Chapter 1 – Chance Encounter.

The new 480 million metric ton Akurian super battleship Selerin had all ten of its 300 cm triple railgun turrets trained on a target 2 million kilometers away form the ship. The target was nothing more than a simple asteroid, as the battleship was conducting gunnery trials. Once the target was acquired, thirty 300 cm railgun rounds shot out of the barrels at a speed of 37,400 kilometers per second.

Ryuukei sat in the command center of his new ship, watching as the rounds from the main battery pulverized the asteroid. The small kurokuri had yet to get used to the new vessel. The ship was over twice the size of his previous command, which had been a 200 million metric ton battleship. He also had to get used to the crew size, which again was over twice the size of his previous ship. Ryuukei looked over at his gunnery officer, Akaris Iven, whom was a female Varrius Jorkuri.

"So Akaris everything working all right."

Akaris kept her focus on her command console, while answering," well so far no bugs, all weapon systems are functioning normally, all but two rounds hit the target."

Ryuukei returned his gaze to the 3D display," well that should conclude this trial then, Hyril, take us back to the dockyards."

Hyril Akarin was about to reply however Weyai interrupted," Ryuukei, I'm picking up a vessel out their that shouldn't be out there."

One of Ryuukei's feline ears turned to Weyai, "where."

"Approximately 4.7 million kilometers away from our position," Weyai answered, "almost directly in front of us."

Ryuukei looked on the holodisplay as the unknown contact came up, he then directed to Weyai," redirect our scout drones to investigate it then."

Weyai nodded and commanded several of the ships spotting drones, which where already out in space, to reroute to the unknown. After several minutes of travel, the drones got close enough to get a detailed scan of the vessel and the passed it to the Selerin. The ships computer then generated a holoimage of the ship on the main projector, and Ryuukei and the rest of the bridge crew got a good look of what the vessel looked like. The ship was long and relatively narrow, with three large engines in the rear, however curiously enough there appeared to be no obvious maneuvering engines. The ship was also absolutely tiny by the standards of their battleship, sensors registered a mass of about twelve thousand tonnes, and an overall length of no more than 120 meters. The ship could easily fit in the hangar bay of the Selerin.

The design of the ship threw Ryuukei off. The vessel was not one of any design he recognized immediately, though that didn't mean much, the vessel could easily be a little known civilian vessel, but the vessel didn't give off any OISU civilian or military transponder codes. However Ryuukei was quick to notice the apparent damage to the outer hull. The vessel was bleeding air out of several hull breaches, indicating that the vessel was designed to be inhabited, and that its life support compartments where compromised. However, if the vessel was still bleeding air, that means, this damage occurred very recently, and there where likely still living crew aboard.

Ryuukei acted quickly,"Hyril, intercept that ship, ahead full speed, Weyai, alert the ships medical staff, it's very likely that vessel has wounded aboard. But have security stand by, and raise the shields and power up the defense fields."

The bridge crew nodded and went to work while Ryuukei's first officer Kasana Rekevo commented, "playing it a little cautious aren't you."

Ryuukei nodded," Well that and regulations are clear, when approached by any vessel not giving off an OISU transponder code, take defensive countermeasures."

Kasana nodded," Yeah I know the regulation, but we are very deep into OISU territory, its rather unlikely that a non OISU vessel would make it this far without being stopped."

Ryuukei nodded, but he had a suspicion this vessel was completely alien, a suspicion that was only confirmed once they got close enough to identify hull markings, and when they got a detailed scan of the ships workings. Weyai confirmed," Yep, this vessel is completely alien in origin. A lot of the technology does not match up with any known nation in the galaxy. However the ship is extensively damaged with multiple hull breaches and their power systems are trashed."

Ryuukei nodded, then asked," cause of damage."

Weyai studies the readings fro a moment then added," judging from the damage, looks like they collided with space debris at relativistic speeds. I am picking up what looks like chunks of asteroid lodged in their hull that shouldn't be there."

Ryuukei still decided to play it cautious," can you get them on comms."

Weyai shook her head," No, either their comm system is too heavily damaged or they are using an unfamiliar communications technology."

Ryuukei carefully considered his options, while it was unlikely that this was a trap, bringing the unknown vessel into his hangar bay was risky, especially if the vessel used an unstable power source or was loaded with any explosive materials. However it was unlikely it would be compatible with any of his ships external docking ports. Likewise for all he knew, the ship could be hiding a raiding party of some kind. But at the same time, it was also very likely that this was just simply a civilian vessel that went through an unfortunate accident and had injured people on board in dire need of medical assistance.

So Ryuukei acted on what he saw was the more likely scenario," alright, pull the ship into our main hangar bay, but reinforce the shielding around the hangar bay, have medical and security teams standing by, and be ready to jettison that thing quickly if we detect any explosives or hazardous chemicals."

The ships army detachment commander, Zhurinko Ranval led his team of Army personnel and medics into the ship shortly after it was tractored into the hangar bay. Fortunately the alien ships atmosphere, or what was left of it, was breathable for Zurinko and his team. This fact wasn't all that surprising to him, a lot of species throughout the galaxy breathed in similar atmospheres, however what he found next took him by complete surprise. On the floor in front of him, lay two humans, both of them unconscious and severely injured. Zurinko motioned to a medic whom scanned the both of them then reported," we can save these two, but I'll need to take them to sickbay."

Zurinko nodded," alright do it."

The medic along with several other team members evacuated the two humans. As the medics lifted one of the humans onto a stretcher a metal cylinder fell off the mans belt and landed on the floor. Zhurinko picked the device up and used his scanner to investigate the device.

"What is it," one of Zhurinko's fellow soldiers asked.

Zhurinko carefully examined the sensor readings then answered," looks like an energy blade of some kind. But if my readings of the power cell are right, its a lot more advanced than any of ours."

Zhurinko finished scanning the weapon then secured it to his tactical vest, then a sudden noise from behind him alerted him and he spun around looking for the source. It was coming from a nearby room, the door was barely cracked open. Zhurinko attempted to open the door, along with two of his soldiers. However despite his two companions being cyborgs, they couldn't get the door open.

The Kurokuri carefully examined the door, then said to his two troops, "Alright, looks like we are cutting it open."

The two soldiers nodded and stood back, while Zhuriko grabbed his disruptor pistol and used the weapon to cut through the door. As soon as the door fell free he moved into the room and noticed a very shiny golden colored android pinned under a fallen support beam, and it was trying to free itself. Zhurinko and the other two Akurians quickly moved to help. The Android noticed the three Akurians and tried to talk to them, however the language was utterly incomprehensible to the Akurians. Zhurinko didn't even try to answer as the trio where able to move the fallen support beam just enough to allow the Android to pull itself free of the wreckage. Zhurinko then activated his communicator calling for a translator robot to come to the ship, then he led the search through the rest of the vessel.

Eventually they Akurians found nine others beings. Five of them where human, the other four where unknown alien species. All of them where incapacitated just like the first two humans they had found. The ship itself was an absolute disaster. Given its condition Zhurinko where surprised that there where sections that where still holding an atmosphere. Zhurinko suspected that the craft would never fly again with the level of damage it had sustained. After an hour of inspecting the vessel, Neither Zurinko nor his team found anything on board that posed a danger to the Selerin and he reported this fact to Ryuukei, whom the stood down the ships alert status.

Fleet Admiral Yuvo Hazeri was the current commander of 58th independent fleet and the moment he heard of the Selerin's discovery he decided to head over to the new battleship himself, which had just docked only an hour earlier. Yuvo first went to the ships captain and his nephew Ryuukei," So, what have you found out so far."

Ryuukei walked with Yuvo as the two kurokuri headed towards sickbay," well, we have a translation robot of theirs and it has helped us work out the language, so now our universal translators will work. Other than that, we haven't found out a lot, since the passengers of this ship are still unconscious. Unfortunately two of the aliens died, since we weren't familiar enough with their biology to save them, but we where able to save the other two aliens and all the humans."

"Humans," Yuvo inquired curiously.

Ryuukei nodded," yeah, seven of them are humans."

"And yet you mentioned the ship was completely alien in origin," Yuvo replied.

Ryuukei nodded again," that is also true."

Jedi Master Qui Gonn Jinn slowly started to regain his consciousness. He didn't immediately opened his eyes, instead lay still, first reaching out with the force to feel his surroundings. He knew almost immediately he wasn't on his ship anymore, but on an unfamiliar vessel, crewed by unfamiliar beings. He felt his body had numerous bandages, however he could feel his injuries healing at a much accelerated rate. He quickly realized he was in a medical facility of some kind. He also realized his clothing was missing, though it didn't bother him much. However something else about his body felt different, but he wasn't sure what. He reached out in the force to two nearby beings, sensing their life energy and their feelings. He sensed no ill will from the beings, just curiosity and bewilderment.

Both Yuvo and Ryuukei where energy manipulators, and because of their abilities they could also sense energy around them, and both Yuvo and ryuukei felt an energy type they had never felt before reach out to them. Ryuukei's fur stood on end as he remarked," You fell that too."

Yuvo nodded," Yeah." Both Kurokuri looked around for the source, and soon they found it. The older looking human whom was lying in a nearby medical bed. "well looks like one of them woke up," Ryuukei commented.

Qui Gon realized quickly he had alerted the two. He briefly wondered how they could detect him reaching out in the force. Where the two beings force sensitive, or was it something different entirely. Qui Gon opened his eyes and looked at both of the approaching beings. They where both very small feline like beings, no more than 140 centimeters tall. Both where covered in thick fur, but otherwise wore no clothing, and both looked quite adorable.

Yuvo introduced himself, " I am Fleet admiral Yuvo Hazeri, of the Akurian Confederation starfleet."

Qui gon replied," Jedi master Qui Gon Jinn, I'm from the jedi order and the Galactic republic," Where am I.

"Aboard the Akurian battleship Selerin," Yuvo explained," Your ship was heavily damaged, and your crew badly injured, we where able to save you and most of the crew, but unfortunately we weren't familiar enough with the biology of two of the alien crew members and they died."

Jinn didn't immediately respond, thinking on the matter first. He had never heard of a nation known as the Akurian Cofederation. Did they somehow end up in the unknown regions. However he immediately dismissed that possibility ad they weren't even close to the unknown regions. The Jedi master didn't know what to make of the situation. He then realized how cold the room was compared to what he was used too and it caused him to shiver slightly.

Ryuukei then pointed to some folded clothing on the table next to the bed,"Yeah, your clothing had been pretty ruined, But we where able to find extra clothing on your ship."

Jinn nodded and looked through the clothing, finding his spare Jedi robes, then dressed himself. His body still moved quite slowly and ached from the injuries he sustained, however he didn't find it too much of a hindrance. He then noticed his lightsaber was no where to be found, so he asked," I had a weapon with me, a lightsaber."

"Its in the ships armory I think," Ryuukei answered, figuring that a lightsaber was those two energy blades Zhurinko's team had recovered.

Jinn didn't ask for his weapon right away, figuring that it wouldn't be proper, so he asked," So what is this Akurian Confederation, I am not familiar with it."

Yuvo then explained," Well, the Akurian Confederation is a nation that is apart of the Orion-Izakar Star Union, we are mainly located in the Orion spur of the galaxy."

Jinn had absolutely no idea what Yuvo was talking about. He looked around the room taking notice of the crew of the Lambent V was also present in the medical bay.

"Most of your ships crew is still alive, Yuvo explained, "However two of the aliens didn't make it, We weren't familiar enough with their biology to save them."

Jinn was saddened by their loss, but grateful that these Akurians at least managed to save most of the crew. He then turned to Yuvo asking," And what of our ship itself."

Yuvo shook his head," Damaged well beyond our ability to repair."

Jinn knew without a doubt at this point that these Akurians meant him and the others no harm, and that they seemed to be peaceful by nature. However he figured it was best to learn as much as he could about them while he was here. At that point, the stirring of his Padawan caught his attention, as Obi Wan Kenobi regain his consciousness. Jinn then turned his attention to Obi Wan as the young man asked," Where are we."

"It would seem we are among friends," Qui Gon answered.

Notes: Just the first chapter in this Star wars and my own Sci Fi crossover idea. Yeah this one has rather heavy involvement of my own characters and universe, but its only going to really be like that for a few chapters, then after that much of the story will be centered on the star wars universe itself. It is going to incorporate quite a few what if scenario's but I wont spoil them just yet. Otherwise, expect the next update next Saturday, that chapter is already written and I am starting to work on chapter 3.

Also for those of you whom want to actually get a good look at what these Akurian look like, look at my profile and it will ahve links to my deviant art page. Also my avatar is a picture of Ryuukei.
