Approximately 200,000 years ago, Q and the Continuum became interested in the race known as the [[Iconian|Iconians]], and shared with them enough secrets that they were able to create their legendary network of gateways. | Approximately 200,000 years ago, Q and the Continuum became interested in the race known as the [[Iconian|Iconians]], and shared with them enough secrets that they were able to create their legendary network of gateways. | ||

With the extreme age of the being known as Q, confirmation of any of the following history is impossible. It is based on accounts given by Q to various Starfleet officers such as Captains [[ma:Picard, Jean-Luc|Jean-Luc Picard]] and [[ma:Janeway, Kathryn|Kathryn Janeway]], Lt. Cmdr. [[ma:Data|Data]], Lt. [[ma:Paris, Tom|Tom Paris]], and Ensign [[ma:Kim, Harry|Harry Kim]]. However, it is important to remember that the people of the Gamma Quadrant world of Brax referred to Q as "the god of lies", and that anything he says is suspect. | |||

In 2366, Q was stripped of his omnipotence and immortality and transformed into a Human by the Q Continuum, as punishment for his irresponsibility. He sought refuge on the Enterprise, requesting asylum and protection from those beings in the universe whom he had tormented. Although Captain Picard and the rest of the crew were unconvinced of the sincerity of Q's plea (and indeed suspected that the entire situation was merely an elaborate prank), Picard agreed to provide Q temporary asylum. Although not a scientist, Q provided theoretical guidance for Geordi La Forge's analysis of Bre'el IV's moon, which was in danger of colliding with its planet of orbit. During this time, Data was assigned to watch Q, and Q gained an unusual perspective on Humanity and its condition from observing Data, in turn. However, after a Calamarain attack nearly destroyed Data (who risked his life to protect Q), Q resolved to leave on a shuttle, allowing the Calamarain to kill him and preventing further risk to the Enterprise crew. Another Q intervened at this point, acknowledged Q's selfless act and restored Q's powers as a reward. In gratitude, Q corrected the orbit of the moon and also gave a special gift to Data, his "professor of the Humanities" – a brief moment of genuine laughter. | In 2366, Q was stripped of his omnipotence and immortality and transformed into a Human by the Q Continuum, as punishment for his irresponsibility.
