O HAI. Still working on my little project after a bit of an unwanted interruptus. Got previous stuff all wonderfully edited & the like (will post it when I'm ready to), but in the meantime I'm doing prep thinking about the follow-on articles to come. That being said, I've been wondering about what I call Starfleet's "special projects". I know the canonical ones & some fandom ones, but I know there's more out there & am looking for suggestions.
What do I mean by special projects? well, consider these:
Transwarp Drive Project
Genesis
Hamalki drive (from the TOS novel “The Wounded Sky”)
Omega & the Lantaru Sector Research Station
Interdimensional beaming (Elway Theorem, etc.)
Intergalactic manned ships (so-called “Galaxy Ships”, from Vonda MacIntyre)
Establishment of Department of Temporal Investigations & Temporal Prime Directive
Specifically, I'm looking for things between 2265 & 2285. Descriptions/links help.

So if the Dept. Temporal Investigations was started by a Starfleet officer from the future to prevent the future from interfering with the past...

You guys are useless. Am I really going to have to start a TrekBBS account for this? Ugh.

The latest Department of Temporal Investigations novel spins the story of a special project trying to create a dedicated time ship. They took the original warp drive, nacelles and all, from the original NCC-1701 during its refit and started running tests. They called the ship Timeship One. Later on, they got their hands on an abandoned Vedala planetoid and removed the displacement drive and plopped it into a ship, calling it Timeship Two. Lots of shenanigans ensued, the Vedala got pissed and confiscated everything and wiped everyone's minds and evidence. That is, until the ship popped up in 2383...
Arguably, one could count the whole Vanguard station mess to be a special project with much of it ending up classified.

The environmental damage done to Quonos from the explosion of Praxis. Repairing the damage would make a good project for the Federation to undertake following the Khitomer Accords.
