also says that the ship was on a five year mission to the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, which is utter nonsense.

Why? They could of found a wormhole or subspace tunnel or some other way to get there.

I believe that happened in TLE novel in fact. Though it was Sulu and the Excelsior, and possibly the Large Magellanic Cloud not the Small Magellanic Cloud. I haven't gotten back there on my re-read yet.

I believe DS9 mentioned that there had never been a stable wormhole discovered until the Bajoran one.

To borrow terminology from TMP and TNG perhaps they fell through a black hole.

Yea. TNG had an episode where a negotiation was being done with the Federation, Ferrengi, and a couple others to get access to a wormhole and then they found out it wasn't actually stable since the exit would change (which made it a one-way trip once it closed)
