Time Command is a specialized crime fighting unit in the year 2169 that secretly undertakes missions traversing the space-time continuum in an attempt to keep the timeline safe from tampering or drastic changes. Its existence is a heavily guarded secret and few people are aware it even exists.

Time Command is lead by Commander Lockhart during this time frame, who sent the skilled agent Inspector Cross back in time to the 19th century to locate the rogue agent Sheridan Fox and the criminal Draven Ophidian. Time Command is also not above using otherwise unethical and illegal means to maintain peace, including flagrantly violating anti-cloning laws.
