| + | '''Time vortex planet''' was an informal name for the [[planet]] where the [[Guardian of Forever]] was located. This planet had a [[Class M]] [[atmosphere]]. |
||
| + | The planet was littered with the ruins of a massive, forgotten city that stretched beyond the horizon in all directions around the Guardian. Based on initial observations, the ruins appeared to be at least one million years old, although the Guardian claimed to be at least five billion years old, predating the existence of the [[Sol system]]. |

Kirk]] and his [[science officer]] [[Spock]], accompanied by a team of historians. ({{TOS|The City on the Edge of Forever}}; {{TAS|Yesteryear}}) |
||
| − | {{bginfo|According to writers [[Judith Reeves-Stevens|Judith]] and [[Garfield Reeves-Stevens]] in a special features segment in [[ENT Season 4 DVD]], the establishment of the Andorian homeworld as a moon orbiting a gas giant was devised to help explain the contradiction of why it was sometimes called [[Andor]] and sometimes it was called Andoria. They explained that it could be both and that they had hoped to establish the gas giant as Andor and the moon as Andoria.}} |

In the [[reference works]], such as ''[[Star Trek Maps]]'' (page 30) and ''[[The Worlds of the Federation]]'' (page 136), the name "Time planet" was used.|In the originally aired version of "The City on the Edge of Forever", the time vortex planet, as viewed from space, was represented with stock footage. However, the same footage was used in many other TOS episodes. For the {{y|2006}} "remastered" version of "The City on the Edge of Forever", a new, computer-generated version of the planet was created to replace the stock footage.}} |

||
| + | In the novel ''[[Imzadi (novel)|Imzadi]]'', the time vortex planet is referred to in the [[25th century]] as "Forever World", since giving it anything other than such a Guardian-referencing name was felt to have been, in the words of one character, "''... like painting a mustache on the face of God.''" |

It has sixty-two moons, at least some of which are partially habitable. Some of the moons' [[atmosphere]]s were rich in [[selenium]] isotopes, which affected the [[sensor]] systems of the time. [[Commander]] [[Charles Tucker III|Tucker]]'s [[shuttlepod]] crash-landed on one of the moons when an [[Arkonian patrol ship]] fired on him. ({{ENT|Dawn}}) |

Upon arriving at the unnamed planet, they discovered it was not haunted, but was in fact a ship of [[hologram]]s (and two living people), that the [[Kantare supply ship]] had crashed on, about half way between [[Kantare (planet)|Kantare]] and their [[colony]] on [[Kotara Barath]].

The planet's [[atmosphere]] was capable of supporting [[humanoid]] life-forms. Planet had one [[moon]]. The planet was not too far from the edge of the [[Milky Way Galaxy]], being "within an hour" of the [[Galactic barrier|outer barrier]] - at Warp 11. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In that year, a [[Kelvan ship]] from the distant [[Andromeda Galaxy]] had crash-landed on this planet. Their multi-generational ship had taken only three Earth centuries to cross over from their endangered homeworld [[Kelva]], but could not come through our galaxy's [[Galactic barrier|energy barrier]] intact. The survivors, who had been born in transit and known no other environment, were forced to take shelter here. Sensing a Federation starship was near, they took [[Human]] form in anticipation of appropriating the vessel. But they were not yet human enough to feel comfortable in their surroundings. [[Rojan]] called it "''this accursed planet''" and his lieutenant [[Hanar]] said it was "''an undisciplined environment.''" On the other hand, [[Kelinda]] did find one of the planet's flowers to be like [[Sahsheer|a Kelvan crystal]] seen in the record banks of their lost intergalactic ship. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Kelvans transmitted a [[distress call]] which was picked up by the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701}}. A [[landing party]], led by [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk]], made first contact with the Kelvans who subsequently took them captive. After a failed escape attempt, which resulted in the death of [[Yeoman]] [[Leslie Thompson]], the Kelvans commandeered the ''Enterprise'' for a return trip to the Andromeda Galaxy. After Captain Kirk had convinced the Kelvan leader, [[Rojan]], to release the ship, the ''Enterprise'' returned to this planet with the hopes that Rojan and his people could establish a [[colony]] for their people.

His ship was incapable of removing the magnesite from beneath the planet's surface, so he requested the help of ''Enterprise''.

Revision as of 10:09, 25 January 2015
Time vortex planet was an informal name for the planet where the Guardian of Forever was located. This planet had a Class M atmosphere.
The planet was littered with the ruins of a massive, forgotten city that stretched beyond the horizon in all directions around the Guardian. Based on initial observations, the ruins appeared to be at least one million years old, although the Guardian claimed to be at least five billion years old, predating the existence of the Sol system.
The planet of the time vortex was discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2267 and was revisited in 2269 by Captain James T. Kirk and his science officer Spock, accompanied by a team of historians. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever"; TAS: "Yesteryear")
The name "Time vortex planet" was based on the term "the planet of the time vortex" used in "Yesteryear". In the reference works, such as Star Trek Maps (page 30) and The Worlds of the Federation (page 136), the name "Time planet" was used.
In the originally aired version of "The City on the Edge of Forever", the time vortex planet, as viewed from space, was represented with stock footage. However, the same footage was used in many other TOS episodes. For the 2006 "remastered" version of "The City on the Edge of Forever", a new, computer-generated version of the planet was created to replace the stock footage.
Apocrypha
The novelization of "Yesteryear" (in Star Trek Log 1) names a city on the time vortex planet as "Oyya."
In the novel Imzadi, the time vortex planet is referred to in the 25th century as "Forever World", since giving it anything other than such a Guardian-referencing name was felt to have been, in the words of one character, "... like painting a mustache on the face of God."
Other Pocket Books novels and Star Trek Online have called the time vortex planet "Gateway," a reference to the Guardian of Forever's final spoken line in "The City on the Edge of Forever", "Let me be your gateway."
