A reboot of this RP

The idea is for a sci-fi crossover set in the Star Trek universe, in which we play the main crew of various franchises that came through. Your enemies may also come through, though, so beware.

I will be playing a Star Gate SG-1 crew (with a Tok'ra along as an adviser), though if someone else wants to play Star Gate characters, that's fine too.

Here's my basic backstory.




Star Gate Universe:

In an attempt to flee Morgan Lafeye, Adria goes through the Supergate. While inside the wormhole she searches for an escape and finds a similar wormhole in another universe. At the place where the wormholes are closest she jumps between the two universes.

LaFeye attempts to follow her, but is prevented from doing so by the other ascended beings, as Adria is no longer a threat when she is in another universe. Believing that they must prevent her from gathering her power in another universe, LaFeye goes to Earth and informs them of Adria's escape. Because Earth possesses the technology to travel to other universes, she asks them to incorporate the technology into the Odyssey while they repair it.

Believing Adria to still be a threat, they do and, when the Odyssey is finished being repaired two months later, LaFeye returns one more time to add the coordinates of the new universe to the Inter-universal drive. SG-1 sets out once again, this time to the location given to them by LaFeye, in order to bring Adria back.

Star Trek Universe:

Adria arrives in the other wormhole, only to find that it is inhabited. The natives sense her desire to conquer the galaxy and banishes her, sending her down to Bajor as they once did with the Pah wraiths. A local by the name of Kel Tomil sees her retake humanoid form, something she did to hide from LaFeye, and believes her to be one of the prophets. She plays along, pretending to be a guide sent by them to steer them onto the correct path, the path of Origin, though with Bajoran beliefs woven in. After Kel Tomil leads others to "The True Path", she re-ascends long enough to make him her Doci and several of her followers Priors.

Two months later, over twenty percent of the population of Bajor follows Origin, having seen the Miracles of the Priors, healing the sick, even those that Star Fleet medicine couldn't help, and believing their promises of Ascension.

The Odyssey appears near DS9, and is hailed.




The wormhole may allow people from other universes to come through, or they may find other ways through. The Star Trek characters will be NPCs that any one can control unless someone wants to claim them and play as Star Trek characters.

I'm interested-ish.

I'll use different characters. No ST characters from the future. I don't think that really worked well.

Currently thinking characters from or inspired by the following:
Andromeda
Transformers (NOT BAYformers)
Thundercats
He-Man/She-Ra

The larger transformers would need to stay it a docking bay if they came to the station, but they could stay on Bajor. Thundercats and Heman are magic heavy, but they could work fine. Doesn't Thundercats have some advanced tech in it too?

Andromeda was created by Gene Rodenberry too, and could fit in well with Star Trek. Just imagining Tyr in a fight with some Klingons. I wonder how he'd feel about replicated food, since he prefers organic? Would he be one of those "real food is more nutritious" people or would he not care as long as it was a balanced meal?

Andromeda:
I wouldn't do Tyr. I liked him at first but he got to megalomania for my tastes.
I was thinking Dylan, Rommie, and possibly the Andromeda Ascendant itself. I was also considering them to be taken before they even met Tyr, Beka, etc.

Transformers:
I was thinking an original character that is a spaceship that could use a tiny robot (human size) for it's avatar on the station. The tiny robot of course was not built for such a purpose but retrofitted for that or might use a generic android from the Andromeda with Rommie's help.

Thundercats:
At least the reboot season definitely had advanced tech but it wasn't really used much except for their tank thing.
Not sure if original or canon chars.

He-Man/She-Ra:
Had advanced tech that was somehow never scene. They were able to convert humans into cyborgs.
Not sure if original or canon chars.

Andromeda: So, maybe they fell into the black hole in the first episode and came through into a new universe? If you wanted to keep the others (Harper, Trance, Beka, and even Rev Bem were good characters) you could just say Tyr was away when they jumped (a bad jump made them time travel, so hoping between universes isn't out of the question). If you went with the black hole thing, Rommie wouldn't have a body, but they could build her one.

Rommie android didn't exist until post blackhole rescue? I don't remember that.

I'll have to reconsider when the ship and/or characters get pulled through then.

Initially they would have their normal Milano but Star-Lord crashes it. Then comes along a transformer and he being the human loving Autobot decides to soothe Star-Lord's soul by transforming into it.

This will be the first human loving Transformer I ever played.

@mattmanganonStar Wars would probably be a bit more interesting, as it introduces a whole new universe for them to interact with, with new situations and species they have to deal with.

Another Star Trek ship wouldn't really be that unusual to the crew of DS9, though it could work if, say, a crew from the mirror universe came through, a race from the Delta quadrant, or maybe ancient people from their universe (say a Vulcan ship from just after First Contact). The last wouldn't really have anything to offer in terms of military, though.

@mattmanganonForgot to mention that because you aren't reusing your characters from the last version of this, I added "Outlaw Star" to the helper list, in case anyone needs help thinking of a universe to use.

@mattmanganonSince I'm just rebooting it, I'll reuse the opening post.

I'll start it now, and hope that more people join later. Three people in an RP is doable, but a few more would be better.

Oops. I got confused. @Burning Kitty can you work on a CS? You can go ahead and start posting, since we are familiar with your idea. The CS is just for the details.
