Background
Originally the idea of Joseph Gatch author of the fanfic Star Trek: Adventure to have a crossover involving as many fan fiction series as possible. Based on a storyline by Jon Wasik of Star Trek: Dragon that involved an enemy, the Vendoth, from another galaxy and time attacking Earth. It was split into two parts. The first part involved individual stories involving the Vendoth across time and space, which could be done because the nature in which they travelled from there galaxy to the Milky Way was temporal in nature. The second part, which was the centre piece, was to have multiple authors write about the same event from the perspective of their crews, the Vendoth attack on Earth.

9 different fanfic series were involved in part one. 5 of these 9 series also contributed to part two. They were Star Trek: Adventure, Excalibur Epics, Providence, The Legend Continues and Swiftfire. Excalibar, Adventure and Dragon also did follow up stories on the aftermath of the battle.

The Vendoth
The Vendoth are the villians of the series. From the distant Kalium galaxy they are a tyrannical race. Split into two castes, the warrior or "Ven" and the scientists or "Doths" they rule over a large section of their home galaxy. Firm believers in an eye for an eye.
