
*****
Observation lounge
Lieutenant Commander Data stood at the head of the table with a weird smile on his face. Picard, Riker, Worf, Spock, Tirsek, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Councilor Deanna Troi all sat at the conference table and waited for Data to begin. “I believe Ambassador Spock and I have figured out what has happened. We have crossed over into an alternate reality through a tear in the space/time continuum. Our warp engines use continuum distortion propulsion, so the Enterprise was able to punch through fairly easily.”

Worf massaged his forehead and sank down into his chair. “Not again…” he muttered.

Data looked up and over at the ambassador. “I am afraid so, Ambassador. Fortunately, we should not be jumping realities.”

Worf let out a breath. “For that, I am eternally grateful.” A sudden thought crossed his mind. “Wait, what are we doing here? Shouldn’t we head back before the hole closes?” he asked, sitting up.

Spock turned and looked over at the agitated Klingon. “The rift sealed immediately after we crossed over, Ambassador. It is entirely logical to assume that our warp engines will be more than sufficient to reopen it.”

Data nodded in agreement and Worf shrugged, not entirely convinced but willing to wait.

Picard looked about. “I also think this is an unprecedented opportunity for exploration. Think about it-we’re in another universe. And we have a fairly reliable means of getting back to Federation space.” He slammed his hands on the table and pushed up into a vertical position. “Commander Tirsek, contact this…Jedi Academy and see if they’d allow us to beam a small landing party down.”

Tirsek nodded. “Yes, sir.” She stood up and made a beeline for the door.

Riker called out before the doors opened and she exited. “And Tirsek, see if you can find out what a ’Jedi’ is.”

Tirsek paused and nodded once before leaving the conference room, her antennae twitching.
*****
Luke Skywalker stood out on the landing field, blue eyes cast up at the sky. The gas giant of Yavin Prime dominated the sky, but if he enhanced his eyesight, he could just make out a small sliver of silver against the predominantly blue sky. Han and Chewie stood by him as well as a student of his, Tenel Ka Djo.

Tenel Ka looked up slightly at Luke, her cool-gray eyes betraying no emotion. “Master, may I ask why I am here?”

Luke kept his eyes on the ship but spoke to Tenel Ka. “You’re a princess, Tenel Ka, and you’ve probably got more training in this sort of thing than most of us.”

Tenel Ka blanched. “But Master, I have rejected most of the teachings of my grandmother and the royal court!”

The Jedi Master thought about the machinations and, in some cases, literally cutthroat politics of the Hapan court. “Then you are an even better choice than I thought.” He turned to Han. “So, when are they coming down?”

Han shrugged and checked his wrist chrono. “Their captain said they’d be coming down in about five minutes.” He looked to Chewie. “You got a comlink?”

The large Wookiee unclipped a small communicator from his baldric and handed it over to his honor brother. [Here you are.].

Han half-smiled before holding it up to his mouth and thumbed it on. “Enterprise, this is Han Solo. You planning on joining the welcome party anytime soon?”
*****
On the Enterprise, Picard couldn’t help but smile. “We’ll be down shortly, Captain Solo.” He turned to his handpicked landing party of Ambassadors Spock, Worf and Commander Data as they stood in transporter room three. Riker had protested, but the Captain felt that it was more appropriate for him to go down.

The quartet stepped up onto the raised platform and oriented themselves. “Coordinates are locked in, sir,” the transporter operator said from behind a console.

Picard nodded. “Energize.” His vision clouded over as his body was disassembled on the quantum level, transmitted down and reassembled. When Picard’s vision cleared, he saw three humans and one large humanoid standing at the base of an ancient temple, similar to ancient Mayan structures on Earth.

“How the hell did you do that?” Han asked, his mouth open in shock.

Spock stepped forward and spread his fingers out in the Vulcan salute. “I apologize for our abrupt appearance. My name is-”

He was interrupted by Luke, who stepped forward. “Ambassador Spock, right?” He held up his right hand and spread out his fingers down the middle in an imitation of Spock’s gesture. “I am Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. I welcome you to Yavin IV.”

Spock’s eyebrow arched. “Fascinating.” He then motioned to Picard, Data and Worf. “This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lieutenant Commander Data and Ambassador Worf. We are representatives of the United Federation of Planets.”

Luke nodded and motioned to Han and Chewie. “You already know Han and Chewie.”

Han half-smiled and waved while Chewie bared his fangs and roared a greeting. [Welcome!] His brown eyes fell on Worf and a low rumble came from his throat.

The Klingon bared his own fangs and let a return growl emanate forth from his throat.

Luke motioned to the fourth member of his welcoming committee. “And this is Tenel Ka, princess and heir to the Hapes Consortium.”

Tenel Ka stepped forward, her flame-red hair trailing behind. “I greet you.”

Worf glanced at her, clad in lizard-skin armor and with a missing left forearm She is a warrior born.

Spock looked into Luke’s blue eyes, while Luke lightly probed Spock through the Force. His mental discipline is immense.

Spock’s green eyes focused on Luke. “Master Skywalker, we have determined that the Enterprise has crossed into another universe.”

Chewie’s mouth dropped at that. [Really? How powerful are those engines of yours?] he asked, rubbing his chin.

Han shrugged. “Probably not as powerful as the Falcon’s.”

Spock’s jaw worked for a bit before turning back to Luke. “Among my species, there is a technique known as the Vulcan mind meld. It can allow the transfer of a great deal of information over a short period of time. Would that be acceptable?”

Luke nodded. “It might be the best way. Go ahead, Ambassador.”

The Vulcan raised his right hand, spread his fingers out and placed his hand on Luke’s face. “My mind to your mind, your thoughts to my thoughts…”

Tenel Ka gasped as she felt both Luke and Spock’s mind intermingling and merging.

Luke shuddered. “The needs of the many…”

“Outweigh the needs…“ Spock finished. He blinked. “The Force?”

Luke struggled to articulate. “The Jedi…the Sith…balance must be kept…Sarek?”

Spock nodded, and his glassy eyes focused. “And Anakin…” Words, images and feeling crossed the mental bridge between the two men until…

Spock broke off the link. He shook his head while Data stepped forward. “Are you all right, Ambassador?”

Spock turned and let the faintest ghost of a smile cross his lips. “I am…fine, Commander.” He straightened his robes and looked over. “It was obviously the will of the Force that we arrive here.”

Luke shook his head, sending his short blond hair swishing about. “No, Spock. It was only logical the tear in the space/time continuum happen so near a gravity well”

Worf looked up at Chewie. “Did he talk like that before the mind meld?”

The big Wookiee shrugged. [I’m not sure what to make of it either.]

Luke motioned to the Jedi Temple. “I’ll contact Leia. I’m sure she’ll want to meet you and possibly open up negotiations.”

Spock turned his head around to Picard. “Luke’s sister is Chief of State for the New Republic.”

Picard sidled up to Spock and leaned close. “Are you all right?”

Spock shook his head and waved him off. “Yes, Captain. The mind meld was unusually intense due to Master Skywalker’s powers. I found it quite…fascinating.”

Han patted Luke on the shoulder. “You okay?”

Luke’s blue eyes focused on his brother-in-law. “Yeah. It was just…strange.”

The former smuggler nodded, although Luke could still feel concern radiating off his best friend. “Well, don’t get all logical on me, okay? I don’t want you sounding like an astromech, okay?”

A smile tugged at the corner of Luke’s mouth, but he kept a serious expression in the end.

Picard tapped his combadge. “Enterprise, we have made successful first contact.”

Riker‘s voice came over the embedded speaker grille, relief evident in his voice.“Well, that’s good.” He paused for a moment. “When can we expect your return?”

Picard paused for a moment and turned to the quartet. “One moment, Number One.” The good captain cleared his throat, attracting Han, Chewie, Tenel Ka and Luke. “Would any of you like a tour of the ship?”

Chewie let out a roar and ran over to Picard. [Yes, Captain! I do wish for a tour!] he bellowed, jumping up and down like a cub.

Tenel Ka let a ghost of a smile cross her lips. “Ah, aha. I also wish to take a tour of the ship.”

Han and Luke exchanged a glance. “We gonna let them have all the fun?”

A big smile crossed Luke’s mouth. “It might be…neat.”

All four walked over to the away team’s position and Picard spoke again. “Bridge, we will be having four guests.”

Han stood next to Data, brown eyes looking up at the sky. “Will this hurt?”

Data patted him on the shoulder. “I assure you, Captain, you will not feel a thing.”

Han turned to him and nodded, but before he could say anything, a silvery cloud descended over his eyes. When it lifted a half-second later, Han found himself standing in a room on an elevated pedestal.

Worf, Spock, Picard and Data calmly stepped off, Picard turning back to the transporter platform. “That was our transporter. It converts matter to-” Picard stopped talking when he noticed none of the new arrivals moving.

Luke waved his hand about and flexed it. “That was…incredible.”

Han’s hands were checking his midsection and he was mumbling. “Kidneys… check. Lungs…” He took in a deep lungful of air, “check.” He blinked and focused on Data. “I can see.” His shoulders sagged in relief. “I’m all here!” He stepped down and walked over to the transporter chief. “Hey, kid. How can I get one of these for my ship?”

Picard raised his hand, palm out. “Ah, Captain Solo? What about the tour?”

Han half-turned and waved him off. “Oh, I’ll catch up.”

Picard and Luke exchanged a glance, and Luke spoke up. “Han, Chewie might need a translator, and what about the Enterprise’s engines?”

Han rolled his eyes and stood back up. “I’m coming, kid.” Before he left, the former smuggler turned to the transporter chief. “I’ll be back, though.”

“What?”

“You heard me, Jim. The Enterprise is in my reality. It crashed through…something.”

James T. Kirk let out a metaphorical sigh and grabbed Obi-Wan Kenobi by his ethereal shoulders, spinning the Jedi Master around. “They crossed into your dimension? Is that good?”

Ben shrugged. “See for yourself.” He waved his hand and a small window into the world of the living appeared, the mists of the Force rolling back to reveal one of the many dimensions in the multiverse.

Jim’s jaw dropped as he watched the Enterprise fly through the tear in space and meet up with the Falcon. “Not the best-maintained ship, is it?” he quipped.

Ben shot him a dirty look. “I think we know who’s responsible.”

Jim nodded. Both spirits turned and shouted, “Q!”

On cue, a flash of light heralded the arrival of the sometimes malevolent godlike being. “And what do you two pieces of consciousness want?” Q asked.

Jim motioned to the window. “Care explaining?”

Q shrugged. “Sorry, boys, but I’ve got an alibi this time.”

Ben’s mustache twitched. “Fight with the missus?”

The godling scowled. “Stop reading my mind! You’re lucky I don’t-”

“-Smite us or something. We know!” the former starship captain interrupted.

The trickster waved Jim off. “Oh, why don’t you go talk another malfunctioning computer or pretender god into suicide?”

Jim rubbed his chin in thought. “Got a minute, Q?”

Please read and review. The next post will be on the 20th. Up!

Heehee! Yep, that's Han alright. And I love how Worf and Chewie have an instant rapport.

More soon, I hope!

Good stuff. I assume this is happening around the YJK era right? I hope there's more soon, and please put me back on the PM list. I'm waiting to see how this one turns out. happy
