Temporal Cold War

The Star Trek Expanded Universe Database is for fanon and related content. See Memory-Alpha.org for the canon Star Trek wiki.

The Temporal Cold War refers to conflict involving numerous time-traveling factions in various time periods, each attempting to alter history to its own benefit. Based on the quantum physics theory of multiple quantum realities, the manipulations of these factions may have created a potentially infinite number of alternate timelines, and the timeline considered "correct" is uncertain.

[edit] Fanon data

The Dominion War had become a battleground for the Temporal Cold War. During the Betreka Nebula counterstrikes, ships from the future emerged in the hope of influencing the battle in the Dominion's favor. These ships, however, could only exist in the past for a very limited amount of time. For that reason, this faction's most difficult tasks were carried out by 24th century proxy agents. A cohort of "Future Guy" communicated orders to Sindareen leader Tor Vot. Tor Vot revealed tactical information to the Dominion in return for access to valuable minerals believed to benefit the Sindareen economy. This included the Dominion invasion of Betazed.
