The organization is an offshoot of a research project looking into temporal anomalies throughout known space. The organization was formed after research discovered the possibility that an unknown force was engaging in some kind of temporal warfare, altering past events. Research suggested that some entity or organization was making it difficult or impossible for them to make direct and drastic alterations in the past. Check the Solas Tempus category for related information.
Using refit space craft and a mix of time travel and temporal isolation technologies the group solidified into the organization Solas Tempus.
The group operates an advanced communications network known as BlueNet controlled by the sentient AI, HAL 9000.
- Home Location
- Markab Star System, Planet Markab Prime
- Motto
- Semper protegens, solus per tempus. (Always protecting, alone throughout time.)
Mission
The stated mission is to protect the past through intervention in attempts to alter it. There are a variety of other secondary missions dealing with operations that do not involve time travel such as research and development and political operations.
Strong evidence suggests that an unknown organization is attempting to manipulate the timeline through intermediaries local to the time period of Solas Tempus. Since there is no concrete information about this, a primary objective for Solas Tempus is to locate and gather intelligence on an organization that has been designated under Codename Onyx.
Economics
Most Federation worlds do not use currency, Solas Tempus also does not. For organization members are paid with resource credits that allow for management of resources, these credits are in addition to necessities of life such as food, shelter, clothing, etc.. Within the organization it is likely that any particular member who needs more resources within reason will get them.
Outside the organization money is still seldom used and trade of goods and services prevails as the primary method of getting parts, supplies, and fuel needed. Because of the well renowned skill at refitting and repairing ships and parts this is mostly what the group barters with. Most peaceful ships are allowed to utalize the Ronin Shipyards facility and work our a deal with the Engineering Arm for compensation.
Because of their good work Solas Tempus enjoys a well known good relationship with most worlds and organizations including the Federation and her allies.

Organizational Structure
Engineering Arm / Green Team
The engineering arm is responsible for building, maintaining, and equipping the organization. They specialize in refit of older space craft and technology.
Vessels
- USS Cinnamon (NCC-285)
- USS Sage (NCC-196)
Research Arm / Gold Team
Assigned with research primarily in the areas of time travel and temporal protection as well as detecting temporal incisions. They often team up with the Green Team and facilitate refit and redesign of surplus and other available technologies to suit the groups purposes.
Vessels
- SS Bartlett (NAR-572)
- SS Phantom (NAR-539)
Action Arm / Blue Team
This is the smallest arm of the organization and forms the leadership of the group. They are responsible for actually stopping or correcting temporal incisions.
Vessels
- USS Federation (NDT-521)
- USS Genesis (NAR-29)
- USS Rising Sun (NCC-465) (Lost in Action)
- USS Reed (NCC-491) (Decommissioned)
