Interesting. It seems the series will not be a ship on a mission type tale. Seems bigger.

There will be starship missions, but there's other stuff going on too. There's a lot of ground to cover here.

I wonder what this early Federation's flagship is if not Enterprise? Will that be revealed in the first book with its crew?

I prefer to avoid the use of "flagship" in the vernacular sense of a vessel that's treated for some reason as the most important or prestigious vessel in the entire Federation fleet. I don't think that's a very realistic usage. Strictly speaking, a flagship is the command vessel of a task force, or it's the ship on which an admiral carries his or her flag, i.e. uses as a command base or has at his or her personal disposal. Both those types of flagship are seen in the novel, but the kind of "flagship" you're talking about is not.
