*The Traveler is a humanoid from the planet of Tau Alpha C whose abilities include transcending normal space and traveling vast distances in little relative time. When the U.S.S. Enterprise first encountered the Traveler, he took the ship and its crew to a place where thought and reality were one. Weakened and dying, the Traveler was able to channel the empathic feelings of the crew in order to return the ship to normal space. The Traveler's race has only recently found the Federation worthy of study. Benevolent in nature, the Traveler came to Wesley Crusher's aid when a warp experiment failed and nearly killed his mother. *Source: Back of card
