After Lavos' defeat, the Gates close permanently, leaving the Epoch as the only known method of time-travel in existence. Lucca suggests that the group dismantle it. In certain game endings, Crono's mother chases his cat through Leene Square, jumping through the Gate just as it closes. Crono, Marle, and Lucca depart immediately for the Epoch and use it to chase her through time.

Background

The Epoch, also known as the Wings of Time, is a time-traveling vehicle from Chrono Trigger. First conceived of by Belthasar, the Guru of Reason, in the Kingdom of Zeal, the Epoch was actually constructed in the far future. A space-time warp in the Ocean Palace tore him away from his home era of Antiquity and deposited him in the post-apocalyptic future ruled by Lavos, sometime before in the year 2300 AD. He traveled to the long-abandoned Keeper's Dome in the south and set up a workshop.

Using the knowledge of time travel given to him by Gaspar, the Guru of Time, he began constructing a vehicle that could return him to his own time. He spent the rest of his life building it but died just prior to its completion. He left the rest up to his robotic assistant, upon whom he had imprinted his personality, to complete the vehicle's construction.

In the year 2300 AD, Crono and his companions arrive. They were sealed out of the Antiquity time period by Schala, who cast a barrier spell upon the time Gate there. With the princess' powerful magic blocking the only Gate to the era, the party's only way to return is by using the "Wings of Time," told to them by Gaspar. Belthasar, no longer having a use for the vehicle as his life had ended, gives them the Epoch, at which point Crono gives it its new moniker. The ship does not rely on pre-existing Gates to travel, and thus they are able to return and break the seal. The group uses the ship to return to the Antiquity, confronting Queen Zeal. After the awakening of Lavos and the fall of the Kingdom of Zeal, Crono's companions awaken in the last human village on Earth, Crono having died saving the rest of them from Lavos. The Elder of the village remarks that their ship also arrived on the shores of the village, as though it had followed them, surviving the massive tidal wave caused by Zeal's fall.

Shortly thereafter, Dalton appears and takes the group hostage and steals the Epoch. Dalton adds retractable wings, weapons, and other systems to the Epoch, intending to use it as his flying chariot and renaming it the Aero-Dalton Imperial.

Destroying the Blackbird, the party reacquires the now-flight-capable Epoch. Using it, they are able to take to the skies, accessing any place at any point in history. The Epoch's flight capabilities also enable them to reach the Black Omen, the floating fortress created from the remains of the Ocean Palace.

The battle with Lavos is also affected by the Epoch. If the group uses it to travel to the Day of Lavos, the outcome changes depending on whether or not it has been outfitted with wings. If it has not, the group disembarks and battles Lavos just the same had they arrived there via a Gate. If it has, the party will use it as a battering ram and slam the ship into Lavos. This destroys the Epoch but also damages Lavos so severely that the party can move directly to the battles within Lavos, instead of having to fight their way in.

After Lavos' defeat, the Gates close permanently, leaving the Epoch as the only known method of time-travel in existence. Lucca suggests that the group dismantle it. In certain game endings, Crono's mother chases his cat through Leene Square, jumping through the Gate just as it closes. Crono, Marle, and Lucca depart immediately for the Epoch and use it to chase her through time.

General Information

Name: Epoch, Wings of Time

Origin: Chrono Trigger

Age: Unknown (Created while Belthasar was trapped in the future)

Classification: Time Traveling Ship, Wings of Time

Users: Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Robo, Ayla, Magus

Terrain: Earth; though it can enter places outside the flow of time

Codex Statistics

Tier: High 6-A. Higher via ramming

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level (Should be comparable to the party including the likes of Crono, it's lasers destroyed the Black Bird. As it's comparable to Crono and co. it should also be comparable to them when they were able to harm and defeat Lavos whose awakening caused destruction to the entire planet, making a bleak future, which turned the sky black which relates to atmosphere destruction, which ranges from 10^26 joules to 10^29 joules depending on the type of atmosphere destruction). Higher via ramming (One-shotted Lavos' shell, though it destroyed itself in the process)

Durability: Multi-Continent level (Could withstand Lavos' destruction of Zeal)

Speed: Massively Hypersonic at regular speeds (Can travel around the earth in about 12 seconds), Faster Than Light at full speeds (Can travel through time through sheer speed, it is described to "transcend time")

Range: Hundreds of Meters with Energy Blast (Could fire a laser across the entirety of the black bird), Multiversal+ via traveling through time (Can travel across alternate timelines which there are infinite of)

Intelligence: Unknown (Is mentioned to have a heart and mind of it's own, meaning it has sentience)


Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Time Travel (Unlike the gate key that requires temporal anomalies to be stabilized, the Epoch can travel to any time period [even the end of time] without the need for gate keys), Flight (Noted as "Wings of Time" and Dalton configured it to be able to fly around even when not traveling through time), Energy Projection (Can shoot out energy beams), Explosion Manipulation (Caused massive explosions across the black bird).
Resistance to Time Manipulation (Transcends time, can enter the End of Time by itself with no effects)


Notable Techniques

  • Lasers: Dalton equips the Epoch with custom built in lasers that can cause massive amounts of explosions.
  • Transcend Time: The Epoch transcends time, traveling through different time periods and even the end of time.

Other

Weaknesses: It's full ramming speed results in it's destruction.
