Cepheus Universal also has a section on time travel.

A couple of patrons in the first edition of 760 Patrons use time travel as well. Supplement 9: Campaign Guide has a temporal anomaly as a Space Event, offers time machines as Ancient Artefact in three entries of a d66 table and makes time travel a 'Discovery' on another d66 table with three possible options. Perhaps more obscurely and less canonly (is that a word?) there's an encounter in Compendium 2 with Viridia who might use time travel to stop the PCs tracking down an alien temple - although it does specifically call out her powers as NOT being available in the Core Rulebook. Supplement 15: Powers & Principalities has the most 'sensible' use of it in the LifeTimers organization cryogenically freezing clients to "give ultimate security for every time-traveller", but probably not what anyone really means by time travel. >> >> It also crops up in 'alternate' universe books such as Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog. >> >> However, I'm really struggling to think of any mention of in Mongoose 2nd edition except for the negative mention in one of the Deepnight Revelation books.

Each point of CEI assigned allows an attempt to overcome a near-impossible problem.
