The OS20 Timeline was described as an "antimatter" universe, with a charge opposite that of the Prime Timeline. When Lazarus visited this reality from the Prime Timeline, he inadvertently caused a reaction that devastated the surface of both his homeworld and its counterpart, rendering them both lifeless. The only other survivor was his own counterpart, who went insane and began to chase Lazarus through time and space across both realities in an attempt to kill him. The dimensional rift linking the two realities began to destabilize, however, causing moments of "nonexistence" whenever the two Lazaruses traded places in each reality. To seal the rift and save both realities, Lazarus worked with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 to close the rift with both himself and his counterpart trapped in the negative magnetic corridor between realities, preventing them from further damaging their realities.[1]
