TIME TRAVELING

Time traveling, voluntary or not, became a big issue in the 24th century in StarFleet life. To prepare people for this they have special training programs in Time traveling.

It started on Stardate 3113.2 when the Enterprise NCC-1701, lead by Captain James T. Kirk, was thrown back in time to 1969 Earth. This happened when they had an encounter with a black sun.

The same crew went back to 1930 to correct a mistake that a insane Dr. McCoy made. This journey was possible because of an alien device know as "The Guardian of Forever". Two more journey to the past were also made by the flagship.

Kirk went back a fourth time, years later, to 1986, this time to get a few whales. They were threatened by extinction and were transported safe to the 24th century.
