Star Wars was about making money. Star Trek was........well, different, but keep in mind that all movies are about making money. They all don't, though. Some are spectacular flops.

Star Trek was "Wagon Train in the sky" according to Gene Roddenberry, the creator. It's actually more like "Grand Hotel", but with ray guns and aliens instead of socialites and roues.

Star Wars was "Hero of a Thousand Faces", something like "The Epic of Gilgamesh" or all those Heinlein juveniles, but also with ray guns and aliens instead of gods and goddesses or RAH writing himself into various characters.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

The two trains of thought I've seen speculating on the nature of the second star ship is that it's a) from the future, or b) from Section 31, which I gather is the Federation's black ops group. I don't really follow ST that closely, I'd never heard of Section 31 before:
