Star Trek Crossovers: You make the call!

I discovered by pure chance that I once was mad enough to create this thread about a Star Trek / Discworld cross-over... there were some nice ideas there. :D

Apart from that, I think a X-Files or SG crossover with Trek is quite possible. Just use an Earth-like planet (or even one of those "identically evolved planet" TOS loved so much), with either aliens conspiring with the government or an active Iconian gateway on it, and you have the basic setting alright. X-Files Greys could be either a new race, or an existing one tweaked as needed. As for SG, there are enough ancient and powerful civilizations in Trek to supply enough Ancients, Ascended and Oris counterparts.

IIRC, the poster known as ghosty (who I haven't seen around for some time) once devised a scenario which was a good SG/DS9 cross-over, with the Trill Symbionts being close to the Go'Auld. A very good read, I'll try to dig the archives on the forum to see if I can find them.

And I mused once on the possibilites of a Cyberpunk / Matrix planet being the premise of the Borg... (come to think of it, a Matrix / Trek cross-over could be quite fun too... especially if Trek's advanced computer science allows them to hack the Matrix much more efficiently to do even more incredible stuff, and that's not even counting Data interfacing with the Matrix :p).

Didn't Voyager do one of those?
It was during the period where I had stopped watching, but I remember hearing about a Voyager episode that sounded interesting (for a change) with 2 characters who were clearly based upon Mulder and Scully.
As I recall the description, the show centered on 2 investigators (on an alien world of 20th century tech) looking into some strange events that the Mulder-clone thought was alien contact. Meanwhile, the Voyager crew was scrambling around trying to remove or destroy any evidence of their visit. :)
Starfleet as the Greys, basicly. Sounded cool.

I'm not sure about VOY, but I know Babylon 5:Crusade did an episode like that; a repressive alien world was using us as a smokescreen to cover up how crappy things were for them. (The best part was when they pulled out pics of a neigboring planet, taken from a lander, and they got images of Mt. Rushmore!, like the "Face on Mars").

There even was a "smoking-man" alien! And the Mulder-Scully characters dressed like their X-Files counterparts, and even acted alot like them.

It was fun!

Resurrecting this old thread while I'm bored at work...

I came to realise that Star Trek has a lot of built-in crossover opportunities, so that it would be quite possible to create crossovers while keeping a full Trek setting.

For instance, the Traveller's people could very well be akin to the Time Lords in Doctor Who (I once thought that Wesley would be like a Doctor Who companion with the Traveller - I espect most fans would like to see him as Adric, of course :D).

The Iconian Gateways are very much like the Stargates, as I must have said earlier (I think someone even poster on the adventure seeds thread a suggestion on those lines). The parasites from Conspiracy make very adequate Go'aulds (while Q can be the Ascended).

Evil star empires are not hard to find in Trek; Jedis are a bit harder to match, but I often wondered if Ocampas could not do the trick (there is one early Voyager episode where Kes senses the death of everyone on a planet while they are some light years away). They had considerable mental powers anyway.

The Hirogen have a mentality very close to the one of the Predators, it seems to me. They only lack the cloacking ability, but this can be changed with an encounter with the Jem'Hadar (the aliens in the DS9 episode Tosk are also good candidates, and their prey also had a cloacking ability).

Oh, and someone alreayd mentioned Flint as a good candidate for a Highlander-like immortal.

Did anyone saw other such built-in crossovers in Trek ? (apart of course from considering that, given how vast the Trekverse is, we can assume that anything we want can be found in it).

The Travellers are too nice and uplifting. The real Time Lords of Trek are the El-Aurians: long-lived, full of temporal sensing, mischevious (or evil) when they want to be, can hang out in crowds ranging from primitive humanoids to species so powerful they only need one letter of the alphabet ever–And their homeworld was destroyed by the Daleks... er, Borg.

Don't forget Apollo's species...

The Romulan Underground: when reconnecting with their Vulcan heritage, they are also rediscovering the psionic potential buried within them. The J'dai Kolinahru use their newfound abilities to help the rebels escape the clutches of the evil Star Empire, while fighting against the elite Tal Shiar Mind War operatives–including cybernetically-enhanced Reman "dark warriors."

Hirogen who pursue their prey across the galaxy may encounter (and acquire) an number of interesting technological items, including personal cloaks, enhanced sensor vision, and personal self-destruct packages to ensure that they themselves are not taken over by the infectious warrior-form of the Bluegill Parasites.

The Tosk-Hunters could make an appearance as elite assassins and bounty-hunters of the Dominion.

Heeeeere we are! Born to be kings! We're the sitters-in-a-corner-and-slowly-dyingers-from-lack-of-whatever-kept-us-alive-on-earth of the uuuuniverrrse...

Using Highlander 2 and ditching the rest of it would probably be a good idea, in this case. Earth as dumping ground for a bunch of super-powered aliens–maybe even a bunch of Super-Listeners from early in that planet's history.

Indiana Jones XVI and the Hunters of Orion

I have the X-Men/Star Trek crossovers from Marvel. They were interesting.

Would an Aliens/Star Trek crossover work? Would the Aliens be much of a threat to Starfleet officers armed w/ phasers?

How about Star Trek/D&D crossover RPG session? Sure primitives armed w/ swords & lances are no problem, but what about that 20th level Wizard?

They certainly looked... "interesting."

They'd probably be too Borg-like to warrant inclusion, unless you played up the connection (a mutant form of Borg or something).

It was called "Shore Leave."

I just skimmed the posts admitedly, but I'm shocked there hasn't been any more mention of Trek / new Battlestar crossovers.

I'm only thru season II of New Battlestar but I can totally imagine what would happen if the Galactica came out of its final FTL jump to the legendary Earth... and found it orbited by Satrfleet bases. They'd flip, thinking it was Cylons, and there'd be an awesome fight! The Galactica'd loose but...

I'm not sure why the BSG crew would automatically assume Starfleet vessels were Cylon ships. I think they would analyze their sensors & communications first to find out what was going on.

I also doubt there would be a battle. I think Starfleet would make every attempt to communicate w/ the Galactica & establish a dialogue.

However, I do think that in this scenario the Cylons would eventually follow the ragtag fleet & then there would be a battle b/t Cylon basestars & Starfleet vessels.

It would probably end up all being some sort of weird Baltar-dream anyway.

Cybermen meet the Borg:

Locutus: 'Resistance is useless. You will be assimilated!'
CyberLeader: 'No! You will be Like us!'
Locutus: '...no. You will be assimilated.'
Cyberleader: 'No! YOU will.'
Locutus: 'No! You will!'
Cyberleader: 'We were here first!'
Locutus: '... Damn!'

There was a fanfic a few years back (there have probably been many) featuring the 4th Doc (Tom Baker) and the Next Gen Crew. It wasn't terrible, as I recall. I love the idea of a second Doctor (Pat Troughton) and TOS crossover though. 60's-tastic!

Not at all. Just say that Gallifrey is the mysterious planet that sponsored Gary Seven. The one they can't find. It's true HE doesn't use a capsule to travel across space, but THEY might.

You know, that almost would work: Gary Seven's bosses seem to know what's going to happen or what's best for humanity. Maybe it's because they've seen the whole timeline and are making tiny corrective edits.

Someone like the Doctor could be a part of the plan, a fly in the ointment or maybe in the end the architect of the whole thing!

And as to the BSG crossover...I started a thread awhile back about what Galactica will find when it reaches Earth....and a few people said Trek-Earth!!
