Temporal Cold War

On the television series Enterprise set in the Star Trek universe, the Temporal Cold War is a conflict waged throughout the 3rd and early 4th millennia C.E.

Factions in the war include:

Those in the 28th Century are intent on altering the timeline to their own ends. Humanity in the 31st Century is attempting to ascertain the identity of their adversaries and to thwart their efforts.

Interestingly, regarding Earth's historical Cold War, the namesake of this conflict, wikipedia states in part:

"A full-scale war never actually broke out, hence the metaphor of a "cold" war with a predilection for quashing armed conflicts to prevent a "hot" and escalating shooting war whenever possible. Indeed, a good show was made on both sides that the conflict was primarily about economic, philosophic, cultural, social, and political ideology."

These words appear to apply with equal merit to the TCW.
