Tauron Time Tunnel

Generally with this Shadow Complex, is the Titanic Time Tunnel or Time Tube-a huge stationary Star Gateway into Temporal Space. Some of these were abandoned by the Taurons and used by other interstellar races, such as Terrans, with Project; Time Stalkers, Inc. to explore interstellar temporal space. Some Tauron Refugees have used the abandoned Time Tunnels to escape to distant colonies in the same universe or other alternate realities and set up small colonies there. These Taurons believe in a back to the ancient times, when the Taurons believe in the same peaceful interstellar intentions as their cousins the Atlanteans. Their goal is work toward rebuilt those fraction Tauron Civilizations, as far far beneficial interstellar civilizatiuon, than evil militaristic imperial Tauron Empire, they came from. While trying to create a more powerful telescope, the government found out that when using large amounts of energy they could create a window into the past. They called their invention "The Time Window". It is also capable of sending objects backwards in time. pod travels through a series of wormholes, she is separated briefly and can observe the outside environment

PROJECTTIMESTALKERSINC@googlegroups.com Takes the Guardian of Forever and mixes it with Star Gate SG1 and Irwin Allen’s Time Tunnel. Project Time Stalkers,Inc.is my version of various time travel and science fiction groups,anything from Star Trek's Guardian of Forever and ,Stargate-two concepts I like-one became a series and other could have but didn't,the Time Tunnel,which I likes as a kid,despite it's flaws-wooded characters,no sense of humor,didn't explore alternate realities,which was unknown the shows creators.

The Guardian of Forever is often under used concept. Star Trek only used it or once or twice-once in the Classic Star Trek series and once in the Animated series. and now in the so called unauthorized Star Trek New Voyages. If Trek wasn’t in love the basic format of exploring space and unknown civilization, a time traveling Star Trek would an interesting concept. I love the concept time has currents and eddies into the Time Vortex. Doctor Who uses this term and I believe mentioned time eddies or some such at some time in the shows long history on the BBC.

The Time Tunnel dragged on with totally boring storylines. Doug and Tony just became actually human beings-good actors, but they became lifeless expository characters, not human being traveling in time and space, but lifeless characters, whose dialogue was written to, drive the simple plotlines of the show. Doug Phillips and Tony Newman should have been less wooden characters and lifelike characters like you see in the other series mentioned here, which may explain one of the reasons the show, despite the concept of time travel, that has kept Doctor Who going 22 plus years.\

Star Gate SG1 is the only show; so far that explores both concepts effectively, as gateway into wormholes through hyperspace and sometimes time travel-though you can argue they travel in time every week when they use the Stargate from one planet to another. This is just the Star Ship Enterprise is a time machine, in it’s self always traveling forward and backward in time, when warps space each week, but we think of time travel as presented in shows the Time Tunnel or Doctor Who. The Tunnel of Project Tick Tock and The Doctor’s Tardis are thought as Time Machines as their first predecessor in H.G.Well’s novel is called The Time Machine. Quantum Leap was of course very similar in some ways to The Time Tunnel. In both series, a scientist attempts to prove the theories of time travel by launching himself off through an imperfected device after government funding is removed. Both of them are semi-monitored from their present time. But Quantum Leap was about character, while the Time Tunnels about keeping history as we know it, while keeping the dull Doug and Tony lost in time, in poorly written Fugitive premise. Everyone, but Doug and Tony, can travel to and from Project Tick Tock, but them-unless we can blame it all Merlin, who seem to total control secretly over hidden base. We begin wonder if the Time Tunnel just refuses to get them home or the operators of the Time Tunnel are just poorly trained and can’t aim the dam thing.

The “The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells all the way through, although already long familiar with the story from the Classics Illustrated version and from the George Pal movie. The book had a sort of dark romanticism all its own, None of the film adaptations I've seen has really captured the mood setting of the original by H. G. Wells, although the George Pal movie came the closest. and version with Guy Pierce works pretty well, but I don’t much the fact he destroys the Time Machine in the end. They could have along and allow us to think like Rod Taylor, the Time Traveler goes on to further Doctor Who like adventures with Weena at his side. And if you haven’t guessed it yet, Doctor Who is simply The Time Machine the series. It is no mistake Doctor Who’s true name is unknown like the Time Traveler-George is only Filby calls him, a nod to the author’s first name. And the Doctor meets up his Morlocks-the Dalek, phychotic blobby machine creatures simply replace savage, cannibalistic creatures of H.G.Well’s novel. From the book by H.G. Wells, a scientist and tinkered builds a time machine and uses it to explore the distant future where there are two races, a mild gentle race, and a cannibalistic one living underground. His machine is stolen by the underground race and he must risk being captured (and eaten) to return to his own time. Based on a story from the BBC TV serial "Doctor Who". Scientist Dr. Who accidentally activates his new invention, the Tardis, a time machine disguised as a police telephone box. Dr. Who, his two grand-daughters, and Barbara's boyfriend Ian are transported through time and space to the planet Skaro, where a peaceful race of Thals are under threat of nuclear attack from the planet's other inhabitants: the robotic mutant Daleks.Similar concept,just used differently.

Time Travel is a fascinating concept, but very often few people use effect. They draw back to tired clichés often over used by Hollywood writers and producers. Set history right and the space time continuum will shatter or be destroyed. History much be set upon it’s natural course, as we know it, not as our alternate selves might know it. That or it becomes total unbelievable nonsense like Sliders or dull ,boring adventures like in Time Tunnel or an often once and a while time travel gimmick like Star Treks Guardian of Forever or even Stargate gateway portal. Quantum was one of the few to use the concept weekly on a personal character story level. The rarely get the kind of space opera, as presented in Doctor Who and that gets not confusing as where, when and Doctor does what, but his stories can get sometime down silly in his 22 plus years on and off the air. Movie like Star Trek 4, the Voyage Home and Time After Time, where H.G.Wells chases Jack the Ripper into the 1980’s, often use the present or decade the movies filmed as a backdrop, to get traveler from other times here, than take to others as Doctor Who often does, and even the Doctor falls into the present Earth date and time trap. Hollyweird is often too pre occupied with the here and now, than later or other worlds, as like the people in the Matrix, there no time better than the one we live in.

I want to create a time travel show, that exists in a shared universe or shared multiverse want to project to have scope and size of Project Tick Tock, with scientist exploring the concept of time travel, with military backing those scientist with military force, like Stargate Command. I want to fantastic stories present in Star Trek and Doctor Who, with bickering family team of the Fantastic Four, trying to fight the forces of evil or conflicting crew of the Star Ship Enterprise, working together for a common goal. I want the alternate realities of Sliders, but with stupid worldline and I want the personal stories of Quantum Leap, with human character of Stargate, Star Trek and Star Wars, who be heroic but flawed as well. I also want the Godlike mysteriousness of the Guardian of Forever and not the mindless machine of the Time Tunnel.Like Challengers of the Unknown is a group of fictional characters in comic books published by DC Comics. Created or co-created by Jack Kirby (sources differ), this quartet of adventurers explored science fictional and apparent paranormal occurrences and faced fantastic menaces,the Project Time Stalkers stories had weird menaces, fistfights, wild vehicles and gadgets, spectacular terrain, daring escapes, and a sense of humor.

I may,via my Legion of Time Sorcerers,introduce the concept of a Doctor Who/Jedi Knight characters,that may intereact with various members of Project Time Stalkers. Project Time Stalkers have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family- they would squabble and hold grudges both deep and petty, and eschew anonymity or secret identities in favor of celebrity status.,while fighting the forces of evil and exploring strange ,new worlds and civilization,like the characters of Star Trek. A scientific genius –Richard Tony Vincent -a Reed Richards type leeds them,but often talks too much and annoys the others,especially his best friend and partner. His partner Doug Allen occasionally cigar-smoking –a Ben Grimm type is grumpy pilot and street wise brawler,but benevolent friend, who possesses superhuman strength and endurance,via his Omega Warrior training. While far from stupid,this Ben Grimm character-Doug Allen has a fairly animalistic form of intelligence which is almost exclusively militarily oriented, and prefers to skip over almost any scientific explanation of the team leader.The girl Christina Lambert-a Sue Storm/Richards type shy,but is the motherly heart of the group,but is also like Samantha Carter is smart as well beautiful.She is the quintessential geek: an expert and intuitively talented individual, whose mastery of advanced scientific disciplines is juxtaposed with her difficulties in leading a "normal" life. Her younger brother Marshall Johnathan Lambert-team security and member of the Terran Federation Rangers,attatched to the team,the hot headed and often bickers with the britush Ben Grimm type.Added is the mysteriuos fifth member-Doctor Nathaniel Wells-smart,synical ,who thinks the Reed Richards type dosen’t know what he is going and often dissagree his methads of Project Time Stalker Away Command.The sisth member is Sharon Wells- United World Space Force Intelligence agent and Doctor Wells red haide daughter and has a romantic feeling Marshall Johnathan Lambert.

The Stalkers venture to distant planets exploring the galaxy and searching for defenses from the Tauron Empire,who may or may have built the original alien underground complex,they base their Project and primary base of operation upon.Like Stargate,their maybe a network of other Temporal Stargates scattered all over time and space.Some of the members of the Legion of Time Sorcerers are the series villians and often create havok for the team,as they attempt travel around the time vortex and other times and other alternate realities.

[Edit] The series [edit] Summary

Project Tic-Toc is a top secret U.S. government effort to build an experimental time machine known as "the Time Tunnel." When the costs of the project approach those of the entire U.S. space program, a United States Senator Leroy Clark (Gary Merrill) launches an investigation of the project. The Senator feels that the tunnel has cost too much money for too little reward. At his request the Senator is allowed to visit the project base and be given a tour. Once he reaches the central control room the Senator explains his complaints to the project heads. The Senator then says that he wishes to close down the project as a waste of time and money that has not worked.

Key Time Tunnel scientist, young physicist, Dr. Tony Newman (James Darren) turns the machine on and sends himself back in time in an attempt to prove that the Time Tunnel project funds were not wasted. In so doing, Newman becomes "lost in time." The Time Tunnel top personnel can see through the Tunnel that Tony Newman is aboard the soon to sink Titanic. They can also see that he cannot escape before the sinking, and they cannot retrieve him.

In an attempt to rescue his younger friend, another key Tic-Toc scientist Dr. Doug Phillips (Robert Colbert) enters the Time Tunnel as well. However, the system was still being developed and tunnel operations were never able to bring them home. As the series progresses, the two time travelers are swung from one period in history to another, allowing episodes to be set in the past and future. Each episode begins with the following narration:

"Two American scientists are lost in the swirling maze of past and future ages, during the first experiments on America's greatest and most secret project, the Time Tunnel. Tony Newman and Doug Phillips now tumble helplessly toward a new fantastic adventure, somewhere along the infinite corridors of time."

By luck (or lack thereof) the travelers, Tony and Doug, frequently found themselves thrown onto the precipice of major historical events: on board the Titanic before it hits the iceberg, in Pearl Harbor before the Japanese attack, on Krakatoa before it erupts, and so forth. They would try to warn people about the event, or try to prevent it from happening, while the Time Tunnel crew (led by two scientists and a military general), who once gaining a "fix" can view through the Tunnel the action taking place in the different time, would try to rescue the travelers before the historical calamity befell them too. The final episode provides no resolution, as the series was initially scheduled to continue into a second season.

The series used a precursor to the Novikov self-consistency principle as its time travel model. Recorded history could not be altered because all attempts to do so were destined to fail. In other words: They will not change history because they haven't. However sometimes Doug and Tony’s actions were essential to cause history to unfold as recorded. The lives of individual people could be influenced by the actions of the travelers or the Time Tunnel scientists.

Tony Newman and Doug Philips

The base for Project Tic-Toc was huge and located underground in the Arizona desert, with no visible entry. The only way in was a very big secret panel that when it opened a car could quickly go through the entrance. Once the panel closed all any one could see was ordinary desert. Tic-Toc base was a futuristic series of complexes 800 floors deep and employing over 36,000 people ("12 thousand people in each of those complexes"). It was under the command of General Heywood Kirk (Whit Bissell). The center of the base was The Time Tunnel control room where the tunnel was located. In charge of operating the Tunnel were Dr. Ann McGregor (Lee Meriwether) and Dr. Raymond Swain (John Zaremba). The date at which it was operating was stated as 1968, which would have been two years into the future for the initial TV audience.[1]

TV.com summary

Sliders is an American science fiction television series that ran for five seasons from 1995 to 2000. The series focuses on a group of travellers who "slide" between parallel worlds by use of a wormhole referred to as an "Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge."

The first three seasons of Sliders were shown by the FOX Network. It was originally cancelled after the first season, which was broadcast from March 22, 1995 to May 17, 1995, but was brought back for a second season after much fan protest, from March 1, 1996 to July 12, 1996. A third season was broadcast from September 20, 1996 to May 16, 1997. The Sci Fi Channel produced the fourth season (June 8, 1998—April 23, 1999) and fifth season (from June 11, 1999—February 4, 2000), but announced in July 1999 that Sliders had been cancelled, and that there would not be a sixth season. The last new episode first aired on December 29, 1999 in the United Kingdom and finally aired on the Sci-Fi Channel on February 4, 2000.

Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a multiverse, although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that comprise physical reality. While the terms "parallel universe" and "alternative reality" are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term "alternative reality" that implies that the reality is a variant of our own. The term "parallel universe" is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship (or lack thereof) with our own universe.

Editors Notes;

Sliders chronicle the adventures of four "travellers" moving between parallel realities searching for the world they left. Sliders first appeared in the spring of 1995 on the FOX television network in the United States and soon was being shown all over the globe. The show recently ended it's third season, the first as a full season series and was summarily cancelled by FOX. Universal, the production company that films the series shopped the show to the SCI-FI Channel which picked up the series for 22 new episodes, in addition to the 48 already created, and started showing selected repeats in March 1998 and the new episodes bowed in June 1998. Four people just found a gateway to another dimension, but they forgot one problem... how to get back! Somehow Quinn Mallory we assume, did in the initial episode, unless the Professor and the rest of the cast comes another alternate universe and Quinn is the only from his original reality. This Fugitive plotline never worked for me and the whole, he makes in his basement –discover Slide technology by accident was always weak. If Quinn Mallory, Prof. Maximilian Arturo, Wade Welles, Rembrandt 'Crying Man' Brown and Capt. Maggie Beckett were members of something Time Tunnels Project Tick Tock or Stargate SG1,I might believe it more, but the writers and producers went the inventor in his secret lad and that never worked for me anyway right the start.

Sometimes Slider worked but often it didn’t.The series creators and writers should read the likes of Harry Turtledove or some such were the concept of Parallel universe or alternative reality is used more effectively,than what they ended up with. Alternate history or alternative history[1] is a subgenre of speculative fiction (or some would say science fiction) and historical fiction that is set in a world in which history has diverged from history as it is generally known.Slider simply came Alternate worlds or histories than simply were inpossible or improbable to believe. Common themes during this season include the exploration of political issues, and the appearances of recurring characters' alternate selves, showing how their situations had changed in various realities.Plots got more silly-silly as in Lost In Space silly and barrowed too from old Hollywood horror movie-such as Island of Doctor Monro

The Enterprise crew (TOS) in front of the Guardian of Forever.

The Guardian of Forever is a time portal portrayed in the fictional universe of Star Trek. The first appearance of the Guardian was in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" (1967). In that episode, the voice of the Guardian was provided by Bartell LaRue. The Guardian's only other on-screen appearance was in the animated episode "Yesteryear" (1973), in which the Guardian's voice was provided by James Doohan (best known as Scotty). The Guardian has proven popular in both fan fiction and the "official" Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books. However, none of these writings, nor the animated series, are considered canon.

In the Star Trek universe, analysis of the ruins on the Guardian's home world suggests it may be billions of years old but no one knows who built the Guardian. The Guardian is able to speak to anyone who asks it a question, though the meaning of its responses is not always clear. For instance, when asked if it was machine or being, it responded, "Both, ... and neither." When Spock says that there is no reason to speak in riddles, the Guardian says that it answers in the way that is best for "your limited understanding." The Guardian can detect changes in the timeline, but typically provides its users little help in figuring out how to change it back. And being in the vicinity of the Guardian when such changes occur isolates those there from the effects of the change in the timeline. Contents

The Guardian of Forever in 2267

"Are you machine, or being?"

"I am both... and neither. I am my own beginning, my own ending."

- Kirk questioning the Guardian (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")

The Guardian of Forever is a construct of an unknown, ancient alien race, that apparently functions as a time portal, or gateway to other times and dimensions, located on an ancient planet where the focus of all timelines in the galaxy converge. It is apparently sentient, responding to external stimulus such as questions and actions, and can even somehow control the flow of time. It generates immense ripples in time that manifest themselves as spatial disturbances in the region around the planet where it is located.

The Guardian is located among the ruins of a large, forgotten city that stretched beyond the horizon in all directions around it. Based on initial observations, the ruins appeared to be at least one million years old.

It should be noted that the Guardian claims to be on the order of at least five billion years old.

Capable of speaking to those around it, the Guardian explained that it is "its own beginning and its own ending," and that, "since before your sun (Sol) burned hot in space, [it had] awaited a question." Apparently an inert formation of quasi-metallic substance, the Guardian creates portals to other times.

The Guardian was discovered by the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2267. The Guardian's power was demonstrated when ship's doctor Leonard McCoy, suffering from the hallucinations induced by a cordrazine overdose, passed through the portal and into the past, where he inadvertently altered history. Captain James T. Kirk and his first officer, Spock, followed McCoy through the Guardian, and were ultimately successful in restoring (or preserving) the timeline. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")

The Guardian in 2269

In 2269, a team of historians, accompanied by Captain Kirk and Spock, used the Guardian to investigate Federation history. Their investigation included firsthand accounts of the formation of the Orion civilization and the monitoring of Vulcan history of the 2230s and 2240s. While Kirk and Spock were visiting Orion, their support team was monitoring Vulcan's past, which, in doing so, inadvertently removed Spock from the proper timeline. Spock, however, was protected from the change while he was in Orion's past, and the change to the timeline went unnoticed until he and Kirk returned through the Guardian. Once the cause was determined, Spock was able to use the Guardian to return to his own childhood on Vulcan, and prevent his death during the kahs-wan ritual. (TAS: "Yesteryear")

[edit] Images seen through the Guardian of Forever Get To Know The Guardian

by Anthony P, filed under Star Trek KvP Contest, Guardian

The Guardian of Forever was first seen in the Star Trek (TOS) episode “City on the Edge of Forever.” The first season episode was written by the famous sci-fi writer Harlan Ellison. Even though it is considered by many to be one of the best episodes (if not the best) of the entire franchise, it actually sparked a famous feud between Ellison and Gene Roddenberry over some of Rodenberry’s edits (more on that in a future blog post). The Guardian is a ‘portal through time and dimension’ that can take you anywhere you want to go. It was discovered by Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise on a desolate planet surrounded by time and space distortions. The planet itself has no name but is referred to as ‘The Guardian Planet’ (it has also been called the ‘Time Vortex Planet’ and ‘Forever Planet’). It’s origins and how it functions are unknown but its design are far beyond the capabilities and understanding of the Federation. The Guardian can speak (although cryptically) and told Mr. Spock that “your science knowledge is obviously primitive”…which of course got a patented eyebrow raise from the Vulcan science officer. On the question of if it is a machine or being it said “I am both; and neither. I am my own beginning, my own ending.” It essentially has two modes: it shows images from any time or place, and it allows you to travel to those different times and places. Get To Know The Guardian

The Time Machine

[1960, Movie]

This smashing science-fiction adaptation of H.G. Wells's famous novel has more creativity in every frame than most latter-day rip-offs have in their entirety. Rod Taylor plays George, an inventor who confounds his contemporaries in Victorian England by unveiling his new time machine. His friends think he's lost his mind, but after they leave, George takes off in his machine, whizzing through time but not through space. Therefore, all of his adventures take place in the same general area of England but at various points in history. He makes brief stops at both World Wars, the atomic confrontations of the future (1966 according to this film), and even as far ahead as the year 802,701. In this futuristic era, he finds humanity divided into two groups--the Eloi, normal-looking humans who live above ground, and the Morlocks, horrifying mutants who live beneath the ground. The Eloi are a vapid, incredibly passive lot, and George is stunned to learn that they are nothing more than cattle for the cannibalistic Morlocks. He falls in love with Weena (Yvette Mimieux), one of the Eloi, and sets out to help her people overcome their oppressors. Producer-director George Pal had already made quite a name for himself with his "Puppetoon" stop-motion animation techniques, and here he again delivers some amazing special effects.

Doctor Who***

Doctor Who is a long-running, award-winning British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a mysterious time-traveller known as "the Doctor" who travels in his space- and time-ship, the TARDIS, which appears from the exterior to be a blue police phone box. With his companions, he explores time and space, solving problems and righting wrongs.

The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world[1] and is also a significant part of British popular culture.[2][3][4] It has been recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget special effects during its original run, and pioneering use of electronic music (originally produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). In Britain and elsewhere, the show has become a cult television favourite and has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. It has received recognition from critics and the public as one of the finest British television programmes, including the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in 2006. THE TIME MACHINE FACTS

This is a remake of the 1960 film based upon the novel by H.G. Wells, which is about a man in the 1890s who builds a time machine that sends him farther and farther into the future. Eventually he finds himself 800,000 years away, and two races inhabit the Earth: the Eloi, who are calm, fun-loving creatures, and the Morlocks, hideous underground monsters who come out at night to kidnap the Eloi.

The Fantastic Four (also known as Fantastic 4) is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (Nov. 1961), which helped to usher in a new naturalism in the medium. They were the first superhero team created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby.

There are four core individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space. Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) is a scientific genius and the leader of the group who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes. The Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm) is Reed's wife; she can render herself invisible and project powerful force fields. The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) is Sue's younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly. The final member is the monster-like Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, who possesses superhuman strength and endurance. Since the original four's 1961 introduction, the Fantastic Four have been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional yet loving family. Breaking convention with other comic-book archetypes of the time, they would squabble and hold grudges both deep and petty, and eschew anonymity or secret identities in favor of celebrity status.

The Fantastic Four have been adapted into other media, including four animated television series, an aborted 1990s low-budget film, the major motion picture Fantastic Four (2005), and its sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

Project Time Stalkers,Inc.is unofficial intelligence and defense organization.top-secret military and scientific investigation organization under NORAD, based at the Kronos Mountain Air Force Station near Colorado Springs, Colorado .Stargate Command, codenamed "Area 52", is tasked with operating the alien and abondoned Tauron Stargate on Earth and coordinates exploration and diplomatic relationships through the Stargateway network,scattered all over temporal space.It has over 12000 personal,within each complex .Project Time Stalkers,Incthat,is 800 floors deep,location.base was a futuristic series of complexes 800 floors deep and employing over 36,000 people ("12 thousand people in each of those complexes"). It was under the command of General Harrison Grellwell. The center of the base was The Time Gate or Temporal Stargate control room where the tunnel was located. In charge of operating the Tunnel were Dr. John McGregor and Dr. Raymond Wells. The Shadow Coplex is vast cube-shaped underground Tauron installation,mixed several New Genisis Bunkers 20 miles on a side and powered by 9,200 thermonuclear reactors, which has been operating and self-repairing itself since the beginning of it's operation,through various occupations by the Taurons and Tykhon ,and finally the Terrans,who took over the base after the Taurons and Tykhon were forced by Terran and Temporal Agents,such as The Legion of Time Sorcerers and Temporal Guardian intervention ages ago. Project Time Stalkers immense underground machine complex. This complex is powered by the planet's core, and is self-repairing.New Genisis Bunkers-used by the Tauron Empire,the Atlanteans,plus other Elder Races in the Multiverse..

The Tauron Empire, like their cousin race, the Atlanteans have known to build Great Titanic Machines, some the 8,000 cubic mile (33,000 km³), that are built for various uses. Sometimes they are stored or located with a New Genesis Bunkers, that was created for the purpose of providing shelter in case of some sort of planetwide disaster or cataclysm, complete with massive holo libraries full isolinear data tapes, teaching helmets, hangar garages-complete with various vehicles-star ships, smart speeder bikes or Spikes, hover speeder cars, purpose to preserving the culture until it can either re Terraformed for habitation and recolonization or relocation again underground complexes.or New Genisis Bunkers, some of various sizes ,some the size of Star Palace star ships, while others as big as Super Star Castles are often hidden and only found by above surface marker or monolith structures. Others can located with huge above surface Crystal Towers or City Scapes marking underground complexes. Often a New Genisis Bunker is guarded by a Holo Demon of some sort to prevent unwanted alien archeologist and anthropologist from discovering the Tauron Empires secrets. New Genisis Bunkers often are also the location of one those huge machine laboratories-a Shadow Complex –a vast network of many various machine labs and smaller tech complexes. a conduit for energy. To get an idea of the cavern's size, the brown platform is a walkway, slightly wider than a catwalk This is an underground transport vehicle, sort of like a subway or monorail. It was used by Krell engineers while building this space, and is used by humans to explore it. Long-term research of alien technology is usually moved from .These offworld teams usually operate as teams of four to seven, although that is not a requirement.Earth's efforts to construct starships of its own using reverse-engineered alien technology begin in the is a civilian oversight committee, created after the United States and Russia revealed the existence of the Project Time Stalkers,Inc Program.

International agreements The United States, by virtue of its control of the Project Time Stalkers,Inc Stargate, is largely responsible for Earth's interstellar policy in the Project Time Stalkers,Inc. franchise. More nations gradually come to take part in its use. Originally,the Terran interstellar space probram was called Nasa through much of the 21th and 21st Century,but after the Terran/Kaladon Wars,on the Terran homeworld-it became known as the United World Space Agency-who served as the command structure,for a combined military/exploration operation-also known as the United World Space Service.The UWSA,also became known conventional as the United World Star Service or Star Fleet,to most people,since the UWSA United World Space Agency  and United World Space Service,was rarely used other official documents and star craft or personell insignia,such decals of space ships and patches on uniforms.Most people simply called the agency or service-the United World Star Service or Star Fleet,so those in time simply stuck as usage by most people.Branches of the United World Space Agency were often known as the United World Spacefleet Command ,who co-ordinated all military and human exploration operations and United  World Space Probe Agency,which who co-ordinated all military robotic and automoniton space probe research. Earth founded a few colonies in nearby star systems ,under the Sleeper Ship Space Program and established trade routes with a few near by colonial worlds,under the flegling Terran Trade Federation program.Most of the Star Fleet operations,in the mid or late 21st Century was within the Terran Solar System.Much of this time was spent launching interstellar robot probes into the unknown regions of space and sending out various large space craft of 300 or 400 crew members in deep space suspended animation tubes,under the Star Services Sleeper Ship Program to colonize other near by worlds.The United World Star Service works closely with the members and operations of Project Time Stalkers,Inc,in that it is Earth's First and finest Deep Space Defense and Interstellar Exploration Program.Project often not employs various military and scientifically trained personell,but other dangerous and often nessessary professions such skin divers, test pilots, acrobats, mountain climbers, boxers, electronics and forgery experts,actor and disguise expert and other adventurers,to help the Project in various top secret undercover operation,throughout time and space.Many missions of Project Time Stalkers,Inc used one-time agents that were brought in as guest stars. Often, these agents were brought in for a specific skill, such as a pathologist, a psychic medium or a contortionist.a small team of secret agents used for covert missions against dictators, evil organizations, and (primarily in later episodes) crime lords of various places of temporal importance.. On occasion, the IMF also mounts unsanctioned, private missions on behalf of its members. Terran Starfleet Intelligence

Terran Starfleet Intelligence is an intelligence agency of the United World Space Command.It is entrusted with foreign and domestic espionage, counter-espionage, and state security.It is presented as a special security operation, manned by United World citizens, that is not subject to the normal constraints of Starfleet ethical protocols.

The last line of defense for the Project Time Stalkers,Inc. is an off-world base called the Alpha Temporus, initially established as a settlement to evacuate a select number of the academic elite of the United States to in case of Tauron or Tykhon invasion. Area 51 is a top-secret military facility at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada that serves as an alternate research site for the main Project Time Stalkers,Inc.

Command structure The Stalkers,Inc. base is typically commanded by a General and is staffed by subject matter experts and military support personnel, several elite special operations teams, and several Stalkers Inc. teams, including Stalkers ,Inc. Stalkers,Inc. Command started out with Stalkers Inc. teams; at the time of, there The central plot device of the programs is an ancient transportation network consisting of the ring-shaped devices known as a Temporal Stargate,located as a series of rings,within the Time Tunnel portal thr which generate artificial wormholes that allow one-way matter transmission and two-way radio communication between gates when the correct spatial coordinates are "dialed".it is explained that a stargate's destination is not fixed, but is singled out by a process known as "dialing". Once a destination is selected by the traveler, the stargate generates a wormhole between itself and a complementary device at the destination, by being supplied with a threshold amount of raw energy. Once an address is dialed, the gate is said to have created a "stable wormhole" between itself and the gate dialed,usually by either a Time Sorcerers Grimoire,a hand remote Timers or some other devive such as .Passage through a Stargate's wormhole is depicted as a visual effect of shooting through a tunnel in space,

* The Stargate Tunnel can be found to create a wormhole that allows travel not between distant points but between different parallel universes; objects or people that travel through the wormhole begin and end in the same location geographically,if desired. .   * Energy to maintain an established wormhole can come from either side, though the energy to form a wormhole can only come from the dialing stargate. * Substantial gravitational force can pass through a wormhole from either side. (i.e. the effects of a Black Hole). * Outgoing wormholes can be affected by exterior gravitational and electromagnetic forces, causing them to connect to stargates other than their intended targets. * When traveling from one gate to another, exterior forces such as solar flares can cause the wormhole to connect to a stargate in another time period. In this case, the wormhole will then sometimes, under some unknown circumstances, connect to the source stargate. * Matter can only travel one way but weak energy such as radio communication can travel both ways through a stargate. This can be explained by the hypothesis that the diameter of the wormhole is very small, possibly microscopic in size. Energy would have no problem passing through on its own but matter would need to be converted into energy and then re integrated at the other side. * Artificial wormholes created by stargates can only stay open for up to 38 minutes without an extremely powerful energy source powering the dialing gate. Such as "an infinite amount of ZPMs or a Black Hole.''.   * Wormholes are also possible without the use of a stargate as demonstrated in the Stargate Atlantis finale Enemy at the Gate, however it is not gone into depth how this is possible or what limitations there are to this technology. The Ancient city-ship Atlantis used this method of wormhole travel to travel from the outside edge of the Milky Way galaxy to Earth in just a few seconds.    * Jump points are artificial wormholes that serve as entrances and exits to hyperspace, allowing for faster-than-light travel. Jump points can either be created by larger ships (battleships, destroyers, etc.) or by standalone Jump Gates. The more energy used to create the wormhole, the larger the opening will be, so the stand-alone gates are used for heavily used, predetermined, interstellar traffic routes, while engines on ships serve as a means of travel just for the ship that creates it.

There are olso a Third much Larger Temporal Stargate or Supergate -used,often located within deep space or orbitting a planet much larger than the first,smaller Temporal Stargate through which a starship can fly. Dialing Each location served by a stargate has its own unique "address", which is a combination of seven or more non-repeating symbols appearing on the dialing stargate. By "dialing" these symbols in the correct order,located within the Randarian Temporal Navigational Computers or Nav Com,for shortthe traveler selects a destination. However, for some reason not fully explained, the water-like event horizon breaks down the matter into energy for transport through the wormhole, restoring it into its original state at the destination. This is presumably because in the Stargate films, only other forms of energy can travel through the wormholes, which would also be why electromagnetic energy can travel both ways — it doesn't have to be convertemuch larger than the first, through which a starship can fly.

Magnus 9000 is one of most advanced types of Artificial Intelligences ,in the known Multiverse.Project Time Stalkers,Inc.research teams analysis of the ruins on the Temporal Warpgate and it's many home world counterparts suggests it may be billions of years old but no one knows who built Magnus.Magnus 9000is able to speak to anyone who asks it a question, though the meaning of its responses is not always clear. Magnus 9000 says that it answers in the way that is best for "your limited understanding.",although some members of Project Time Stalkers,Inc.believe that the AI is witholding imformation vital to their mission,for some unknown god like reason,such as prevent accidental temporal contaimination or breaking of the Laws of Time and Space. Magnus 9000 can detect changes in the timeline, but typically provides its users little help in figuring out how to change it back. And being in the vicinity of the Magnus 9000 when such changes occur isolates those there from the effects of the change in the timeline. Basic Project Time Stalkers,Inc.Equiptment; It is a miniaturised computer that can be worn on the wrist. The computer is programmed with an artificial intelligence. These computers are capable of a variety of actions. Mostly they are used to tell the time, give advice to the wearer, and can also record and play holograms. The companions worn by children also teach manners to the wearer as they will not comply with commands if there is any insincerity in the voice, and only respond when asked politely.

The Imaging Chamber is Sam's means of communication with the project during his travels. From Al's perspective, the Imaging Chamber is a large, cavernous room that takes the form of Sam's surroundings. The time vortex (sometimes called the space-time vortex) is the medium that the TARD and other time machines travel through.It can be assumed it is some sort of Temporalwormhole,used by the Tardis,to travel in time and space.The vortex is outside normal spacetime, and therefore normal rules of physics do not apply.
