[quote=@thedman] I agree, it's likely that a good portion of the crews would be dead. But there would still be enough people to work together. Especially since the UED ship would have SCV's, which would help a lot. For how they got there, I was imagining that each ship had some sort of FTL-related mishap (for example, I was thinking of having the UED ship enter an emergency FTL jump with no coordinates to escape from some Dominion ships that were chasing them). The crews and the locals could have all sorts of interactions, too. I'd imagine Twilight would love to check out all the fancy new technology. [/quote] I was imagining something not too different, though likely with some comically timed inter-universal phenomenon that actually results in their FTL jump being directed there... heavens though, if it's an FTL crash, we got some real damage coming XD hahah. This would also be a good excuse for me to throw in a little force of locals to explore with them 'on behalf of the crown' to fill out the crew a bit more. [Pony SCV incoming! MUWAHAHAHAHAH!]
