Ixius: Shattered Empires (Chapter Five added June 12th)
Ixius: Shattered Empires is a revised edition of Ixius: In the Beginning. After writing out eight chapters, I went back and decided that I didn't like some of the things, so I decided to revise everything. I also decided to change the title. Shattered Empires is the first part in the Ixius saga. Ixius is a very large crossover story, dealing with many different sci-fi realms. I would appreciate feedback from people, because it will allow me to improve the story and make it more enjoyable for everyone. Right now i have a revised edition of Chapter One. Chapter Two, will be up with in a week.
Enjoy...
Chapter One:
The starship Voyager, floated in space, among an asteroid field orbiting the 5th planet of the Sen System. She was in hiding, minimal power, ship wide. On the outside of what used to be a gorgeous grey hull of an intrepid class starship, was now filled with gouges, fires, and damage everywhere. Hull breeches decks wide were visible on the ship, where once phaser arrays existed, now nothing but gaping charred hull. As Janeway entered her quarters what she saw, only reminded her of the dire situation. Outside her windows was a view of the asteroid field. The bluish glow of the asteroids lit up her quarters. It was actually an amazing site; you could see the bright son on the other side of the asteroid field. However she looked around, broken glass from her coffee table, burnt out consoles, mess everywhere on the floor. A beam from the sealing had fallen, and cut her desk in half. She walked over to the washroom, to clean up a bit, before she went back to work. Chakotay didn’t give her much choice in the matter; he wanted her of the bridge for at least eight hours. She looked in the mirror, she looked like hell. Her hair out of place, her skinned dirty from smoke, and blood stains, from cuts. A scar ran down her left cheek, from when a console overloaded in a corridor on deck six, a week ago, during one of the attacks. The doctor offered to heal it for her, but she refused, she said it was a memento, one of many on her body; her hands were scared from a fire. They have been under attack for three weeks now, there enemy wasn’t giving up, and Janeway was amazed that they have survived so many attacks. Including this morning it makes it sixteen, but they have paid a price. Thirty-four crew members killed, and another forty injured. Majority of the ship is crippled, and heavily damaged; they’ve lost three phaser banks, and the after torpedo tubes. Chakotay brought up the idea of finding a place to stay, a few days ago, after the last major fight, but she said no. They received the latest data stream from earth five days ago, she hasn’t gotten around to reading the messages yet, the first order of the message was she was to read the message from command before, allowing the rest of the crew to access there messages. She decided that after she got cleaned up a bit, she would read it. She turned on the sonic shower, and got in.
Harry was on the bridge. He had been working for almost four days straight, they all have been. There was much to do, but Harry had something to celebrate, among this entire situation, something good happened to him. He got another pip on his color. It was no longer Ensign Harry Kim, but Lieutenant Harry Kim. He had hoped to reply to his parents about it, and give them the good news; his parents would be so proud especially his mother, but the deflector dish was heavily damaged before they could reply. The console came to life. “Yes!” he cheered a few of the crew members looked at him. His smile disappeared quickly. He looked around the bridge, and despite everything he saw it on their faces. Hopelessness. He was not surprised, considering over the last few weeks, everyone on this ship has seen friends they’ve been with for the last 7 years die. It wasn’t easy, and Harry hasn’t gotten used to it. But he was become numb to it, every time there was an attack, and another casualty, somehow it didn’t affect him as much as it used to. That fact alone, scared the hell out of him, Chakotay said that it never gets easier, and the pain of it all will come back, once we have time to reflect on it, assuming we live through it. Chakotay walked up to him, “Good Work, Ens… I mean Lieutenant” he smiled a bit. Harry looked up, and gave a small smile back. “So what can you tell me?” he asked, quietly, and without much enthusiasm. That’s what it was, there was no more happiness on this ship anymore, and it was gloomy. “I have partial long range sensors, and from what I can tell no sign of our friends. The planet below us however, is an M class planet, but I wouldn’t suggest setting us down on it, the asteroid field, wouldn’t protect us 100% from their sensors. Voyager is running of 56% power, life support is off on 7 decks, the doctor has relocated the triage hall to deck three section 20. We have impulse power, but warp drive is offline. Assuming that we do not have any more run ins, Voyager should be back to 100% status, in about five to six weeks, that’s minimum time sir” Harry said. Voyager had sustained an incredible amount of damage, but she was still fighting, they’ve done damage, and the BORG have lost a few ships still due to her. “Good work, Harry, keep working.” And that was it. Chakotay went into the turbolift.
Chakotay walked down the corridor. It had partial working lights in it. Everywhere you looked there were conduits, charred panels, burnt out circuits. He didn’t agree with Janeway's descion with continuing on, he thought that turning back to friendly territory was a good idea. However Kathryn of course brought up the Scorpion incident, and the other BORG incidents, and compared them to this situation, which from his perspective was totally different. He came to her quarters, and hit the padd. A second later the door slit open, and he walked, Kathryn was sitting on the couch. “Good Morning” he said to her, with a half a smile on his face.
“Morning, and as far as it being good, I’ll let you be the judge of that. What our latest status report?” she asked him quietly, not even looking at him, she was staring out the window, thinking hard, contemplating, theorizing, the usual Kathryn Janeway.
“Well, Harry managed to get sensors back online. The ship is heavily damaged, he estimates that assuming we don’t have anymore run in ins” he sat down on the couch beside her, taking a sip of his coffee. “It will take five to six weeks to repair Voyager, back to normal operation status. We can stay here for that duration of the time, the asteroid field is safe from their sensors.” He told her, he knew she was going to say something along the lines, of we have to move on.
“If it weren’t for the message from Starfleet I would compete agree with you. We cannot fight them damaged like this, but now we don’t have much time, Chakotay. Time has run out for us.” She moved to the desk, and handed him a padd. She was looking at him, while he was reading, and she saw the look on this face, the look of disbelief.
He just looked up at her, not knowing what to say. “I had the same feeling. I sat here for twenty minutes. We don’t have five or six weeks to wait around. What they are proposing, hell, telling us to accomplish in that time frame, is nearly impossible. I’m telling you, I have the respect and admiration for a lot of those Admirals, but some times I just think they come up with impossible things, and expect the rest of us accomplish them, like it was a routine mission” She was angry, who wouldn’t be in there situation.
“I can’t believe it, the Klingon Empire, Romulan Empire, and the Federation complete wiped out. They must have used hundreds of thousands of ships, to accomplish that kind of invasion.” He said in disbelief still.
“The Dominion swept through the Romulan Empire first, and reinforcements poured in daily from the Gamma Quadrant. It took, less then two weeks for them to reach Federation space. The remains of the Klingon and Romulan forces fell back to federation space. They fought for the last 3 weeks non stop. And we are under orders, to prepare for the fleets arrival in the delta quadrant six months from now” she said to him.
“And just how does Starfleet expect one ship, to establish a colony. Especially a starship that doesn’t have the means to do it. Starfleet has done some crazy things, but I think this tops it. Not to mention, how do the expect to cross 40,000 light years?” he asked. He was angry. Starfleet expected the impossible this time around; they don’t have the resources to accomplish anything of that magnitude.
“A slipstream catapult” Janeway went one of the remaining panels in her quarters, and tapped it on screen was a display of a huge ring. “The catapult opens up, and propels anything that enters it to, slipstream velocity. They don’t have to enter slipstream the way we did, the computer systems, maintain everything. Unfortunately, they have to becarefull, and instead of taking them a 3 month journey, the amount of ships traveling in the tunnel, will take them six months. We have six months to somehow get through this mess, and to establish a system for that fleet to be able to colonize. I don’t know Chakotay...” she looked at him. The red alert Klaxon sounded. And Harry came through the comm.
“Red Alert, BORG sphere is on an intercept course. All hands to battle stations, all senior officers report to their stations. 2 minutes till intercept”
Chakotay and Janeway left her quarters, and heading for the nearest turbolift. Everyone on the ship was moving fast, almost running to their stations. They entered the turbolift. “Bridge” Chakotay commanded.
Harry was moving around the bridge, ordering the crew around. “Helm, standby to take evasive actions, tactical, bring all weapons online.” The bridge was dark, red panels flashed on the bridge in some areas. Harry heard the hiss of the doors from the turbolift. He walked over to his station.
“Put the Sphere on screen. Harry what can you tell me about it?” She asked. She stood in the middle of the bridge, while Chakotay sat down at his post. There was tension on the bridge he felt it. He suspected some of them didn’t expect to make it alive out of this fight.
“Class 4 Tactical Sphere. Highly regenerative armor, and shields. We would have to move very fast. We don’t have the element of surprise, but I think we can still use this to our advantage. If we drop a signature trap on one of the asteroids, then move away at minimum power, they won’t be able to detect voyager, and then we can come around, and hit them with Phase Torpedos. “ he told them confidently. Harry has gotten used to this now, after so many years. It was like second nature to him.
“Mr. Paris, do it!” she sat down in her chair. “Aye ma’am” he replied.
Voyager launched a signature marker. And dropped its power to minimum. The BORG sphere approached the field, and began firing at the various asteroids, clearing a path. Just as it approached the marker asteroid. Voyager roared to life, and came up from below the asteroid field, and opened fire. Six Torpedoes emerged from the front of voyagers engineering hull. The streaked towards the sphere, and a few moments, later large impacts on the hull took place, following by large ruptures of explosion. The sphere changed course and headed towards voyager. Its weapons firing gunning down voyager.
“The sphere took heavy damage to its top portside section. I am also showing power fluctuations in there, shield system.” Voyager jerked a bit. “Captain they’ve got a holding beam locked on us. They are pulling us in.
Janeway stood up. “Mr. Tuvok, remodulate our shield, tom try to get us free!” Voyager jerked again, as she tried to break free of the BORG beam. But it had no affect. “Captain we can’t break free, we don’t have enough power!” replied tom. “Tuvok, on my command fire two phase torpedoes, Mr. Paris, try to keep us in front of the shockwave.” She braced herself. “Fire!” a second later. Two torpedoes emerged from voyagers after torpedo tubes. They impacted the hull of the Sphere, and the beam was cut. Voyager broke free and sped away. Some of the shockwave hit the ship, and consoles exploded.
The BORG sphere was heavily damaged. Its shields were offline. Over the course of the last few weeks, the BORG have sustained heavy losses. Shields have no affect on the Phase Torpedoes. Therefore all hits go directly on the hull. Voyager adapted replication technology to replicate new torpedoes everyone time one is fired. This has given them a large amount of weapons power. The BORG have lost over 40 ships to Voyager so far, because of this weapon. “The sphere is continuing its pursuit, Captain. Incoming torpedoes!” stated tom, in a semi loud voice. Just then several consoles exploded, including toms. “Tom!” yelled janeway, and she ran up to him. He was burnt badly on the face, he had a weak pulse. “Get him to sickbay!” a few crew members came up and took tom away. “Mr Kim, standby to put as much power into impulse reactors you can. Mr Tuvok, fire Phase Torpedoes at will, I want that ship destroyed. Fire!” Voyager shot torpedo after torpedo from its aft banks. They all impacted the BORG sphere. A few moments later the sphere exploded in a great ball of fire. Voyager sped, away as fast as she could, but it wasn’t enough. She couldn’t outrun the shockwave. The shockwave slammed into the side of her, and she spun out of control. Several large explosion erupted from the hell. The impulse reactors exploded, nearly destroying the nacelle pylons. She continued to spin out of control, and just floated in space.
“We’ve got several hull breaches, the Impulse reactors exploded, we are dead in space. We’ve lost life support on 2 more decks. Weapons are offline. And long range sensors just picked up another transwarp conduit opening up. Its 3 Level 4 Tactical Cubes. “Harry’s voice trailed off. Janeway looked at him, and she didn’t know what to do. The cubes would be in weapons range in under 1 minute. There was only one thing to do. She looked at Chakotay, he gave her a look, as if he knew exactly the same thing.
“Captain, I’m detecting spatial fissures opening up around us, there is 50 of them! I’m detecting Species 8472, Federation, and Romulan signatures, as well as signatures of ships we’ve never seen before. They are opening fire on the BORG ships”.
Outside of Voyager. A fleet of starships attacked the BORG ships. They BORG stood no chance. They ships destroyed them, in seconds. Then they came back around, and one of the starships extended a beam on Voyager, and dragged them into it’s hangar bay. Then the ships disappeared back into the fissures and space was completely silent again.
Inside the hangar, they saw other starships, some of them they recognized. Galaxy, Defiant, Intrepid, and a few others that they didn’t. They saw thousands of people on the deck.
“Were being hailed, the person identifies themselves as Grand Admiral Kathryn Janeway of the Multi-Verse Federation”. Said Harry in disbelief.

Grand Admiral Janeway
Grand Admiral Janeway, will be explained in the second chapter. Becuase of the nature of the Ixius storyline, I had to make some interesting plot ideas. After chapter two, it will make sense... I will post an explanation, of the this part. But I do not want to ruin the storyline.

I hope you also explain why 8472 is allied with the Feddies and Romulans too.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Note: I was kinda ummm drugged up when i wrote the end of this, so it might be a bit wacked lol... but enjoy anywayz...
CHAPTER NOTE: USS-TRISTAR- Somehwere in the chapter the tristart gets swtiched to the Triton lol. This is the same ship... sry lol.
Chapter Two
Uss-Tristar Bridge
The glow of the slipstream streaked by, as the Tristar made it's way back to Federation Territory. They were preparing to drop out of slipstream at the edge of the Sol Galaxy, to make the jump into Livda space. Despite the speed of slipstream it would still take a minimum of 10 years to cross from the Sol Galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy. The Livda drive was invented to minimize the journey to only hours. It's only purpose is to make jumps between Galaxies.
Janeway moved towards her command chair. "Helm, prepare to take us out of slipstream. All hands this is the Captain, standby for Livda jump." she looked on the screen. The blue glow of the slipstream began to fade out, and normal space slowly came into view. The view from the edge of the milky was much different, you clearly saw other galaxies out there, Andromeda being the closest. The bridge panels flashed green. Janeway looked at her ops officer. He nodded to her "All stations report ready ma'am" he told her. Livda drive took a lot of power, and the initial jump was very strenuous on the ship. They were being accelerated to more then 30 times the speed of light. Something to be thought impossible. One this she quickly learned even as a child, was that nothing was impossible in the Multi-Verse Federation. She grew up, on the front lines. He father and mother were both officers, and eventually both commanded starships. Both of her parents were killed more then 20 years ago. She shook the thoughts out of her head. “Helm, initiate the jump into Livda space”. She ordered. The ship began to humm, the hull parts of the hull were glowing a bright greenish. Livda drive was an integrated complex propulsion system, built directly into the hulls of starships. She felt pressure on her chest, and then a loud wooosh sound, and the screen turned a deep red color. “We’ve reached Livda space. Estimated time of arrival in the Andromeda Galaxy, 3 hours 27 minutes, and 45 seconds.” Reported the officer with a grin on her face. “Nicely done, ensign. Commander, you have the bridge, I am going to meet our visitors.” Her first officer nodded.
Uss-Voyager
“Mr. Kim, can you please tell me where we are?” she walked over to the operations station. She wanted to know what was going on. Harry was looking at the display. “Captain, I do not know how this is possible, but according to these sensor readings, we are in between the Andromeda and Milky way galaxies. We appear to be on a course for the Andromeda Galaxy, at a speed approximetly 30 times that of the speed of light. I am not entirely sure this is possible, Captain, but I am also detecting 11 starships in here other then us. And as well as over 15,000 life signs on board, in total. The Ship we are in is just over 15.4 kilometers in length, and almost 6 kilometers in width, 237 decks. This ship is huge, and it has a Federation signature”. Janeway just stared at him. How is this possible, she wanted answers and she was going to have them.
A whirl of energy started in the middle of the bridge, and then a second later faded, leaving officer standing there. “Hello, My name is Jason Syrexx. Admiral Janeway thought it would be best if you had an escort Captain, and someone to answer your questions, at least some of them, which she was sure you would have. Do not worry, you are among friends here, Captain. You and your crew will be accommodated with anything you may need. I have been ordered to escort you and your senior officers to the Admirals ready room, where she would like to talk to you all.” He tried to sound as friendly as possible. The Admiral was worried about scaring them, Janeway wasn’t someone you wanted to press, she would press back, and knock you of your feet.
Janeway pondered everything for a moment, there were to many unknowns and she didn't like that. She stepped up to him. "Where are we?" she was genuinly curious.
"You are on board the Sol Defense Starship USS-Triton. We are currently on our way to the andromeda galaxy, to one of our major bases. You are in a parellel universe, called M34.” He said thoroughly. “As by now you have noticed that we have left the Milkyway Galaxy, and are on our way to the Andromeda Galaxy. That is wear the nearest outpost of ours is located. Now, if there are no other questions, I will take you to see Grand Admiral Janeway. She is eargly awaiting your visit, she will be able to answer your questions”. He ended that sentence with a tone of curiosity, but making a firm statement as well. He looked at Janeway directly.
Janeway wasn’t sure what to make out of this, but for the moment, she was not sure what she would, they are obviously more technologically advanced then they were, but what made her question, is what was the Federation, doing together with Romulans, and Species 8472. She shook her head. “Alright, let’s go see this Admiral of yours, all Senior officers report to port side docking port.” Janeway, Chakotay, Harry, Tuvok, Tom, and Syrexx entered the turbolift. It was a little cramped. A few moments later they exited the lift, and began to walk down the hall. Chakotay looked at Syrexx. “Tell me something Commander, why do we have to travel all the way, to the Andromeda Galaxy, what happened to Earth?” he was genuinely curious. Syrexx just looked at him, as they rounded the corner. “I am afraid, that in our universe, Earth is the homeworld of the BORG Collective.” He turned his head back, and continued to walk, towardst he docking port. People were already coming through it. “Repairs on Voyager, have already began, she will be better then new, in a week.” The rest of the Voyager senior staff was already waiting for them at the port. They all walked throught, they exited a bridge, which extended to the side of the hangar. What they saw amazed them all.
They figured that this Hangar was at least 60 decks high. There were 3 galaxy class starships, but they appeared to carry two cannons on the bottom of there saucers, and about 7 other ships that they didn’t recognize. There were hundreds of people walking around here, all with some kind of agenda. Two of the Galaxy ships appeared to be heavly damaged, one was missing a warp nacelle. “This is a typical hangar bay of a Destroyer Class starship. They house 10 starships in the main bay, and five other starships in 5 smaller bays located on the bottom of the saucer section. Essentially, the destroyers, were among the first warships designed to be floating fortresses. This ship has been in service for almost 120 years, she’s got a major refit coming up next month, which will include a brand new amour, and weapon array. As well as an addiontion of the new Hyperion nacelles. They crossed throught a set of large doors. And entered a corridor, after about a minute of a walk they approached a turbolift. On the way, they noticed dozens of species which they have never recognized. “Just how big is this “federation” of yours Mr. Syrexx, asked Paris.” Everyone was a bit surprised to have a question like that come out of Tom Paris’ mouth, they expected, something more like, when can I fly one of these. “As of yesterday, we span 17 Universes, and over 400 galaxies in total. Some of our members, have never had to deal with the full BORG war, so they expanded through many galaxies, before they entered the war. Main Bridge.” The turbolift began to move. About 20 seconds later the doors opened.
“This is a bridge?” asked B’Elanna. “Yes, this is the main part of the destroyers command center. It’s a 3 deck bridge, with a large viewscreen at the center. Because of the size of these ships, and the amount of stations necessary, we had to make a suituibly large bridge for them. Behind, us is Command Center. It’s a 5 deck room, that has communications, war, and everything else necessary. It deals with Federation wide matters, most starships now have a form of this, because it allows any starships to become a command center, at any point in time.” He saw the curiosity in their eyes, and he found it fascinating. It’s been a long time, since he’s seen that in peoples eyes. He was used to seeing, pain, and despair, and toll of war. “How long does it take to build one of these starships?”. Asked B’Elanna. The engineer in her, was screaming to get out. “Normally, it takes us 2 years. We use Genesis torpedoes to build the parts, and we put them together, and then the rest of out fitting, takes just over a year and half. Trials take another month or so. Crews begin working on these ships, as soon as the initial hull construction is completed, this allows them to get familiar with the starship, as it’s being built. This way please.” They went down a ramp, and into a room, in the corner stood a figure. She turned around. Kathryn, froze, it was like seeing a mirror image of herself.
“Hello, I am Grand Admiral Kathryn Janeway, of the Multi-Verse Federation.” She went up to them, she looked over at Kathryn. Kathryn stepped up to her. “I am Captain, Kathryn Janeway, United Federation of Planets” she both exchanged smiles. “Please have a seat, I trust that Commander Syrexx, was helpful in answers your questions?” she asked puzzled a bit. Janeway, nodded. “Yes he was, but with those answers, came even more questions.” She said. The Admiral smiled. “Isn’t it always, the more we know, the more realize how little we really know, well hopefully I can answer all your questions. However before we start, would any like anything to drink or eat?” she asked. She knew the Captain was assessing her every move. She was doing the same thing. Everyone shook there head. “Very well then, let’s proceed and get down to business.”
Janeway, turned to them, in her seat, and she began to talk. “As you know already, you are not in your own Universe. You have been aware of the concept of Parallel universes, for sometime now I am sure. We designated your Universe, as M174. We also determined, that your universe is the mostly likely to accept the change, and the acceleration then the others. Mostly because of your unique situation, of the collapse of the Alpha Quadrant, and Beta Quadrant, powers. Unfortunetely, I cannot tell you everything. The Multi-Verse Prime Directive forbids me too. But your universe is very special, and you will realize that very soon. The Multi-Verse council has issued orders, to give your Universe technology from ours. We will provide each of your senior officers with a starship to command. We will also, give you technologies, that you can share with the Romulans, and Klingons. However, what you cannot due, is provide them with Federation technology. Although our technologies are similar, the Federation is ahead in most areas. The reason, we are giving you this, is mainly, because we are loosing the war. Let me give you a little history lesson. In the year, 1931 we first encountered the BORG. The entered, Federation territory, and began a mass invasion. Over the next 30 years, we fought with them, and at each battle at best, we drew them to a stalemate. In the final battle, known as the Battle of Earth, a mass fleet of ships appeared out of nowhere, and wiped out the BORG fleet, and pushed them back into the delta Quadrant. The leader was, Grand Admiral Picard, of the Imperial Federation of Planets. They provided us with ships, and technology, and we rebuilt the Federation. It wasn’t until 2098 that the BORG returned, and the returned in a fury. They swept through the Klingon and Romulan empires, like wild fire. Both Empires, were weakened, through a massive war between them. In a matter of 8 months, both were completed wiped out. For the next 40 years the Federation and the BORG were at war with each other, on the verge of our victory, the BORG fought back, we had no idea where the ships came from, and then the Imperial Federation showed up again. We joined their alliance against the BORG, and we’ve been fighting them ever since. You see Captain, until we met the Imperial Federation, we never knew anything about the BORG, and we just assumed that they were a species that originated in our universe just as any other, just as you think.” She looked at there eyes, they both shocked and intrigued. “Are you telling me, that the BORG are not native to each of our universes, and that they somehow managed to cross the universes, and establish a multi-verse empire?” Kathryn saw the smile on the Admiral face. “Very good, Captain, and yes you would be correct.” She stood up, and went to a display. “Meet the BORG” a picture of a Bi-ped species showed up, they looked humanoid. “Species 001, also knows as the Alesians. They were not different from us, a race of scholars, painters, had a large interstellar empire that spread 5 galaxies. But like any other race, they eventually came to a point of where they merged with machine. It was purely voluntary. However, as more people, joined, they came stronger. They called themselves the Thinkers. Eventually there numbers grew, and they began to make there own colonies, and eventually declared independence from the Alesian Empire. Since the Alesian’s saw no problem with this, they agreed, and gave up a part of there space, to allow the Thinkers to develop. They established a homeworld, and everything, but things went very bad at one point. The Thinkers wanted more, and more, and eventually, they didn’t give a choice to people, they just assimilated them into there species. We believe that around the same time, the Collective conscience was born, and the idea of a Queen. The thinkers, assimilated the Alesian Empire, and renamed themselves to the BORG. Over the next few million years, they expanded in there universe, assimilating any species they came across. Eventually they ran out, so they began to expand to other universes. However, they ran into a race that was equally as powerfull. A Massive war took place, for 460 million years, they fought between each other, entire universes devastated, from the war. We don’t know the name of the race, but what we do know, is that they some how managed to destroy the Inter-Universal Gates the BORG created, and erased all knowledge of there existence. However, some of the BORG on some universes, have gained that knowledge back, and began to expand. In this universe it was first an alliance between the rebuilt Federation, Romulan, and Klingon Empires. Eventually we gained more allies, and even Species 8472 joined our alliance against the BORG, after several incursions into fluidic space by the BORG.” She moved around the table. They were all curious. They wanted to know as much as possible, but what she was about to tell them, would probably shock them the most. She hasn’t told them, what there responsibility is.
“The Multi-Verse Federation was created just over 70 years ago, between all allied universes, and species. Over the years, we slowly bring in new universes, to help the cause. And that brings us to your universe. We are going to introduce you to our technology. The crew of Voyager, must be the only ones that will be aware of the existence of the Multi-Verse Federation, you are forbidden to provide information on this to anyone. It will take sometime before your Universe will be ready for this. One thing what I will tell you is, that one day the war will come to your universe, and you will have to be ready. We will provide with the starships, and technology. We also know that your Federation Alliance, is on it’s way to the Delta Quadrant, this will allow you to set up new basis and colonies in the Delta Quadrant, easier, to wage your war against the BORG.” She was about to continue when Janeway stood up.
“With all due respect Admiral, but we don’t have a home planet anymore, Earth, is now under the rule of the Dominion. The BORG, are not exactly, our concern right now, nor do we have the power to take them on.” She said bluntly. She had no intentions of raging a war against the BORG, when they had earth to get to, and to get the Dominion out of the Alpha Quadrant once and for all.
“Captain, compared to the BORG, the Dominion threat is nothing. What do you think will happen, when the BORG come to your universe, a flood of hundreds of thousands of BORG vessels pouring in. How long do you think, your earth will last then? Unfortunetely the BORG pose a bigger threat. The ships we will provide you with will be more then enough to fight the BORG in your universe. You can use the Genesis torpedoes to establish colony’s, basis, shipyards, everything you will need. After you destroy the BORG in your universe, you can go back and retake earth. But the BORG cannot be allowed, to have a base of operations in your universe. If they do, it will be all over, and your universe will be in the same position as the rest of us, and you may never retake earth. We need a universe, were the BORG don’t exist, to help us, yours is the only one that’s in that position, and is technologically advanced enough for this. The survival of not just earth, but the entire universe is in your hands admiral. Are you really going to walk away, from a chance to not only help earth, but billions of other peoples, among hundreds of races, are you?”.
Kathryn looked at her senior officers. She knew she couldn’t walk away from this, there was to much at stake, and the Admiral was right. The BORG must be destroyed, either way, at one point or another there would be a war between the Federation and the BORG. “Alright, we will help you, but I want your promise, that we get to decide on how to fight, when to attack, and that after we destroy the BORG, we take back earth, is that clear!” she said firmly.
“I have no objections about that Captain. Or should I call you Admiral, since Starfleet did promote you?” Kathryn smiled. She did like the sound of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, and now she would be able to do something about it. She would be able to help Starfleet out, the federation, and get rid of the damned BORG.
“Then we have a deal, when do we get started?” Kathryn asked with a smile. The rest of the senior staff smiled as well, as they looked at each other.
The Triton dropped into slipstream, as it entered the Andromeda galaxy. She headed for New Hope, the new capital homeworld of the Galactic Federation formerly known as the United Federation of Planets.
CHAPTER NOTE: USS-TRISTAR- Somehwere in the chapter the tristart gets swtiched to the Triton lol. This is the same ship... sry lol.
Chapter Two
Uss-Tristar Bridge
The glow of the slipstream streaked by, as the Tristar made it's way back to Federation Territory. They were preparing to drop out of slipstream at the edge of the Sol Galaxy, to make the jump into Livda space.

It will take sometime before your Universe will be ready for this. One thing what I will tell you is, that one day the war will come to your universe, and you will have to be ready. We will provide with the starships, and technology. We also know that your Federation Alliance, is on it’s way to the Delta Quadrant, this will allow you to set up new basis and colonies in the Delta Quadrant, easier, to wage your war against the BORG.” She was about to continue when Janeway stood up.
“With all due respect Admiral, but we don’t have a home planet anymore, Earth, is now under the rule of the Dominion. The BORG, are not exactly, our concern right now, nor do we have the power to take them on.” She said bluntly. She had no intentions of raging a war against the BORG, when they had earth to get to, and to get the Dominion out of the Alpha Quadrant once and for all.
“Captain, compared to the BORG, the Dominion threat is nothing. What do you think will happen, when the BORG come to your universe, a flood of hundreds of thousands of BORG vessels pouring in. How long do you think, your earth will last then? Unfortunetely the BORG pose a bigger threat. The ships we will provide you with will be more then enough to fight the BORG in your universe. You can use the Genesis torpedoes to establish colony’s, basis, shipyards, everything you will need. After you destroy the BORG in your universe, you can go back and retake earth. But the BORG cannot be allowed, to have a base of operations in your universe. If they do, it will be all over, and your universe will be in the same position as the rest of us, and you may never retake earth. We need a universe, were the BORG don’t exist, to help us, yours is the only one that’s in that position, and is technologically advanced enough for this. The survival of not just earth, but the entire universe is in your hands admiral. Are you really going to walk away, from a chance to not only help earth, but billions of other peoples, among hundreds of races, are you?”.
Kathryn looked at her senior officers. She knew she couldn’t walk away from this, there was to much at stake, and the Admiral was right. The BORG must be destroyed, either way, at one point or another there would be a war between the Federation and the BORG. “Alright, we will help you, but I want your promise, that we get to decide on how to fight, when to attack, and that after we destroy the BORG, we take back earth, is that clear!” she said firmly.
“I have no objections about that Captain. Or should I call you Admiral, since Starfleet did promote you?” Kathryn smiled. She did like the sound of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, and now she would be able to do something about it. She would be able to help Starfleet out, the federation, and get rid of the damned BORG.
“Then we have a deal, when do we get started?” Kathryn asked with a smile. The rest of the senior staff smiled as well, as they looked at each other.
The Triton dropped into slipstream, as it entered the Andromeda galaxy. She headed for New Hope, the new capital homeworld of the Galactic Federation formerly known as the United Federation of Planets.

Whoa.
This is so confusing!
A Federation that exists as a super-power in 1931? Grand Admiral Picard in the 20th century?
Wasn't Jean Luc Picard born in the 23rd century?
2081, Earth was recovering from WW3 in Star Trek timeline?
Multi-universe Borg? Using Genesis torpedoes to create shipyards and bases and ships? I thought Gensis torpedoes were created to make artifical planets, and I thought Gensis planets turned out to be unstable?
Also, you make the Multi-Verse Federation sound like super-advanced people, even more so than the Star Wars Empire.
Hell, even the Empire can't travel between galaxies in mere hours or 10 years.
And the Empire would have no problem with the Borg. Just overwhelm the Borg with energy. Shields can only take a certain amount of energy resistance before it collapses.
I just have so many questions and a lot of stuff that I would like answered. I like a brand new Star Trek fiction as well as any good Star Wars fiction, but this one has pretty big premises.
I hope the story can live up to its huge premise of a multiple universe Federation.... AND a Borg Collective that spans galaxies and universes.

Yes, in universe M34, the Federation is a super power in the year 1931. I took a page from parellel universes, and a page out of time travel, and did some alterations. Because of the Ixius storyline, i decided to do something different. The fact is that time travel, and going back to the past, to change the future storylines have been overkilled. There is only so many stories that you can read about that. So i decided to do some alterations. In Ixius, universes exist independent of each other, they work sorta like timelines, that one event in one universe, does not have the same impact in the others. They are all different. Now I decided to make the timelines different, because the technological advancements between the universes, would never make any sense, if i left it the same timeline. And like some of the other fan fictions, I am not following the timeline of Star Trek.A Federation that exists as a super-power in 1931? Grand Admiral Picard in the 20th century?
In the Original(the one we all know) Star Trek universe, yes picard was born in the 24th century. July 13, 2305. However, in another universe he was born in 1931. See above question for explanation, as to the difference.Wasn't Jean Luc Picard born in the 23rd century?
Yes, once again, each universe is different.2081, Earth was recovering from WW3 in Star Trek timeline?
yes, the BORG, spanned multiple universes, until they were eventually defeated, by a race we will meet later in the story. Orignally yes, genesis torpedoes, were created to make planets, and the project failed at first. But sometime later, not sure when, the project was resurrected, as science and technology evolved. The project, became a success, and eventually the Starfleet corps of Engineers, modified the Genesis torpedo for a variety of uses.Multi-universe Borg? Using Genesis torpedoes to create shipyards and bases and ships? I thought Gensis torpedoes were created to make artifical planets, and I thought Gensis planets turned out to be unstable?
They are more advanced. It is not just a single universe working together, but 17, and over 400 galaxies. The resources of such an empire, allowed for great technological advancements.Also, you make the Multi-Verse Federation sound like super-advanced people, even more so than the Star Wars Empire.
As far as you know, they can't. But remember this is a fan fiction, story. Anything is possible.Hell, even the Empire can't travel between galaxies in mere hours or 10 years.
I do not remember including the Empire in Ixius... yet. So, what does your comparison have to do with Ixius, so far? Maybe if you explain, that i will be able to respond to your comment.And the Empire would have no problem with the Borg. Just overwhelm the Borg with energy. Shields can only take a certain amount of energy resistance before it collapses.
Like i said in the beginning, Ixius is very different fan fic then many others out there. Its six years in the works, and dozens of revisions to it. I have as far as i know come up with a storyline, that no one has done yet, that i am aware off. I could be wrong, though.I just have so many questions and a lot of stuff that I would like answered. I like a brand new Star Trek fiction as well as any good Star Wars fiction, but this one has pretty big premises.
Dont worry, by the time the third part of Ixius comes out, it will.I hope the story can live up to its huge premise of a multiple universe Federation.... AND a Borg Collective that spans galaxies and universes
General Notice to readers: Ixius is a very different story fan fic, its very large, spans many different reams, by the time Ixius: Shattered Empires end, one new realm will be added. The second part of Ixius: Title kept in secret , introduces 2 or 3 more. and the third part of Ixius: TItLE SECRET, introduces the final two realms, where everything is tied in. Ixius: Shattered Empires, sets the stage for parts two and three. I am looking at the possibility of doing a fourth part, which would tie up any loose ends, and show the results of everything that takes place in Ixius. But i have not decided on that yet. And thats a long way away, there are 20-25 chapters in Ixius: Shattered Empires. So i have a long way to go. By chapter 10, I will make a formal timeline, and explanation of everything. And then, there might even be a complete clean up, and repost of everything. What i am looking for the most is, feed back, like ive been getting, so that it lets me, know what i have to put in, what i have to explain more, and etc. So greatly appreciated for feed back that ive recieved so far.
Thank you

That's 30c... unless you change the numbers around to make light go faster in the story..... ROFL...at a speed approximetly 30 times that of the speed of light.
Other than that, it's nice.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I appreciate your clarifications, Cross.
I apologize if I came across a little harsh, but I'm trying to figure out this story.
30c? Heh. Traveling between galaxies in mere hours would be in excess of several billion c's.
Not to mention the conventional drives required to travel between star systems in seconds.
The Empire and Borg question...
I'll clarify that.
I was under the assumption that an ultra-advanced and gigantic universe and galaxy spanning empire or federation would have very powerful weapons.
The Star Wars Empire is based in one galaxy, while the Multi-Federation has 400. The resources in that alone, would be plenty to put into science and research weapons that could be several orders of magnitude greater than the Galatic Star Wars Empire.
The Empire has no problem overwhelming and kicking Borg arse, due to the differences in weaponary.
Think of this as an analogy.
The Borg weapons and shields are pea-shooters compared to the Galatic Empire, which is an nuclear bomb.
Then the Galactic Empire has pea-shooters while the Multi-Universe Federation has nukes.
Then the Multi-Universe Federation has trouble with the Borg, which means a sub-pea-shooter is giving a nuke trouble.
Also, with all the resources the Multi-Universe Federation has, it could develop planet killers, huge electromagentic pulses to shut down all Borg electronics, etc.
I concede that the Borg span galaxies and universes, and have more resources and technologies to asslimate, which provides better weapons and shields.
I shudder to think of a Borg that could give an ultra-empire several orders of magnitude over the Galatic Empire trouble.
Again, I'm trying to grasp this huge story premise, so please forgive me. As the story progresses, I'll come to understand the nuances and "how's", "when's" and "where's" of the story.
Please write more.
The criticism aside, I feel like it's a new refreshing perpsective to a new fanfic in the Star Trek universe.
If this pans out, it could be the 6th Star Trek series, but is not created or written by Brannon Braga.

Alright, I will try to answer your question, without giving to much of the storyline away.
But here :
Lets call the BORG in the m34 universe BORG-Y
and lets call the BORG in m174(the trek universe we are familiar with) BORG-X
In Ixius: Shattered Empires, we won't see to much, casualties on the side of the Federation. Because the technology they are brining back from M34 is far more advanced then the BORG-X. But never the less, I have no intentions of making the Federation invincible. So yes, in Ixius: Shattered Empires, the BORG-Xdo not stand a chance, as the Federation will only be fighting the BORG-X from this universe (m174).
However, The BORG-Y that the Multi-Verse Federation are fighting, have evolved as well, and have assimilated people, more and more people, and have expanded into other universes, in order to defeat the Multi-Verse Federation. So the BORG-Y are capable of destroying, Multi-Verse Federation starships, planets and etc, they are techonologically equal in some areas. Dont forget they have the resources of several universes as well. I have no intentions of making the BORG in general, powerless, compared to the Multi-Verse Federation. That would ruin half of my story lol.
Hehe, You never know...

Yes, like i said in the episode, i was major drugged up. I had my wisdom teeth pulled the day before, and i was heavily medicated for about two days, so i wasn't all there when i wrote the end of Chapter Two. So some of it doesn't make sense. I will go back and edit, as soon as i have a chance.30c? Heh. Traveling between galaxies in mere hours would be in excess of several billion c's.
Not to mention the conventional drives required to travel between star systems in seconds.
No, dont worry about it, you werent harsh at all. You got questions, and its great, because i need major feedback from it all. Because this is the first time that ive written this out. So, its almost like a test run.I appreciate your clarifications, Cross.
I apologize if I came across a little harsh, but I'm trying to figure out this story.
Hehe, don't worry, we will see the mighty power of the Empire, in Ixius.The Star Wars Empire is based in one galaxy, while the Multi-Federation has 400. The resources in that alone, would be plenty to put into science and research weapons that could be several orders of magnitude greater than the Galatic Star Wars Empire.

The Multi-Verse Federation, also has a Prime Directive, of sorts. And despite that the BORG maybe be BORG, the Multi-Verse Council, does not allow the slaughter of BORG planets, or ships, because they consider BORG drones as prisoners of the collective, and try to liberate them when they can. This has ofcourse made war efforts difficult.Also, with all the resources the Multi-Universe Federation has, it could develop planet killers, huge electromagentic pulses to shut down all Borg electronics, etc.

EDIT: Please don't take that as critism! your stories cool
Thanks a million for clearing stuff up, Cross.
I'd like to add one more feedback.
Could you split up your paragraphs? The ones in Chapter 1 and 2 are pretty long, and it makes it harder to read.
I have several suggestions how to split up the paragraphs to make it a lot easier to read.
Here goes..........
First, all dialogue should be treated as a paragraph per person speaking. For example:
Janeway said, "yadda yadda yadda"
Tuvok replied, "logic yadda"
Paris shouted, "course set!"
----------------------------
In your story, it went like this:
Janeway said "yadda yadda" and Tuvok replied "Logic yadda" then Paris shouted "Course set!"
A little confusing, eh?
-------------------------------------------
You should also split up paragraphs when new ideas come in. I'll use an excerpt from your story as an example of what a good paragraph usage would be like.
This is from Chapter 2.......
Your version:
Janeway, turned to them, in her seat, and she began to talk. “As you know already, you are not in your own Universe. You have been aware of the concept of Parallel universes, for sometime now I am sure. We designated your Universe, as M174. We also determined, that your universe is the mostly likely to accept the change, and the acceleration then the others. Mostly because of your unique situation, of the collapse of the Alpha Quadrant, and Beta Quadrant, powers. Unfortunetely, I cannot tell you everything. The Multi-Verse Prime Directive forbids me too. But your universe is very special, and you will realize that very soon. The Multi-Verse council has issued orders, to give your Universe technology from ours. We will provide each of your senior officers with a starship to command. We will also, give you technologies, that you can share with the Romulans, and Klingons. However, what you cannot due, is provide them with Federation technology. Although our technologies are similar, the Federation is ahead in most areas. The reason, we are giving you this, is mainly, because we are loosing the war. Let me give you a little history lesson. In the year, 1931 we first encountered the BORG. The entered, Federation territory, and began a mass invasion. Over the next 30 years, we fought with them, and at each battle at best, we drew them to a stalemate. In the final battle, known as the Battle of Earth, a mass fleet of ships appeared out of nowhere, and wiped out the BORG fleet, and pushed them back into the delta Quadrant. The leader was, Grand Admiral Picard, of the Imperial Federation of Planets. They provided us with ships, and technology, and we rebuilt the Federation. It wasn’t until 2098 that the BORG returned, and the returned in a fury. They swept through the Klingon and Romulan empires, like wild fire. Both Empires, were weakened, through a massive war between them. In a matter of 8 months, both were completed wiped out. For the next 40 years the Federation and the BORG were at war with each other, on the verge of our victory, the BORG fought back, we had no idea where the ships came from, and then the Imperial Federation showed up again. We joined their alliance against the BORG, and we’ve been fighting them ever since. You see Captain, until we met the Imperial Federation, we never knew anything about the BORG, and we just assumed that they were a species that originated in our universe just as any other, just as you think.” She looked at there eyes, they both shocked and intrigued. “Are you telling me, that the BORG are not native to each of our universes, and that they somehow managed to cross the universes, and establish a multi-verse empire?” Kathryn saw the smile on the Admiral face. “Very good, Captain, and yes you would be correct.” She stood up, and went to a display. “Meet the BORG” a picture of a Bi-ped species showed up, they looked humanoid. “Species 001, also knows as the Alesians. They were not different from us, a race of scholars, painters, had a large interstellar empire that spread 5 galaxies. But like any other race, they eventually came to a point of where they merged with machine. It was purely voluntary. However, as more people, joined, they came stronger. They called themselves the Thinkers. Eventually there numbers grew, and they began to make there own colonies, and eventually declared independence from the Alesian Empire. Since the Alesian’s saw no problem with this, they agreed, and gave up a part of there space, to allow the Thinkers to develop. They established a homeworld, and everything, but things went very bad at one point. The Thinkers wanted more, and more, and eventually, they didn’t give a choice to people, they just assimilated them into there species. We believe that around the same time, the Collective conscience was born, and the idea of a Queen. The thinkers, assimilated the Alesian Empire, and renamed themselves to the BORG. Over the next few million years, they expanded in there universe, assimilating any species they came across. Eventually they ran out, so they began to expand to other universes. However, they ran into a race that was equally as powerfull. A Massive war took place, for 460 million years, they fought between each other, entire universes devastated, from the war. We don’t know the name of the race, but what we do know, is that they some how managed to destroy the Inter-Universal Gates the BORG created, and erased all knowledge of there existence. However, some of the BORG on some universes, have gained that knowledge back, and began to expand. In this universe it was first an alliance between the rebuilt Federation, Romulan, and Klingon Empires. Eventually we gained more allies, and even Species 8472 joined our alliance against the BORG, after several incursions into fluidic space by the BORG.” She moved around the table. They were all curious. They wanted to know as much as possible, but what she was about to tell them, would probably shock them the most. She hasn’t told them, what there responsibility is.

The improved paragraph version would be:

Grand Admiral Janeway looked at the eyes of everybody from the M174 universe version of Voyager. The officers were both shocked and intrigued.
“Are you telling me, that the BORG are not native to each of our universes, and that they somehow managed to cross the universes, and establish a multi-verse empire?” Captain Janeway saw the smile on the Admiral face.
“Very good, Captain, and yes you would be correct.”
She stood up, and went to a display.
“Meet the BORG”, she said, as a picture of a Bi-ped species showed up. The species on display looked humanoid.
“Species 001, also known as the Alesians. They were not different from us, a race of scholars, painters, had a large interstellar empire that spread 5 galaxies. But like any other race, they eventually came to a point of where they merged with machine. It was purely voluntary.

The thinkers then assimilated the Alesian Empire, and renamed themselves to the BORG. Over the next few million years, they expanded in there universe, assimilating any species they came across. Eventually they ran out of space and species to assimilate, so they began to expand into other universes.
However, they ran into a race that was equally as powerful. A Massive war took place, for 460 million years. They fought between each other, causing destruction and devastation across entire universes.
We don’t know the name of the race, but what we do know, is that they some how managed to destroy the Inter-Universal Gates the BORG created, and erased all knowledge of their existence.
However, some of the BORG on some universes, have gained that knowledge back, and began to expand.

----------------------------------------------------
I took a liberty and did some editing, such as grammar, spelling, and sentence structure to make the "excerpt" much more interesting and easier to read.
I'm looking foward to more of your story. Write more!
I'd like to add one more feedback.

You should also split up paragraphs when new ideas come in. I'll use an excerpt from your story as an example of what a good paragraph usage would be like.
This is from Chapter 2.......
Your version:
Janeway, turned to them, in her seat, and she began to talk. “As you know already, you are not in your own Universe. You have been aware of the concept of Parallel universes, for sometime now I am sure. We designated your Universe, as M174. We also determined, that your universe is the mostly likely to accept the change, and the acceleration then the others. Mostly because of your unique situation, of the collapse of the Alpha Quadrant, and Beta Quadrant, powers. Unfortunetely, I cannot tell you everything. The Multi-Verse Prime Directive forbids me too. But your universe is very special, and you will realize that very soon. The Multi-Verse council has issued orders, to give your Universe technology from ours. We will provide each of your senior officers with a starship to command. We will also, give you technologies, that you can share with the Romulans, and Klingons. However, what you cannot due, is provide them with Federation technology. Although our technologies are similar, the Federation is ahead in most areas. The reason, we are giving you this, is mainly, because we are loosing the war. Let me give you a little history lesson. In the year, 1931 we first encountered the BORG. The entered, Federation territory, and began a mass invasion. Over the next 30 years, we fought with them, and at each battle at best, we drew them to a stalemate. In the final battle, known as the Battle of Earth, a mass fleet of ships appeared out of nowhere, and wiped out the BORG fleet, and pushed them back into the delta Quadrant. The leader was, Grand Admiral Picard, of the Imperial Federation of Planets. They provided us with ships, and technology, and we rebuilt the Federation. It wasn’t until 2098 that the BORG returned, and the returned in a fury. They swept through the Klingon and Romulan empires, like wild fire. Both Empires, were weakened, through a massive war between them. In a matter of 8 months, both were completed wiped out. For the next 40 years the Federation and the BORG were at war with each other, on the verge of our victory, the BORG fought back, we had no idea where the ships came from, and then the Imperial Federation showed up again. We joined their alliance against the BORG, and we’ve been fighting them ever since. You see Captain, until we met the Imperial Federation, we never knew anything about the BORG, and we just assumed that they were a species that originated in our universe just as any other, just as you think.” She looked at there eyes, they both shocked and intrigued. “Are you telling me, that the BORG are not native to each of our universes, and that they somehow managed to cross the universes, and establish a multi-verse empire?” Kathryn saw the smile on the Admiral face. “Very good, Captain, and yes you would be correct.” She stood up, and went to a display. “Meet the BORG” a picture of a Bi-ped species showed up, they looked humanoid. “Species 001, also knows as the Alesians. They were not different from us, a race of scholars, painters, had a large interstellar empire that spread 5 galaxies. But like any other race, they eventually came to a point of where they merged with machine. It was purely voluntary. However, as more people, joined, they came stronger. They called themselves the Thinkers. Eventually there numbers grew, and they began to make there own colonies, and eventually declared independence from the Alesian Empire. Since the Alesian’s saw no problem with this, they agreed, and gave up a part of there space, to allow the Thinkers to develop. They established a homeworld, and everything, but things went very bad at one point. The Thinkers wanted more, and more, and eventually, they didn’t give a choice to people, they just assimilated them into there species. We believe that around the same time, the Collective conscience was born, and the idea of a Queen. The thinkers, assimilated the Alesian Empire, and renamed themselves to the BORG. Over the next few million years, they expanded in there universe, assimilating any species they came across. Eventually they ran out, so they began to expand to other universes. However, they ran into a race that was equally as powerfull. A Massive war took place, for 460 million years, they fought between each other, entire universes devastated, from the war. We don’t know the name of the race, but what we do know, is that they some how managed to destroy the Inter-Universal Gates the BORG created, and erased all knowledge of there existence. However, some of the BORG on some universes, have gained that knowledge back, and began to expand. In this universe it was first an alliance between the rebuilt Federation, Romulan, and Klingon Empires. Eventually we gained more allies, and even Species 8472 joined our alliance against the BORG, after several incursions into fluidic space by the BORG.” She moved around the table. They were all curious. They wanted to know as much as possible, but what she was about to tell them, would probably shock them the most. She hasn’t told them, what there responsibility is.

The improved paragraph version would be:
Janeway, turned to them, in her seat, and she began to talk.
“As you know already, you are not in your own Universe. You have been aware of the concept of Parallel universes, for sometime now I am sure. We designated your Universe, as M174.

In the final battle, known as the Battle of Earth, a huge fleet of ships appeared out of nowhere, and wiped out the BORG fleet. Then they pushed the remants back into the Delta Quadrant.

Grand Admiral Janeway looked at the eyes of everybody from the M174 universe version of Voyager. The officers were both shocked and intrigued.
“Are you telling me, that the BORG are not native to each of our universes, and that they somehow managed to cross the universes, and establish a multi-verse empire?” Captain Janeway saw the smile on the Admiral face.
“Very good, Captain, and yes you would be correct.”
She stood up, and went to a display.
“Meet the BORG”, she said, as a picture of a Bi-ped species showed up. The species on display looked humanoid.
“Species 001, also known as the Alesians. They were not different from us, a race of scholars, painters, had a large interstellar empire that spread 5 galaxies. But like any other race, they eventually came to a point of where they merged with machine. It was purely voluntary.

The Thinkers wanted more, and more, and eventually, they didn’t give a choice to people, they just assimilated them into there species. We believe that around the same time, the Collective conscience was born, and the idea of a Queen.
The thinkers then assimilated the Alesian Empire, and renamed themselves to the BORG. Over the next few million years, they expanded in there universe, assimilating any species they came across. Eventually they ran out of space and species to assimilate, so they began to expand into other universes.
However, they ran into a race that was equally as powerful. A Massive war took place, for 460 million years. They fought between each other, causing destruction and devastation across entire universes.
We don’t know the name of the race, but what we do know, is that they some how managed to destroy the Inter-Universal Gates the BORG created, and erased all knowledge of their existence.
However, some of the BORG on some universes, have gained that knowledge back, and began to expand.
In this universe an alliance was first formed between the rebuilt Federation, Romulan, and Klingon Empires. Eventually we gained more allies. Even Species 8472 joined our alliance against the BORG, after several incursions into fluidic space by the BORG.”
Grand Admiral Janeway moved around the table. They were all curious. They wanted to know as much as possible, but what she was about to tell them, would probably shock them the most. She hasn’t told them, what their responsibility is.

I took a liberty and did some editing, such as grammar, spelling, and sentence structure to make the "excerpt" much more interesting and easier to read.
I'm looking foward to more of your story. Write more!

Chapter Three
Chapter Three is in the works. It will take me i figure a week or so, to write it up. It is going to be a longer chapter then the other ones, because i am combining orignal chapter three and four, and adding alot of things to it. Chapter three will wrap up, the story arc involving M34.
