Titan's Turn was a maneuver performed in the space above Saturn's moon Titan. Officially the maneuver was discouraged by Starfleet due to the danger involved, but over the years a number of Starfleet shuttlecraft pilots have performed the maneuver.

| - Titan's turn was een gevaarlijke shuttle manoeuvre die soms uitgevoerd werd door piloten van de Jovian run. Zodra de shuttle bij het planetaire stelsel van Saturnus was aangekomen versnelde de piloot bijna rechtstreeks naar de maan Titan om daar vervolgens over de atmosfeer heen te scheren. Geordi La Forge en Edward Jellico voerden deze manoeuvre vaak uit tijdens hun dienst op de Jovian run. Door de grote risico's werd deze manoeuvre door Starfleet verboden.

- Titan's Turn was a dangerous shuttlecraft maneuver sometimes performed by Starfleet pilots on the Jovian Run. Upon entering the Saturnian system, the pilot would accelerate almost directly towards Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, and then grazing the moon's atmosphere before turning sharply around the limb of the moon at 0.7 c.

| - Titan's Turn was a dangerous shuttlecraft maneuver sometimes performed by Starfleet pilots on the Jovian Run. Upon entering the Saturnian system, the pilot would accelerate almost directly towards Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, and then grazing the moon's atmosphere before turning sharply around the limb of the moon at 0.7 c. Geordi La Forge and Edward Jellico were both experienced at performing Titan's Turn during their stints as pilots on the Jovian Run. When the former described the maneuver in his own words, Jellico added, "And pray like hell nobody saw you." La Forge also believed that William T. Riker was so skilled a pilot that he could perform the maneuver in his sleep. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part II" )

- Titan's Turn was a maneuver performed in the space above Saturn's moon Titan. Officially the maneuver was discouraged by Starfleet due to the danger involved, but over the years a number of Starfleet shuttlecraft pilots have performed the maneuver. The maneuver involved the pilot accelerating directly towards Titan, and brushing against the atmosphere. At the last minute the pilot would turn the ship away from Titan. As a result the shuttle would whip around the moon at .7 c. And as the maneuver was discouraged by Starfleet, pilots would often, as Edward Jellico put it, pray like mad that no one saw them performing the maneuver. (TNG episode: "Chain of Command, Part II").
