Time crystal?
It could be a Data from a different reality. Although the artwork in the promo is described as not final, the Starfleet uniforms may not be from the Prime Timeline. If we go that route, maybe only Sisko is from the Prime Timeline and other characters could be from other realities as well possibly?
Yes, but every single component of the Theseus will have been replaced in the intervening century.
To be clear, I don't actually know. But someone was going to make that joke. If not me, then @Christopher.

Admittedly I did wonder if the ship would look totally different to the Constitution-esque Theseus in Year 5, but have the same registration, just for the use of that gag
The DS9 Valiant class concept would be cool.
The writing team speaks a little about the title, the Star Trek part starts around minute 46/47.

They just follow a giant ball of wool in space...
Every Trek show nowadays.... no, make that every season of every Trek show nowadays... has it's own uniform. The comics are just following that.
Lower Decks kept the same uniform in both seasons. Picard season 2 kept the same overall design with some tweaks, similar to TNG's season 3 redesign. Prodigy and Strange New Worlds have only had one season so far, so the question is still open.
Discovery kept the same uniforms in its first two seasons, though it introduced the more TOS-like Enterprise uniforms in season 2. And season 4's 32nd-century uniforms are just a color-inverted version of the season 3 uniforms (a department-color jacket with a black stripe instead of a gray jacket with a department-color stripe).
An interview with the writers:

If you're the kind of person who believes in volume numbers (I don't think IDW really use them), is this IDW's "Star Trek vol. 2"? Their only other series just called Star Trek was the JJ-era ongoing, right? I don't think I am forgetting something.
Interesting comment from Lanzing. "This is real Star Trek. This is as close as we can, on the comic side, to being canon. We will be canon until they un-canonize us. But we are working with the shows. We are in communication with the teams... . This is the canonical Benjamin Sisko sequel story".
I appreciate the sentiment, but unless it features the other DS9 characters, particularly Jake, it isn't the return of Sisko that I will take much interest in.

He just thinks canon means “consistent with the TV show” rather than “binding on the TV show.” Every use of the term in the interviews/tweets makes sense if you assume that (mistaken) definition. So this new series is “canon” because it doesn’t conflict with Picard, which the DS9 relaunch (or rather the wider litverse of which the relaunch is part) does.
Even canon isn't binding on canon. Ask Bobby Ewing. People need to stop using that damn word as if it indicates anything other than authorship/origin.
Eh, even when you’re saying “it was all a dream,” you’re admitting “it” was something that had sufficient narrative weight that you have to acknowledge it. When non-canon narratives get contradicted by canon, canon doesn’t explain why. There’s no scene in Picard where he wakes up and finds the absence of the litverse taking a shower…
Plenty of canons change things without explaining why. Like Marvel Comics constantly updating its timeline to keep pace with the present day, so that Peter Parker encountered Vietnam protestors in college, but in more recent flashback stories, had a smartphone when he was bitten by a spider in high school. Or The Six Million Dollar Man changing guest character Barney Miller to Barney Hiller in his second appearance because the sitcom Barney Miller had premiered in the interim, or changing the identity of the nurse who'd helped Steve Austin after his accident. Or Happy Days forgetting that Richie had an older brother named Chuck. Or all the James Bonds prior to Daniel Craig supposedly being the same ageless individual through the decades.
And then there are all the movie sequels that have decanonized previous sequels, in series like Highlander, Halloween, Terminator, etc. Canon is never "binding," except on licensed tie-in authors under contract to follow its lead. The creators themselves are free to reinvent it all they want, because they're the ones making it all up. Naturally you want to maintain a convincing illusion of continuity when feasible, but it's still just an illusion, and sometimes it has to give way to higher creative priorities.
I think you're reading way too much into some misspeak.
Plus if they do it would be a recast.
