Time travel pod (26th century)

The 26th century time pod was a small craft, five meters in length, constructed of a plasticized tritanium mesh. Of unknown origin, this pod utilized time travel for field observation by 26th century historians.

One such historian used the pod to travel back in time to the 22nd century Earth, where he had the misfortune of running into Berlinghoff Rasmussen. Rasmussen stole the pod and used it to travel to the year 2368, where it was discovered by the Enterprise-D. His true intentions of stealing were ultimately revealed, however, and he was prevented from boarding the time pod before it returned to the 22nd century, stranding Rasmussen in the 24th century.

Now back in the 22nd century, Section 31 was able to retrieve the pod for themselves. Over the next two centuries they would attempt to strip the temporal device from the ship and re-construct it into a Temporal drive. In 2382, the Temporal drive was installed onto the USS Phoenix-X for a mission to travel to the future. Shortly after the mission, the drive was uninstalled and returned to Section 31.
