Had the Xindi destroyed Earth in 2153... (survivors out there)

I was just thinking of the ENT episode Twilight, where in an alternate reality the Xindi manage to destroy Earth in 2153, along with other human colonies such as Mars, Vega Colony and Alpha Centauri. And by the end of the episode they've hunted down the rest of the ragtag survivors at Ceti Alpha and are out for the kill.

So let's just say if that timeline continued, they've destroyed Enterprise and the other ships, and obviously kill everyone on the planet... so job done, humanity extinct.


But I was thinking, just for fun actually what other vestiges of humanity and other "Earthlings" would still remain out in the galaxy from what we know from other Trek incarnations? Whether they be people or evidence of mankind.



Three off the top of my head-
-Zefram Cochrane would still be out there with the Companion in the Gamma Canaris region
-The Voth in the Delta Quadrant you could say are technically Earthlings
-The 37s and their ancestors again in the Delta Quadrant



I can think of a few others but I'll pass it over for now
 
^ And there's a pretty good SNW story that explores the question of what Khan would have done if he'd been awoken in the "Twilight" timeline.
 
I never even thought of Khan and co actually!

There's the Terra Nova colony too (ENT: Terra Nova) but not sure if the Xindi would have known about that.


Then there's things like Colonel Stephen Richey's body and the wreckage of the Charybdis on/near Theta VIII (TNG: The Royale)


Basically just evidence that humanity existed I mean.
 
I don't remember when it left, but the Terrra Ten colony might be out there (and tiny).
 
The boomers would still be around. Few and far between? Yes, but still around.

Maybe they would meet somewhere and start a colony. Or perhaps they would live out the rest of their lives on generational cargo ships and humanity would become a purely space-faring society.
 
There are the colonies founded by the Mariposa. It left in 2123.

Space Ark Terra Ten is listed as having left Earth in 2070.

Both sets of colonies were not found by the Federation for centuries.

Also the Genome Colony on Moab IV. It probably had left already.

There would be some number of Humans living on Vulcan; diplomatic corps, doctors, scientists and professors in exchange programs, Starfleet personnel in training programs or participating in joint exercises, etc.
 
Things like Cold Station 12 too, although I'd guess the Xindi would know about "official" colonies and outposts like that.
But yeah the two groups, the Bringloidi and the Mariposa, from TNG: Up The Long Ladder, 2123

And I also forgot about the Genome Colony in TNG: The Masterpiece Society. I think they said they left two centuries earlier, so it could possibly be prior to the Xindi attack.



I was also just thinking about looking at it from a galactic archaeologist in say the 24th century, finding evidence of humanity. There'd be all the probes we've sent out, esp the Trek ones like Friendship One on the planet in the Delta Quadrant.
And V'ger would still be on it's way :)


I was also wondering if Flint (TOS: Requiem for Methuselah) would have left by then, but I got the impression it would have been later. Haven't seen the episode in years though tbf

Will it make the same mistake as USS Reliant and think Mars is the third planet?

Assuming the Xindi just didn't blow up ever planet or moon the humans were on in the Sol System.
 
According to "Twilight", the Xindi tracked down every known earth colony. Those like the Mariposan clones and the Bringloidi Irish had been forgotten about by Archer's tour of duty, so they would have escaped.
