Although it goes against how xenophobic the Terran Empire is, I expect it to be Emperor Saru.
Kind of makes sense if you think about it. He's tired of being the gazelle on his homeworld, so he takes control of the most feared empire in the quadrant and become the lion![]()

As for the Defiant schematic looking slightly different, remembe the Empire has been messing with it for 80 years...
Since Culbert is gone, it could definitely be him too.
Phillipa Georgiou...That's good though, it makes sense concerning the story. Also, that's not our prime universe Defiant. It's a great show...I've been watching since the beginning back with Shatner/Kirk and think Discovery has been a lot of fun.
There's no point to it being Hoshi, though. There would be no dramatic impact or narrative value for the Discovery crew in having the Empress be revealed as Sato. No-one on board has any (that we know of) connections to the Hoshi Sato who was alive a century ago. Same would go with having Pike revealed as the Emperor. He's contemporary, but has never been on the show, nor does anyone have a connection to him in the cast. Great as fan easter eggs, perhaps, not so great for the ongoing drama.
Georgiou, Cornwell or Saru, on the other hand would be good choices because the characters personally know the prime versions of them. I can't see it being Stamets, though, as I suspect we will need to keep that story confined to his transformed state and grief over the loss of his love.

What if they don't show the emperor?
