Changes: Gaia

Revision as of 01:14, 5 July 2015

AT: "xx"

Gaia was the uninhabited fourth planet in its star system. The system was located in the Gamma Quadrant. There were several major land masses and a wide variety of climatic and surface conditions, ranging from tundra to desert. The vast majority of the land surface was temperate or semi-temperate. The planet was encased in a quantum energy barrier, and this barrier was known to cause severe temporal displacement.

In 2373, the USS Defiant, after a weeklong reconnaissance mission in the quadrant, discovered this planet.

In an alternate timeline the planet was colonized in the 22nd century by the crew of the USS Defiant who had been transported through time. The ship crashed on the surface and was unable to send a distress call, as communications through the Bajoran wormhole were not possible at the time. By the 24th century, the planet had become an inhabited world with 8,000 Humans living in scattered settlements on a southern peninsula. This timeline was erased when the crew of the Defiant discovered their descendants, and the future version of Odo that existed in this time reprogrammed the ship's flight plan to avoid the accident, thus giving his other self another chance at love with Kira Nerys.

According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pgs. 70, 75), Gaia was the fourth planet in the Gaia system. The Gaia system was located in non-aligned space. This system was a binary star system. Primary was a Class K star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol. Secondary was a Class G star. This system was a destination on the Gamma Quadrant Bio-Survey (2369-75).

-==Summary==
-On [[stardate]] 50814.2, [[Jadzia Dax]] insists on investigating a planet in the [[Gamma Quadrant]]. Surrounded by a powerful [[temporal]] energy field, the crew of the ''Defiant'' discover their own descendants, and learn that in two days they would crash two hundred years in the past. When the ''Defiant'' goes through the field, they are [[hail]]ed by people that know them. They [[beam]] down to the planet and hear familiar names like Dax and O'Brien. They also hear how they traveled back in time and that the 8,000 people on the planet are their descendants. [[Chief]] [[Miles O'Brien|O'Brien]] can't believe he gave up on [[Keiko O'Brien|Keiko]] and [[Molly O'Brien|Molly]] to marry an [[ensign]] in [[engineering]].
-Dax's descendent, [[Yedrin Dax|Yedrin]], has a solution that will allow the ''Defiant'' to escape to take [[Kira Nerys|Kira]] to the medical facilities she needs on [[Deep Space 9]] and send their duplicates back in time to allow the 8,000 people to still live. Jadzia discovers that Yedrin faked the [[sensor]] readings so they would go back and allow the settlers to survive. A 200 year old [[Odo]] admits he loves Kira. Later, she decides her life isn't worth killing 8,000 people for and advocates purposely going back in time. Chief O'Brien also changes his mind. The crew eventually decides to go back in time, but the alternate timeline Odo changes the autopilot in order to save Kira, erasing the colony in the process. ([[DS9]]: "[[Children of Time]]")
