Great Clock

"You don't recognize it? This is your home: The Great Clock! A marvel of science and sorcery, engineered by the brightest Zoni in all of existence and constructed in the exact center of the universe! Give or take 50 feet."

- Nefarious

The Great Clock was located in Breegus Nebula and was where Clank was trapped by Dr. Nefarious. The Zoni constructed it in the center of the universe (give or take 50 feet) and brought Clank there because he was the rightful owner of the Clock after inheriting it from his father, Orvus, the leader of the Zoni. Clank also befriended a robot named Sigmund here who was the Junior Caretaker of the facility. Sigmund referred to the clock as the universe's contingency plan. It was constructed to keep the balance of time in order after improper use of time travel by the Fongoids created a small tear in the space-time continuum, destroying 83 celestial entities. Orvus claimed that using the clock improperly could rip the universe apart, and that under no circumstance should the Clock be used as a time machine.

Due to Nefarious destroying various equipment using his Hypersonic Brainwave Scrambler, time distortions began to appear on planets throughout the galaxy. Clank was given the task of fixing these distortions so that time was in working order once again.

Planet rooms
The Great Clock had planet rooms which Clank entered in order to fix various time distortions on the surface of such planets. To fix the time on a planet, Clank took control of a beam that came out of his Chronoscepter and he could aim it at parts of planets that were frozen. Sometimes, Ratchet could not enter a part of a planet, but coincidentally Clank could fix that without Ratchet knowing, allowing him to progress.
