Editing Mirror Universe

The [[Mirror Universe]] is a parallel universe that was first recorded as visited by James T. Kirk and several officers from the USS Enterprise in 2267. This parallel universe coexists with our universe on another dimensional plane. The universe was so named because many people and places seemed to be the exact opposites of their "normal" selves in "our" universe, but with numerous "good" aspects now "evil", and vice versa. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror") 

Although the universe as a whole has, as exhibited by the experiences of Lieutenant Worf, an infinite number of parallels, (TNG: "Parallels") the mirror universe appears to be somehow interconnected with the "standard universe" to the point of almost everyone from the standard universe having a counterpart in the mirror universe. This is despite the wildly divergent histories of the two, which would normally render the probability of the same individuals existing and being born on the same dates to the same parents throughout infinitesimally small. (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")
