Time travel was the act of traveling through time. On Stardate 1705.0, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 accidentally traveled through time three days into the past by forcing a cold-restart of the ship's warp engines while orbiting Psi 2000, which was undergoing enormous changes in its mass and gravity.[1] On Stardate 3113.2, the Enterprise was en route to Starbase 9 when it encountered an uncharted black star. The singularity's high gravity required the ship to use all of its power to escape, inadvertently throwing the ship into a time warp that deposited it in 1969. The ship was able to reproduce this effect,[2] dubbed the lightspeed breakaway method,[3] in order to return to 2267. A year later, the ship's crew would utilize this method again to travel to 1968 in order to conduct historical research.[3]
