Spoilers Season 2 Trailers, Previews, and Promos

I like how trailer had plenty of punches (with inter-punch quips) to emphasise the more thoughtful, character-driven tone of the series.

The person holding the knife looks like the Borg Queen, although why she'd be brandishing a weapon like that is anyone's guess. Maybe she isn't able to use her assimilation tubules?
 
'Kay. But Nemesis proves the combat variant Nova existed in 2379 of the Prime Timeline. Not to mention, the ships in this trailer are presumably in the Fascist Federation Timeline, so if a combat variant Nova can exist in the Prime Timeline and an alternate timeline where the Federation keeps its morals and values, it can exist in one where the Federation turns fascist.

I mean, we're discussing a timeline where Harry Kim actually got promoted. Is the idea of him commanding a battleship any more farfetched than that?
It's unlikely that the first of her class, and that class being the successor to the Oberth as a science ship, is a combat variant. Nemesis never said the Nova was a combat ship. It probably has the best sensors and was in the area (like the main ship is always the closest to the problem of the week), and that's why it joined the battle group to help detect the Scimitar through its cloak for example. And if small variations already lead to a new name (Rhode Island), and the design itself existed as the Defiant's design first, it's easily possible that this class has a different name as well. It's actually funny that the ships look so similar if the change in history happened 376 years before XD
 
That's a pretty good guess at what it could look like I think. Though I'm sure I can see even more guns sticking out the front of it on the painting.

Why? If Starfleet wanted to develop a combat variant of the Nova class, would it not make sense to go back to the first ship of the class and refit it accordingly as a testbed for said variant?

Indeed, the interpretation taken in non-canon sources is that after the Equinox disappeared and was presumed destroyed, the entire Nova class line was recalled to undergo extensive investigations to determine if there maybe a flaw with the design itself, and with rising tensions with the Dominion ongoing at the time, the decision was made since all Nova class ships were in the shipyards anyway, might as well overhaul them into combat ships.

the original defiant design was rejected because they wanted a more compact ship with fewer vulnerable areas, that's why the defiant changed so much. if the ship that gives the class its name is completely altered, wouldn't that alter the whole class as well?
MA said:
The Nova-class was a type of Federation starship designed for short-term planetary research missions.
Type: Science vessel
The Nova-class was designed as a science and scout vessel, intended for short-term planetary research and analysis. It is not typically suitable for combat operations.
End of story :shrug:
