Examples of Centrum’s Intervention

Successful
interventions
by
Centrum include:
The atomic destruction of London
in the year 1902. The first and last time
Centrum attempted any such gross
attack. It became a political issue
among Centran leadership; the parties
responsible were removed from
power. Such extreme intervention is
not generally effective in any event –
the results are too unpredictable.
The execution of Princess Elizabeth
in 1554, before she ascended the throne.
Apparently, her sister Mary was influ-
enced against her.
The sinking of HMS Beagle with all
hands in early 1833. Charles Darwin
was among those lost. This timeline
did not “vanish” until late 1837,
though.
The sabotage of Yuri Gagarin’s space
capsule in 1960. This triggered a
round of witch-hunts and accusations
within the Russian space program
that eventually spilled over into the
Strategic Rocket Forces and danger-
ously weakened Khrushchev’s hold on
power. This instability in the Kremlin
may have contributed to the Cuba
Incident of 1962, in the aftermath of
which the U.S. and U.K. were able to
enforce U.N. control over Soviet mis-
sile and space programs. This world-
line migrated to Q8 shortly thereafter.
