T'Ket simulacrum with the World Heart in 2411.
The World Heart was an ancient artifact created by the Iconian species countless thousands of years ago. It contains all information about the Iconian race, such as genetic information from all species of their homeworld Iconia and their colony worlds and all the species' culture, history and philosophy.

History[]
200,000 years ago[]
Thousands of years ago, the Iconian Empire was attacked by an alliance of rebelling races, resulting in their homeworld's orbital bombardment. During the first moments of the invasion, a group of time travelers arrived in Iconia 2 hours before the orbital bombardment. With their assistance, twelve Iconians were able to retrieve the World Heart and reach a gateway, intending to escape to Dewa III. As the Iconians cross the portal, however, one of these travelers betrayed them, killing two Iconians and crippling another one. To avenge that treachery, one of the Iconians swore that would extinguish the traitor's race, but not before the same stole the World Heart. This traitor was nobody else than former Empress Sela of the Romulan Star Empire. Realizing that her actions were the true cause for the destruction of her homeworld, she takes the World Heart back to their present time, so they can return the artifact to their owners.(STO - Iconian War mission: "Midnight")
25th century[]
As the travelers return to their own time, in the middle of the decisive battle, they hail the Iconian flagship and return the World Heart. Realizing that these travelers were actually the Others, the ones who saved them in their darkest hour, the Iconians stand down, thus ending the war. The World Heart was brought to Iconia where the Iconians would begin the reconstruction of their once peaceful and mighty civilization. (STO - Iconian War mission: "Midnight")
On stardate 84999.22 in the year 2411, the Excalbians resumed their investigation into the benefits and virtues of the concepts of Good and Evil. Yarnek oversaw the trials, which led Seven of Nine and simulacra of Michael Burnham and Abraham Lincoln encounter various foes of the Khitomer Alliance.

The trials included the bombardment of ancient Iconia. The Borg simulacra had expanded beyond their Excalbian creators' limits and dispatched Secundus of Borg through an Iconian gateway to the ancient Iconia simulation. Secundus, masquerading as Colonel Hakeev, gave an injured 25th century T'Ket a hypospray to restore her strength. T'Ket was assimilated by the nanoprobes instead. In her Borg form, T'Ket snatched the World Heart from the L'Miren simulacrum and returned with Secundus to the Borg Collective through the gateway. Seven's party ultimately defeated the Borg simulacra. (STO - J'Ula's Discovery mission: "The Measure of Morality (Part 2)")
