This would threaten catastrophe on two fronts; without guidance, the people who are becoming force sensitive in this galaxy are all turning to the dark side. Troi, being one of the first infected and already having PSI powers, is one of the most powerful of these folk. The spread of midichlorians will also make our people vulnerable to the Empire's own force users. The Empire's next venture through the portal will spell the doom for the Federation...

Along comes Voyager, and the EMH finds a way to use Seven's nanoprobes to wipe out midichlorians. Starfleet has come to believe that this midichlorian 'infection' is responsible for the evilness of the Empire, based on how our own recent converts are behaving. Janeway is ordered to take Voyager - essentially invulnerable now with its future technology - through to spread the nanoprobes in the wars galaxy, wiping out the force on both sides of the Portal once and for all.

Troi, in some sort of confrontation with Picard, manages to overcome the dark side. Picard realises that the force is not inherently evil, and is a normal part of life in the Wars galaxy, but Starfleet will not listen. Against orders he sets out to stop Janeway. She doesn't want to listen either, and there is a three sided battle - Picard trying to stop Janeway, Janeway trying to stop the force, and the Empire trying to stop both of them. This was originally planned to culminate at the battle around Endor in Return of the Jedi. The final defeat of the Empire by the Rebels - and of the Emperor by Luke - would convince Janeway that the force is indeed not evil, and at the end of the story peaceful relations would be established between the new Republic and the Federation. A nice happy ending in the classic "enemies become friends" Trek style.

Not so, Paul Cassidy (I don't remember his handle) wrote perhaps the only good STvsSW story. At least I remember it being the only good one, it's been almost two years since I read it and since he updated it.

[Again this neutrino thing. I a least now know why he had created it. That way he could always let his Feds detect Imperial ships before they could leave hyperspace. But other than that, his creation defies any canon.]

Every story has a good 'premise' it is the execution that is horribly wrong.

Ahh, it isn't the worst I have read, but it certainly isn't the best either.

Jacking off in the antechamber? The story was written by a total idiot. What do you think he was going to do, make things difficult for the heroes? God forbid he put any sort of realism into the story at all, you know.

Hmm... reading through it (as I said I would, at some point or another) and it's a little off tech-wise. Not by much, I assure you, it's just not considering some of the little things. Otherwise, it's fine so far.

EDIT: Such as: There are no other ships than ISDs, the windows are just regular old plexiglass (no tint! NO TINT!) and shooting off the bridge disables an ISD.

I have no idea where you got Federation>=Empire out of the information given.

It's one thing to be a poor writer, it's another to be dishonest and biased, but it's an entirely different kettle of fish to actually make back handed comments durring a naration. Yes, Portal is possibly one of teh worst SW vs ST fanfics ever, but at least Kennedy tries to maintain the illusion of objectivity, even if he is annoyingly, starkly dishonest in other ways.
