I think Teaos' and mine are the easiest to work with, though.

Chocolatestar? Never heard that before. How did she get Chocolatestar?

She's mildly dyslexic, and needs glasses. Chakatblackstar just sort of jumbled together for her, I guess.

Unfortunately, there are so few of us on here that are old enough to get that. But I'm one, and I love it.

Nice work, sock-it-to-me.

Sure thing, Mookey.

At least she didn't call hir "chocolate starfish."

Interestingly, one of my favorite baseball players as a young man was Mookie Wilson.

Is this another old joke I just don't get?

Umm... I'll PM you.

I know what I'd do for a ENT finale. The crew find this rift, ok. They go through it. In it, they find a whole nother galaxy, far far away, a long time ago. And then Darth Vader crushes the ship. The end.

The first part sounds like Grahams story "Portal"

Well, pretty much all ST V SW stories start with a Federation ship finding a wormhole to the GFFA.

There's Last Bastion, and Starcrossed, which happened the other way round, but strangely they seem to be the only examples. Wonder why?

It's slang for your a$$hole, also known as the darkstar in porn.

Wonder why?

Probably due to the participants involved. Out of the Empire and the Federation, who's more likely to go looking for strange wormholes and anomalies? The Feds. So, naturaly, the Feds would be the first to stumble across it.

Good point, but if there's only one wormhole entry point per galaxy (as in all versus fanfics I'm aware of), the Empire would be more likely to encounter it than the Feds due to their greater spread.

While they have greater speed, there's one difference:
The Federation goes looking for these anomalies. The Empire doesn't give a damn about them.
If the Empire knew in advance about the wormhole and set out to find it, then they'd certianly get there first. But in a situation where neither side knows about it, I'd give it to the Feds.

I'm not talking about speed, but the fact that the Empire spans a galaxy, while the Federation only spans a fraction of one quadrant - if a wormhole is equally likely to appear anywhere in the galaxy, the Feds would only have a small chance of it appearing in their territory, while for the Empire it would be almost certain.
