Star Trek and Star Wars crossover STGOD...
The Scenario:
Trek
After the Dominion War, which was barely won (in this alternate continuity) Federation forces found themselves stretched somewhat thin and somewhat underpowered compared to their usual standards. One of their scout ships has inadvertenly encountered a wormhole leading to the Star Wars galaxy, circa 3900 BBY (before the Battle of Yavin).
Wars
Fifty years after the Jedi Civil War, the galaxy is slowly rebuilding its armies and infrastructure, on albeit limited resources given that the Peragas Fuel Station was rendered out of commission. A Republic Patrol ship encounters the previously mentioned Federation Scout Ship.
Other Rules
-The Jedi would be rare, possibly only one per poster should be allowed.
-The Sith still exist on the edges of the galaxy, and will be available for play
-There will be no time travel, acts of Q, one-shot plot devices (Genesis, Mass-Shadow Generator, etc.), or superweapons in general
-This should be a Cold War/Political Thing at first, with no overt combat between Republic and Federation forces, because it's what would realistically happen (in fact, no combat would take place without a serious fuckup anyway)... however, anyone who plays Klingons/Romulans/Borg/Sith/etc. can also act canonically (ie: Blast the living shit out of your opponents, it's how you were written).
And finally, the most important rule to remember:
Each side's technological base is pretty much identical in overall effectiveness, wheras the Republic might have better firepower, the Federation might have better propulsion or something. In short: No curbstomping the opposition with Canon Firepower, this is an STGOD, not a realistic portrayal of how events would turn out if it boiled down to violence.
Fleet numbers are probably going to be in the thousands for each of the sides... for extra fairness. Also: one change made is that Trek ships have all been refitted with Slipstream Technology due to a recent favouritism of speed over numbers. Whether this is realistic or not is up for debate, but it allows for a fairer duelling ground.
