rdfs:comment
  • The temporal displacement policy was a series of guidelines instituted by Starfleet which obligated its officers to take no action which could alter the course of history if they were to travel through time. After having accidentally traveled back in time from 2371 to 2024, Julian Bashir expressed his dissatisfaction with the temporal displacement policy when informed by Commander Sisko that they could do nothing to help the hundreds of people who would be killed in the Bell Riots, which would occur in only three days time. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")

(DS9 episode: "Past Tense, Part I") After being sent forward in time to 2400, Bashir suggested to Worf that they follow the temporal displacement policy to the letter, with Worf taking point in negotiations due to his status as the highest-ranking officer present. Worf agreed and asked Captain T'len of the USS Augustus to help them return to 2374. (DS9 - Millennium novel: The War of the Prophets)
