Where is the Guardian of Time

The Guardian seems to be unclaimable. It appears to have been around since the beginning of time and may well be here after the end of time.

Where is The Guardian? Anywhere that she/she or it decides to appear.

Just don't allow Donald Trump to ever find it...

It also wrote the very first song.
 
The Guardian was also the entity that first set cats and dogs against each other...
 
Where is the Guardian of Time? Out by the freeway, just past the gas station, turn left at the big tree, can't miss it.

That, or at my local hospital. I know because when my appendix burst, they ran me through it. I don't think I experienced any time-travel, although it did make me queasy. The doc claimed it was the dye I drank, but I know better ... it was the Guardian.
 
Section 31 has it now.
And they've been mucking about.
They just went back to 1998 and planted that OJ knife. Which just happens to go public while that mini-series is on.
 
Then again, the mission to Deneva was to check up why this colony had stayed quiet for a full year! Supposedly, then, it would be extremely difficult, time-consuming and unusual for anybody to travel to Deneva (despite this place having been an important commercial hub a century prior). If the Guardian is next door to this place, it could really be out in the sticks - but one wonders why it wasn't spotted back when this neighborhood was the center of attention.

Also, "Federation space" is Swiss cheese in many episodes: locations close to Earth are quite unknown to Federation science, and if they are claimed by the UFP, the claim hasn't been enforced by any physical flag-planting. The Guardian could be on Federation soil just like the Ba'ku planet is, formally annexed but never visited, and in such an inhospitable corner of space that no competing space power bothers to make a contrary claim. But the Guardian could just as well be rewriting history in self defense so that anybody arrogant enough to make a claim notices himself suddenly lacking a pedigree...

Denava was never said to be a commercial hub, there main claim to fame was mining asteroids.
 
The Guardian is on the massive pile of Stuff They Never Talk about, right next to the serum from "Plato's Stepchildren" which gives everyone telekinetic superpowers and would completely redefine humanity.
I suspect both planets would fall under General Order 7. I really want to do a video detailing what I think General Order 7 is about.
 
Surely The Guardian's planet would be more dangerous to an enemy of the Federation than Talos IV?

Wasn't there a fanfic story about the Federation guarding the planet of Forever with starships in orbit?

Have any of you seen ST: New Voyages "Mindsifter?" The Klingons try to get Kirk to answer that very question, where is the Guardian of Forever.
 
I read a fanfic story where Kirk used it to prevent David Marcus' death, as a result the Genesis device was used to help a planet which exploded due to dodgy protomatter and millions of people died. Every time Kirk went back to correct the wrong, more people kept dying. He had to accept that David's canon death had to stand.
That sounds very much like "Profile in Silver," an episode of the '80s version of The Twilight Zone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profile_in_Silver

Or alternately, Annorax's quixotic obsession to restore the colony on which he lived and where his wife perished.
