The Guardian of Forever appeared physically as an inert, crudely asymmetrical, circular gateway--a rough-hewn torus--comprised of a quasi-metallic substance that defied sensor analysis and was able to display the flow of time itself, even though it could not alter the "speed at which it displayed the past." It generated immense ripples in time that...

Apocrypha
In The Worlds Of The Federation, as in Alan Dean Foster's prose conversion of "Yesteryear", the Guardian's planet is designated as "The Time Planet."
