"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven" - Ecclesiastes 3.1

The year is 2475.

With the Milky Way Galaxy well explored by Starfleet, the time has come for the Federation to look farther to new frontiers. While a bulk portion of the fleet has moved to explore the Delta Quadrant and deal with the threats posed by the Hirogen Confederation, scientists in the heart of the Federation began to experiment with the nature of time itself.

It took almost fifty years for the Federation to construct a stable time travel device. The first thirteen devices were top secret projects that required large starbases to house. These projects were extremely dangerous, and scientists working on all of these devices disappeared with alarming frequency. However, by 2470, the Federation had managed to shrink what once occupied an entire starbase into a machine the size of a large transporter. At this point, the technology became impossible to contain.

Pandora's box is open, but Starfleet has a contingency plan.

Ecclesiastes Station is a state-of-the-art station built by the newly formed Starfleet Temporal Security Department to preserve and study the timeline. Built into the interior of a unique asteroid, Ecclesiastes station is the only known location in space shielded from temporal distortion waves. Should there be a change in the timeline, Ecclesiastes station is Starfleet's only hope of repairing the timeline before history is changed forever.
