The Enterprise came out of the wormhole damaged, but with no major hull breaches. "Report." Said Kirk.

"Shields are down, but Commander Scott is prioritizing their repair." Spock responded, seeing the damage reports that were already coming in. "Minor hull breaches on decks 6 and seven, no casualties."

Kirk nodded. "Sulu, where are we?" he asked.

"Unknown, sir." he responded. "This region isn't in our charts."

"Sir," said Uhura, "We are receiving a distress signal from a vessel 150 kilometers from our current location. There's also a transmission from the other ship. The UT is having trouble with some of the languages they are transmitting it in, but I believe it says that the vessel they just released was destroyed, and that there were no survivors."

"They're not very good liars." responded Dr. McCoy. "Maybe we should beam over and see if there's anyone left alive over there in case they're lying about that too."

"No lifesigns," said Chekov, "but the ship is releasing a lot of ionizing radiation, so our sensors might not detect them."

"Right," responded Kirk. "McCoy, Spock, Uhura, You're with me." he pointed to two guards on the bridge. "Johnson, Markov, you too. Chekov, you have the bridge. At the very least, that ship should have star charts of this region."

After beaming over to the ship, Kirk motioned for the crew to spread out. "McCoy, check for survivors, Spock, download whatever you can get from the computer, especially their star charts. Johnson and Markov, secure the area."

McCoy noticed something on his tricorder and ran over to a man that was laying on the ground. From his injuries, it appeared that he had been choked, then thrown into something, but according to the tricorder he was still alive and conscious. McCoy injected him with a minor stimulant to keep him conscious and Kirk ran over to talk to him. "What happened here?" Kirk asked.

"Empire attacked." he said, "Have to get the plans to the rebellion." He pulled a data disk from his jacket and pressed it into Kirk's palm. "Please, get it to General Nadine. He'll be able...to..." The man collapsed, and the tricorder recorded major fluctuations in his biosigns.

"Spock?" Kirk motioned to the man and Spock ran over. After a brief mind meld Spock was able to get the information he sought.

"Yavin." Spock said. "It's the only word he thought of, the name of the planet where I believe we'll be able to find General Nadine."

Just then the communicator chirped and Kirk opened it. "Yes?"

"Sir," said Chekov, "They have us in a tractor beam. Shields are still offline."

"Beam us back, now." Everyone gathered together where they beamed in and they returned to the Enterprise. Back on the bridge everyone returned to their stations, Spock quickly uploading the star charts into the Enterprise's computer. "Sulu, find a planet named Yavin the the alien charts and lay in a course, warp 7. Chekov, lock photon torpedoes onto their tractor emitter. Maximum yield."

"Ay, sir." he responded as the triangular ship in front of them launched its own torpedoes at the small frigate they had just left.

A few seconds later, Kirk clenched his hand into a fist. "Fire." A torpedo left the ship and there was an explosion on the larger ship.

"Tractor beam released."

"Sulu, punch it."

The Enterprise streaked into subspace as the crew of the Star Destroyer failed to lock weapons onto it fast enough. Vader was not happy.

In case you didn't realize, the idea for this RP is that people from various Sci-fi universes are coming together in the Star Wars universe. If you want to join just tell us what universe you want to bring things from and what you want to bring. Please use popular shows, including anime if you want (Uchuu Senkon Yamato?), so that we have some understanding of your ship/crew/etc. If anyone wants to claim Star Wars, that's fine too.

We'll be going through the events of the movies, but with other sci-fi shows interfering with them, which may significantly change the way things turn out.

Oh I am so down for this, but I'd have to think about which universe to choose from. It's rare I find a space opera universe I don't love.

I am also up for this. I imagine this http://dirkloechel.deviantart.com/art/Size-Comparison-Science-Fiction-Spaceships-398790051 chart might be useful for the rp. I was thinking Supreme commander, x-com or warhammer 40k as universes to draw from but I will have a think on that to see if i can come up with some other ideas

You can have Star trek if you want it. I've got other shows I would like to play as, I just thought ST would be the best match for a starting universe.

There's also Star gate, Andromeda, BSG. The matrix and even something like Xmen could be made to work, as it's sci-fi enough, though guardians of the galaxy would fit better.

I've been looking for a self-indulgent, easy-going sci-fi roleplay. Would you be averse to throwing some Mass Effect in there? It's plenty scientific enough, and hoo-boy, will Shepard have some fun with the Death Star.

I was thinking of suggesting Mass Effect and Halo in case anyone couldn't think of on.

While the SR-2 Normandy would do good in space, I think they'll really work well in ground battles. I'd love to have some Mass Effect in there.

Maybe the Mass Relay messed up and dropped them off in the Alderaan system? You'd have to steal a hyperdrive from one of the shuttles or freighters the Death Star had, but I could see them doing the "rescue the Princess" mission instead of Han, Luke, and Ben. With Sheppard's reputation for sleeping with everyone (and being a corporate sellout :-p )I can see him being like Han, only cooler.

Busted relay would do the job - a wormhole could as well. Either or, Joker will not be happy. I can't see Shepard risking their crew just to jump on board the Death Star for a tour though. Would probably be better if they ended up in the same region as the Enterprise, then at least the 2 Captains could talk stuff out. Maybe then a dashing rescue for Princess Leia could ensue.

@MiddleEarthRozeI was thinking that they got caught in a tractor beam and brought aboard, like the Falcon. Maybe they even arrived about the same time, but since Sheppard was so much better in a fight, they get to her before Han, Luke, and Chewie, and actually fight their way out. Then the two ships could join up and head to Yavin.

Meeting the Enterprise would work as well, though I don't think they would have a reason to join the rebellion at that point.

I wonder how the rebellion would respond to EDI? I could see C3PO getting confused with whether to treat her as a droid or a person.

@TheUnknowable

That could work, yeah. It would be great for Han and Luke to be all ready in their disguises, just for their cover to be blown when an angry Krogan comes bellowing towards them. Fighting through the Death Star would be better for the Normandy crew than sneaking.

And nevermind the robots, I want to see all the Captains together in one room. I think the nerd inside everyone would die just a little due to the awesomeness.

Added the claimed universes and suggestions to the OP. Also added Firefly and Saint's Row 5 to the list.

How's a marine from the DOOM universe sound? Lightly armored but quick (though not as ridiculously fast as from the video games), and battle hardened from fighting the forces of Hell.

Plus it would be easy to explain how he showed up; teleporter malfunction like from the games.

He'd probably be good as a scout or guerilla fighter.

@Grueslayercould work, though without a ship or backup you'd be stuck only playing one character and bumming a ride off of Han Solo.

Movie version (Dwayne Johnson) would have wolverine level healing, plus the strength and reflexes of a Jedi and body builder. Not sure about the game version.

@TheUnknowableHe could plausibly have a UAC team with him who could occasionally make slipgates and get around with those, or use the demon ship from The Plutonia Experiment expansion.

Added Star Ocean to the suggested list, though we may need to modify it a bit. Also added "Uchuu Senkon Yamato", as I forgot it earlier.

I may start the OOC today or tomorrow.
