Isn't it my understanding from previous Star Trek serieses that anytime someone disrupted the time line, a time police from the future would come to correct it?

Why didn't they come and correct Nero's damage? --ENG 20:58, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Because I doubt JJ Abrams even knew about them. From what I understand he's not a fan of the spin-offs, hence why he rebooted it. --Golden Monkey 21:00, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Why didn't they come in during any of the time travel episodes in The Original Series? Why not in "Time's Arrow" How about "Past Tense, Part I"? The vast vast vast majority of time travel from previous series saw no involvement of your so called "time police." They come along when the writers wanted them to, which is almost never. --OuroborosCobra talk 21:02, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
Besides, the impression given was that the original timeline still existed and that the nature of red-matter-black-hole-time-travel was that the alternate reality created coexisting with the original line... basically, the time police would have interfered if the timeline was being replaced, but it wasn't changed, it was diverged. -- Captain MKB 21:57, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
Fine, so there was a timeline "fork" - a split of the universe into a new alternate universe as soon as Nero came back to 2230. Now, and I'm kinda worried about this, Will Star Trek Online take place in the original timeline, or the Vulcanless timeline? --ENG 09:51, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
See their website. It's in the original. Sortof.
Please note that this is neither an STO support forum, nor a place for idle discussion. It is a place to get help if one doesn't know where exactly to look for some information. All the information we have about STO is in the article Star Trek Online. For more specific questions, a forum dedicated to that game might be a better place to ask. Thanks. -- sulfur 13:26, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
