Title: Andromeda Trek
This is a Star Trek Voyager/Andromeda crossover.
Disclaimer: I do not own Andromeda or Star Trek Voyager or their characters. I am making absolutely nothing from this story.
Thanks to those of you who pointed out some errors I had made with the Voyager crew. I have corrected the errors, I hope. I apologize for the mistakes. Please don't hurt me! I have also changed the story quite a bit so if you read it already, go ahead and read again and let me know what you think.
Please Read and Review

Chapter 1
Captain Kathryn Janeway of the USS Voyager was in Holodeck 2 enjoying a horseback ride through the Grand Canyon in Arizona of Old Earth. Captain Janeway was using the brief downtime before leaving on an away mission to enjoy a brief respite from work.
"Captain Janeway, the shuttle is all prepared for the away mission," a voice announced over the com. Janeway stopped the horse and dismounted before tapping the metal communicator fastened to her uniform. I'm on my way. Computer, end program."
At the captain's command, the horse and everything else immediately disappeared, revealing an empty room lined with grids. Janeway waited briefly as the door slid open allowing her to exit the Holodeck. Outside of Holodeck 2 Janeway was met by Tuvok, her Vulcan science officer and the two walked quickly to the nearest elevator. Janeway, Tuvok, Helmsman Tom Paris, and Operations Officer Harry Kim were taking one of Voyager's shuttles to K'laan, a Class M planet Voyager had recently discovered in the quadrant.
"Captain, Mr. Kim and Mr. Paris are waiting for us on the shuttle," the Vulcan informed as the two officers rode the elevator to the shuttle bay. When they arrived Tom Paris was already strapped in the pilot's seat beginning pre-flight procedures. Harry Kim was still making a last second check of his equipment on board the shuttle.
Janeway and Tuvok sat down and strapped themselves in their seats.
"Bon Voyage everyone!" First Officer Chakotay greeted over the shuttle's com.
"Thank you Chakotay. Hold down the fort while we're gone," Janeway instructed.
"Aye Captain. I am looking forward to seeing some interesting samples from K'laan when you come back Mr. Tuvok," Chakotay remarked.
Tuvok raised arched an eyebrow replying, "Then I shall try not to disappoint you Commander,"
As Paris guided the shuttle through the docking bay doors Janeway, Kim, and Tuvok eased back in their seats and began to relax.
On the Bridge Chakotay and the bridge crew watched the shuttle make its way to K'laan. As Voyager's crew started to head back to their official duties, Voyager's sensors picked up the formation of a wormhole. Normally this would have been good news. Voyager often traveled through wormholes, cutting decades off of their trip back to Earth. However, this wormhole was forming in front of Voyager's shuttle. The small shuttle rocked as the wormhole sucked it closer.
Chakotay immediately attempted to contact the shuttle. "Chokotay to Janeway, how is everybody holding out?"
Paris focused all his attention on steering the shuttle away from the wormhole.
" It's a bumpy ride but we're okay," Janeway answered as she was jostled back in her seat. "Can you get a tractor beam on the shuttle and pull us away from the wormhole?"
"Ensign Torres is already engaging the tractor beam, Captain," the First Officer replied.
"Well done Mr. Chakotay. What do Voyager's sensor readings have to say about the wormhole," Janeway asked.
"It appears to have an anomaly absent from other wormholes we have gone through," Chokotay answered as he leaning forward in his chair on the Bridge.
The captain frowned at the news, "Please elaborate."
"The ship's sensors show that this wormhole is larger and denser than any other wormhole we've encountered," Chakotay informed.
As he spoke Voyager's tractor beam centered on the shuttlecraft and began pulling away from the wormhole. Voyager's shuttle was almost clear of the wormhole when the wormhole's gravitational pull increased. The wormhole's pull was so strong that the Chakotay feared the lives of the shuttle crew.
"Ensign Torres, disengage the tractor beam!' the First Officer ordered over the com.
"Aye sir," the half Klingon/half Human engineer answered back.
As soon as the tractor beam was disengaged, the shuttle quickly shot through the wormhole, losing all communication with Voyager. The wormhole closed up and disappeared so quickly that Voyager had no time to follow the shuttle.
Chakotay slammed his right fist on the arm of his chair as the shuttle disappeared into the wormhole. All he could do was hope his captain and his crewmates were safe.
"They're gone," B'Elanna Torres sadly announced over the com.
"We'll get them back," Chokotay vowed to rest of the crew.
On the other side of the wormhole the Andromeda Ascendant, the last surviving warship of the fallen Commonwealth. Andromeda's High Guard captain, Dylan Hunt made it his life's mission to restore the Commonwealth. Hunt had gained support of some of the planets that were once part of the Old Commonwealth, and even managed to get some new planets to come on board. That was not to say that Hunt was having an easy time of realizing his dream. Most worlds did not wish to see the return of the Old Commonwealth, and those that did were slow to give their support to the High Guard captain. Hunt welcomed the support, as tepid as it may be. Which was why Andromeda and its crew were traveling to Talos 2 on a mission to get the planet's leaders to sign a non-aggression pact? The non- aggression pact was the first step towards Talos 2 becoming a full-fledged member of the New Commonwealth.
Captain Dylan Hunt was sitting in his quarters in the middle of a video meeting with Brand Helner, leader of the Talos 2 negotiating team. The two men were finalizing the details of Andromeda's visit to Talos 2. A smile crossed the tall captain's face as he pushed a button to end the transmission. It had been a long meeting but everything had progressed as planned.
In a split second a holographic image of Andromeda's artificial intelligence appeared before Hunt. "Dylan, my sensors are detecting a large wormhole off of my port side."
"All hands to the command deck!" Dylan ordered his four lone crewmembers, before heading out the door of his quarters.
Dylan arrived on the Command Deck minutes later to find his security officer Tyr Anisazi and executive officer Beka Valentine waiting for him at their stations.
"Andromeda, put the wormhole on screen now," Dylan ordered.
Immediately a wormhole appeared on the ships view screen.
"Wow! That is some way out wormhole," commented engineer Seamus Harper as he rushed onto the bridge.
"It's a beautiful wormhole," admired Trance Gemini, Andromeda's medic and botanist as she took up her station next to Harper. "It's a shame that something so beautiful can be so dangerous."
"I know what you mean Trance babe. I have the same reaction to Rommie," Harper joked, referring to Andromeda's artificial intelligence in android form.
AI Rommie shot the short engineer a look that wiped the smirk off of his face. The android avatar was not about to encourage her engineer's warped sense of humor.
"Dylan, I am detecting something coming through the wormhole," Holo Rommie announced as she appeared in front of Hunt.
Dylan raised an eyebrow as he kept his attention on the view screen. "This should be interesting."
"To say the least," Tyr deadpanned as he keyed in coordinates into the console in front of him.
"It appears to be a ship exiting the wormhole," Holo Rommie informed her captain.
The shuttle shot through the wormhole exit, coming to a halt near Andromeda. Both ships were now nearly parallel with each other.
This is a Star Trek Voyager/Andromeda crossover.
