Dan Vs. Star Wars- The Odds

The Director has a lot in common with both Dan and Vice Grip. Like Dan, she's a fan of quite a few 80s movies, Star Wars included. Like Vice Grip, she's also fascinated by technology from alternate dimensions, the dimension of Star Wars included. What neither of them know is the true purpose of the Stables, the massive underground bunkers built by Stable-Tec, is to build a gateway to these alternate dimensions to either allow ponies from Equestria to go there… or bring things from there to Equestria.

Vice Grip's company, Future Integrations merged with Stable-Tec to create FIST, a combination of both on advice from the Director herself. What the Director did not tell Vice was that she in fact owned Stable-Tec and had driven her own company into bankruptcy constructing the Stables and their transdimensional goals, among other projects. In truth, this had all been part of the Director's plan, a larger scheme which both Dan and Vice Grip fit themselves into. But unlike Vice Grip, the Director's goal for changing the world was one of love. After all, she's just a fan.

Each of the Stables were built to create doorways into different, alternate realities. They were named "Stable" for that purpose: to stabilize pathways to different dimensions. But despite the best efforts of the Director and groups of scientists she worked with, the best the Stables managed were temporary rifts between dimensions that were unstable at best. The goal was to produce a portal that things and eventually ponies and people could pass through. The best they could manage were large clouds of hyper-arcannic ionized vapor that appeared at seemingly random places in the target dimension acting as a dimensional trapdoor, allowing certain things to pass through but not back from.

The largest attempt to create a Stable Portal between Equestria and another dimension actually took place in the Star Wars dimension, at a time that was actually incredibly opportune for both. During the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, the Rebels attempted to relocate their base to the ice planet Hoth after losing Yavin 4. The Rebels chose to move a series of supply convoys through an area of space known as the Ison Corridor to conceal their movements. The convoys would meet up, travel through the corridor and then jump into hyperspace at the end of the corridor so that their trajectory could not be tracked.

Unfortunately, the Empire found out about this plan. Knowing that it would be near impossible to track their movements after the Rebels jumped, the Imperials decided to stage an ambush inside the Ison Corridor itself, waiting for the Rebels to approach and then attacking them. An entire fleet of Star Destroyers, TIE fighters and escort ships would lurk at the edge of the Ison Corridor, waiting for the Rebels to enter before springing the attack.

The surprise attack nearly worked and the Rebels would've lost several supply convoys had they all approached the Corridor at once. But when the first Rebel convoy arrived, the Imperials attacked it too soon rather than waiting to see if more Rebel ships jumped in. The Rebels, outnumbered and outmatched were forced to engage the Imperial Fleet in a ship-to-ship battle through the Ison Corridor. Many Rebel and Imperial starships were lost.

The battle continued through the Ison Corridor with the Rebels and Imperials trading blows in fierce combat. The Rebels knew they were outmatched but at the end of the Corridor was a nebula, a cloud of vapor they were planning on using to obscure their movements for the jump to Hoth. Seeing it as their only chance for survival, the Rebel convoy flew into the nebula, hoping it would provide them a tactical advantage. What they could not have predicted was where it would really take them.

The Imperials chased the Rebel starfighters, capital ships and transports into the nebula, intent on wiping them out. But when both groups entered the nebula, something very different happened. All the ships, crews and pilots disappeared. From their own dimension, at least. And into another one.

The Director's first Stable experiment, just outside the Crystal Empire, was a resounding success. Half of the Rebel convoy and a portion of the Imperial attack fleet had been transported to the dimension of Equestria and were carefully hidden behind the moon. She had made quite the catch: from the Rebels, she had acquired a Nebulon-B escort frigate(the Atonement, sister ship to the Redemption), three CR90 corvettes, three Gallofree-class transports, two squadrons of X-Wings, a squadron of Y-Wings and a squadron of A-Wings, pilots and crews alive and intact.

But from the Galactic Empire, the Director made off with quite a grand prize: a fully-armed, fully-crewed and fully-stocked Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Vengeance. She took the ship as her own, all of them, in fact and used her reality-bending powers to place all the Rebels and Imperials that had crewed them in stasis to use for whatever she decided to use them for. For whatever she wanted to use them for.

The next Rebel supply convoy, led by Luke Skywalker himself, arrived at the Ison Corridor just as the gateway between Equestria and the Star Wars dimension closed. Luke noticed the debris, making note that "Sensors don't show any sign of the second convoy. Looks like they ran into trouble." Despite more Imperials to arrive to ambush them, Luke, Wedge and the rest of the Rebels would fight off the Imperials and make the jump to Hoth after exiting the nebula. As not to alert the Imperials to their new base, the Rebels would not investigate the debris in the Ison Corridor and the Imperials, too eager to pursue the Rebels, would not return to check for survivors. Neither group would know the truth.

And so, elements from the Star Wars dimension had made their way into Equestria but rather than become wrapped up in a new conflict there, representatives and ships from both the Rebellion and the Empire would become attractions and little more than toys and trophies for a new and dark master known only as The Director.
