Temporal Displacement

I tried to think of a name, but all I could come up with was "Temporal Displacement". So maybe you guys oughtta pick one for me. But a time travel game.
Game revolves around James Carson, formerly Agent 9 of the Temporal Security Agency, John Blackwell, a soldier/security guard, and Sara Hawk, a military scientist. The agency was supposed to keep criminals from time travelling after the invention of the Time Jump Module. But in 2389 war breaks out and spans across the universe. World leaders go into history and bring back war heroes to fight for their country. The war ends in 2477, but leaves all known planets desolate and cold. The survivors on any certain planet build facilities to keep them warm, generate oxygen, generate electricity, keep prisoners, and replicate food. James Carson and Sara Hawk meet each other as P.O.W.s and become friends. John Blackwell is their security guard. He is a former soldier and makes friends with the two other main characters. John Blackwell learns that there is still tension on his home planet and that his family has been taken hostage, so he breaks James Carson and Sara Hawk out and head for his home planet. After Blackwell's family is safe, other things occur, which lead to terrorist battles, shoot outs, sting operations, etc. But the main focus will be fairly early in the game, when the 3 learn that there is an un inhabited planet that is not barren and was untouched by war. There is a race to find this planet and claim it before anyone else. But the player(s) must work their way through enemy facilities, mining facilities, training facilities, (ground combat) dogfights in space, fights in jet packs, and anti-gravity space fights (air and space combat) and even scuba diving missions. Plus, it should revolve around time travel as well. The 3 having to travel through time in order to complete a tasks.

Temporal Displacement - a time travel game

With all the different choices you present here, this game could be played over and over again. Many games tend to be funny just once, never to be played again after you finnish last level. Both good oneplayer and mulitplayer levels are something I think a lot of games lack. Giving the game so many game options, make this both a "party" and a "Sunday afternoon" game.

The name of the game I leave up to you,- to me "Temporal Displacement" sounds just as good as ennything else. Maybe one of your readers has a suggestion?
