I'd been kicking around the idea of this ship and maybe a fanfic based around it for a while, but honestly the new movie throws the idea of timeships into a bit of disarray. For example, why would anyone go back to correct changes in the timeline if the original timeline is still preserved and all they will be doing is creating a third?

Trek has always portrayed time travel as doing both. Just say that sometimes it causes a new, parallel timeline to emerge, and other times it causes differences within your own timeline.

So, use the established concepts that are convenient to my story and ignore or retcon the ones that aren't? Now that's good Trek writing!

That's how it's always been done.

That sort of name is more appropriate for a Terran Empire warship than a Federation starship, isn't it?

Though, really, why not just name it the USS Ima' Kick Yo' ASS, Mothafucka'!, a Baddass Guns 'n' Shit-class starship if you're gonna go that route?

Nero and Spock went through a black hole. The only other time anything has done that in Trek was V'Ger and it wasn't explicitly stated that that was the Prime Timeline's Voyager 6. Heck, their version of Voyager 6 could still even be out there, having not fallen into a black hole.

Every other instance of time travel has been via fancy subspace mumbo-jumbo. Surely multiple models of time travel can apply at once, non?
