Star Crossed: Difference between revisions

 

{{spoiler|Darth Nemesis is eventually revealed to be a fallen Luke Skywalker, who instead of jumping as in the canon timeline, joined Darth Vader at Bespin.}} The Imperial fleet sets out to find a way back to their galaxy, securing their position and gathering information by attacking the Romulans and the Federation: or at least, it starts that way; when they discover that they can't get home, they conquer for conquest's sake. Meanwhile, [[The Captain|Captain]] [[The Kirk|James T. Kirk]] (largely [[The Hero]]) and his crew find themselves in the 24th century as well, and end up rallying the Federation and its allies against [[The Empire|the Galactic Empire]]. In the background, the nigh-omnipotent Q plays a game of chess with a mysterious silver-eyed adversary, using pieces that represent the various forces involved. All of this takes place against the backdrop of an impending universal apocalypse, brought on by the Federation's abuse of time travel.

* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: For a certain value of "goodness". When the hulking, black-armoured cyborg Darth Vader appears, the Romulan admiral T'Vor thinks that Vader is just a thug, not a proper Sith Lord like the young, handsome Darth Nemesis. Given that Sith Lord means [[Evil Overlord]] and that Vader fits that trope much better than Nemesis does, T'Vor's assessment is unintentionally funny.

* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Emperor Palpatine and {{spoiler|Gary Mitchell}}. Incredibly, given Palpatine's status as [[Evil Overlord]] of an entire galaxy, the latter is the more powerful of the two.
