Note: I had the idea of sticking Star Trek with Halo for a long time, but that idea did not go too well. It is not fun having the Enterprise go around firing phasers and quantum torpedoes. However, I did feel that having massive space battles that included the Imperial Navy and Armies vs the Covenant to be a bit more colourful. So, here is the background on what happens.

The Battle of Yavin turn out to be a Imperial Victory, so just use your imagination on what happens. The second Death Star was completed but the Eclipse is still in the shipyards of Kuat. The story takes place when the Emperor orders a massive fleet wide war games to show the "True power of the Dark Side" to all systems. Vader, Thrawn and Piett are in the 1rst Assualt fleet [a massive space fleet joined with numerous Venator-class star cruisers which act a assualt ships]. As the fleet prepares to jump, things go astray as explained in the first chapter. So enjoy and tell me what you think.

*Note: This story takes place during the Second Battle of Earth but not during Halo 3. This story will take a different branch.


Chapter 1: REEMBODY

"Admiral Thrawn!" grumbled Vader, "What just happened and where are we?"

"Seems like we are in an uncharted system sir, the last reported comm. was by one of the Interdictor reporting a malfunction with its gravity well generators just as we jumped into hyperspace."

Vader stared at the scanner consoles, trying to make out the calculations as the computer reconstructed the last jump. The normal distortions of entering hyperspaces started to go haywire milliseconds after the fleet's drives were engaged. The Executer's navigator plugged in the last bit of data and the console displayed a temporal worm hole extending from Kuat space to this region.

"What! An anomaly based on a harmony of mathematical precision and coincidence? This is one for the archives," thought Vader. "What are we looking at Admiral?" as he stared into a new console showing an unknown planet.

It seems to be a habitable planet sir; seven major landmasses, 70% of the surface is water, 70/25/5 atmosphere, and a developed civilization from our initial scans. I have also sent a picket line to scour the area"

"Excellent Admiral, for I sense a great presence of the force here. What ships made it through?"

"Err, majority of fleet sir including the 100 Star Destroyers, The Executer, The Death Star, and even the troop ships," replied Thrawn.

"LORD VADER! The aliens are trying to contact us, plus our picket line reports a massive battle on the planets dark side," Reported the comm. Operator.

Lord Hood stared at the screen in disbelief as Cortana's replacement AI, Kamov filled him in.

"Definitely isn't Covenant, look at the hulls and plating, very metallic" observed Kamov.

"Then who the hell are they and can they help us?"

"They are responding to my hail, I'll patch it on screen," replied Kamov.

"This is the Executer, command ship of the Imperial 1rst Assault Fleet of the Galactic Empire, I am Lord Darth Vader, and whom am I speaking to?"

"This is Fleet Admiral Terrace Hood of the UNSCDF, I would like to ask you if your intentions are hostile?"

"That seems to be seen admiral, however it looks like you have your hands full right now, do you require assistance in your battle? My picket lines report that your forces are outnumbered considerably, yet they still fight valiantly."

"Why do you wish to help us, not the Covenant?"

"So that's what those apes call themselves! Well I would rather help humans than Wookie, admiral, so prepare for my arrival."

"It would be unwise to come aboard this station Lord Vader, my forces are being overrun, I am preparing to evacuate planet….."

"You will stay at your current location Admiral!" ordered Vader, "I will bring reinforcements and crush this pathetic race, and then they will learn the true POWER OF THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE!"

Hood was taken aback with being given an order by someone completely alien to him, but he couldn't argue back, he was being offered a trump card to be used against the Covenant.

"The dark side of the force? What the hell was that," Hood pondered.

This man had some sort of energy radiating from his appearance, the deep breathing sounds coupled with the deep booming voice and imposing suit he wore was more than Hood could handle.

"Fine, be quick about it; my forces are starting to dwindle," Hood shot back
