Interplanetary colonization and warfare.
Interstellar civilization and economic competition.
The home periods of the Exaltationists and the Danellians.
Higher civilizations like that of Guion.
The Period of Oneness.
Observations And A Question
In the higher civilizations, the Time Patrol operates openly with public offices and can advertise for staff.
The Period of Oneness implies that the conflict which the Patrol regards as a perpetual aspect of human history is at last overcome.
Do the Danellians and the Patrol allow a period of extratemporal interventions and chaos to exist, as mentioned in "Time Patrol," or has that been deleted? (The question is whether such a period is necessary to lead to the Danellians.)

Kaor, Paul!
But the very existence of any kind of interstellar civilization should make human affairs so chaotic, complex, and unpredictable that the Time Patrol simply could not cope with it. I think it's significant we never see any stories of the Patrol acting on an interstellar scale.
Ad astra! Sean
