Right, here's the little scenario as I'm going to present it. It's got Trek, it's got Wars, but neither of them are allowed any access to any of their uber awesome technological methods of doing anything. Instead, it's a reliance on skill and ingenuity as the following six Trek/Wars characters face the afformentioned D&D adventure;
Luke Skywalker as of RotJ (no lightsabre, but is allowed the force and is assumed to have decent skill with a longsword, serves as a cleric - with Jedi healing talents, naturally - and diplomat).
Worf, son of Mogh, generic era (armed with his typical melee weapons, serves as a fighter).
James Kirk as of TOS: Arena (armed with a proper renaissance broadsword, serves as a fighter and diplomat).
Han Solo as of RotJ (armed with a set of daggers, serves as a rogue).
Chewbacca as of RotJ (armed with a big axe, serves as a fighter).
Data, generic era (armed with a spellbook containing spells up to fifth level and forced to learn it on the fly, serves as a mage).
Assume Data can learn to use most sorts of arcane magic, but also bear in mind that he's particularly vulnerable to spells that can warp and change the environment. A simple disintegrate spell would probably kill him in a split-second.
The EU for Star Wars is allowable, but it's not going to make much of a big difference in the area of technology. They also have to deal with a little tiny bit of rivalry; without actually directly engaging them violently, they have to defeat the plans of Irae T'sarren before the following characters beat them to it;
Drizzt Do'Urden
Harkle Harpell
Bruenor Battlehammer
Cadderly Bonaduce
Catti-brie
Artemis Entreri
