The Q Continuum

The Q Continuum embodies an omnipotent, godlike collective whose members possess limitless power and cosmic authority. It serves as the origin and source of the entity known as Q, who acts as a capricious antagonist challenging humanity and the USS Enterprise crew through existential trials and manipulations. This collective enforces cosmic wagers and moral tests, punishing defiance with harsh penalties such as banishment to a void-like penalty box. The Continuum's influence extends over the fabric of reality, offering and withdrawing godlike powers while fundamentally questioning human resilience, morality, and evolution.
