A large sub-light colonisation force leaves the Jerjoye system after it becomes apparent that their home star is entering its terminal phase. Millions move below the planet's surface in an attempt to survive.

The USS Horizon NCC-1000 is lost with all hands in the Alpha Quadrant, having been accidentally transplanted through time by Edmundus Wednesday and Gilbert Gerundimor. The ship is not seen until the USS Horizon NCC-825002 discovers it adrift in the Cocoon on stardate 15.0416.

The senior crew of the USS Horizon NCC-1000 at the time of her disappearance are apparently as follows: CO Captain Stuart Mann, FO Commander Abi Seldon, OPS LtCmdr. D'Artaigne Storm, CMO LtCmdr. Electra Threin, armory officer Lt. Nathan Cady, CEO Lt. Stanley Mann, and CSciO Lt<jg> Lonu. It is unclear whether these individuals are the "real" crew, or simply a consequence of the severe temporal distortions the vessel experienced.

According to Stan the Man's confused memories in the 25th century, Stanley Mann's fiancee was Lt. Nicole Smits, and the USS Horizon NCC-1000 was once attacked by rogue Klingons. These events may have their parallels with events occurring in the future.

The philosopher Endymatri is almost killed by Andorian assassins. As an indirect result of this event, the Federation passes the Freedom of Culture Act, banning the governmental supression of civilian literature and art. Some of Endymatri's writings include the Theorem of Unified Esoterica, which continues to be studied into the 25th century. However, the philosopher remains exiled from Andorian society until his death.

Also, the earlier Endymatri assassination attempt causes offense to the Rigellians, almost leading to war between the peoples of Rigel and Alpha Centauri.
