| - Like the majority of the Orbs, the Orb of Time was taken by the Cardassians during their occupation of Bajor. In 2373 the Detapa Council decided to return the Orb to the Bajorans and the USS Defiant was sent to collect it. They also picked up what they thought was a human stranded on Cardassia but was in fact a surgically alerted Klingon, Arne Darvin, who used the Orb to take the Defiant back in time hoping change the course of history by assassinating James T. Kirk to prevent him from foiling Darvin's operations in that timeframe. The crew of the Defiant were able to foil Darvin's plans before Kira Nerys was able to use the Orb to return to their own time. (DS9 episode: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
- In that year, the Cardassians, who were under siege by the Klingons at the time, contacted Starfleet with an offer to return the Orb. As the USS Defiant was transporting the Orb back to Bajor, Arne Darvin, a Klingon spy who had been surgically altered to appear Human, used it to transport the Defiant back in time to the year 2268, where he intended to change history by assassinating James Kirk. Captain Sisko and his crew, however, were able to foil Darvin's plot, while minimizing their participation in historical events. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
- During the Cardassian occupation of Bajor the orb was confiscated by the Cardassians and shipped off the planet. In 2373, the orb was returned to the Bajoran people. During transiting the orb back to Bajor the USS Defiant was sent back in time using the orb in an attempt to alter history. The plot was stopped and the orb was used to return the Defiant to the correct time. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations") In 2374, Kira Nerys used the orb to travel to 2346 in order to confirm Gul Dukat's claim that he and her mother were lovers.

In 2374, Major Kira, using her relationship with Captain Sisko, the Emissary of the Prophets, to gain access to the Orb, used it to travel back in time to 2346 and investigate Gul Dukat's claim that he had a relationship with Kira's mother, Meru. Upon learning that Dukat was telling the truth, and that her mother did indeed engage in a relationship with him, Kira attempted to change history by assassinating both Dukat and her mother. When she learned, however, that her mother was only staying with Dukat in order to secure her family's safety, she aborted the plan and saved Meru's and Dukat's life. Upon coming to terms with her mother's actions, she was returned to her proper place in time. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
