History:

 Starfleet first became aware of the Q Continuum on the inaugural mission of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D to Farpoint Station in 2362
  A strange man appears on the bridge and hijacks the Enterprise's captain, Jean-Luc Picard, and several other crew members. An irascible fellow, he claims to be part of an all-knowing super-race known as The Q that live in an extra-dimensional domain. Not terribly creative with names, he calls himself Q as well.
However powerful, Q's extradimensional abilities are flawed by an immature sense of play and curiosity. At Farpoint, Q considers humanity too barbarous to expand any further, and he sentences the crew of the Enterprise to death. Luckily, Captain Picard manages to prove humanity's worth in a Q-projected court. But Q promises that the case has not been settled.
  The biggest threat that Q imposes upon the Federation is hurling the Enterprise some 7,000 light years into a first encounter with the dangerous Borg in System J-25. Proving his own childishness, this action was in retaliation for Picard's refusal to allow him to join as a crew member.
  During the homeward journey of the USS Voyager, the crew encounter another member of the Q Continuum. This Q has only one request - that he be allowed to commit suicide. The original Q is quick to appear and chastise his fellow immortal for being unrealistic. The suicidal Q requests asylum, and Captain Janeway orders a special hearing to be held.
  During the proceedings, the suicidal Q takes Janeway to a facsimile of the Continuum, a mock-up for human sensibilities. It appears as a truck stop on a lonely desert highway where nothing ever happens. The members of the Continuum there look bored almost to death
  The suicidal Q claims that his death will spark new growth opportunities for the Continuum, and even our Q admits that boredom is a side-effect of omnipotence. Janeway rules in favor of the suicidal Q, but with great reservations - and awaits the next meeting with the Q.
  The Q has bee very quiet over the last few decades
