Project Timepiece

Project Timepiece was a 23rd century Federation temporal research facility located on the planet Gateway. It was established after Captain James T. Kirk discovered an ancient temporal gateway on the planet.

In 2268 professor Daniels who was working at the facility discovered a much larger version of the gateway after a dam burst exposed the area. Security around the site was quickly increased and major workers were given clearence level alpha.

Several months later, Dr. McGregor and Commander Spock who was working on the project at the time detected a magnitute ten variation in the natural flow of time. It seemed the entire planet had been protected from changes in the timeline due to the unusual time ripples in the region. Captain Kirk and the USS Farragut was called to the project to help determine the cause of the changes in the timeline. Kirk, McCoy and Spock used the smaller gateway to travel to the year 2006 after following some unusual readings from that time. They discovered that when Commodore Decker detonated his shuttlecraft within the Planet Killer it sent him back to the year 1967. They recovered the microtapes from his shuttle and returned to 2268. There they discovered that when the USS Constellation was detonated within the Planet Killer it caused the weapon to not be destroyed but sent back in time to 2254 where it encountered and destroyed the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) thus causing the alternate timeline and the "Doomsday War".

Dr. McGregor then showed them the larger version of the gateway which they decide to use to send the entire ship back in time to correct the course of history. When they returned the timeline had been fully restored. The crew of the vessel and the workers of Project Timepiece were apparently the only ones aware of what had happened.

Vincent DeSalle would later discuss the events with Lieutenant Commander Sulu. (Star Trek: New Voyages "Center Seat").
