Killing the main characters 3 episodes in would be a strange choice.

Given the zillion Flyers that the Voyager crew blew up during the show, I was wondering if they had a thing like that back then. Just ask the computer to replicate a new Shuttle and voila.
That was maybe the best onscreen primer of the Federation ever.
What is he doing in the Delta Quadrant in the first place? It must be far in the future because Holo-Janeway said that the Federation was in part in the Beta Quadrant.
Not all Tellarities live in the sphere of the Federation. It aren't that hard.
Spreading the good news of Tellar the Great. It's his mission.
The human settlers in "The Masterpiece Society(TNG)" didn't know what the Federation and transporter technology were so it's very possible citizens of Federation worlds can grow up and spend their entire lives being unaware of its existence, especially if they're located in a remote sector cut off from the rest of known space.
It was more along the lines of how did he get there?
The major-bore society is more like it. No wonder some people wanted out, it's a wonder some of them didn't kill themselves out of boredom.
Given how old Tellar was, including having conflicts with the Andorians, it would make sense that Tellar had sent out colony ships or explorers that happened prior to the founding of the Federation. And, as @Ghouleddie74 notes there are colonies that know nothing of the Federation. So, it's not outside the realm of possibility.
Because, as we know, suicide is always the answer...

Press said this took place Earth year 2383, 4 years after Nemesis

In that case, it seems like the only answer given how rigid that society was. any society that can't survive the departure of a small percentage of its members, must be more rigid than crystal.
Death before boredom? Well, that's a new one. I'll have it tattooed under my new family crest.
The Blue Central Circle is the Bussard Collector?
What makes you think that?
The regular nacelles don't seem to have standard Bussard Collectors.
I know a third nacelle pops out from the Dorsal Hatch, but Jakom was in engineering where the two Warp cores are.
It seems like a weird place to put a Bussard Collector if you ask me (which would also make the entire section inaccessible when the third nacelle is in use - ergo, you aren't allowed access to the Warp Cores either if something goes wrong).
Would Trans Warp as a technology alone be enough to entice the Diviner?
The Borg have that technology, and with the recent destruction of the Borg unicomplex... they'd be easy pickings for TW coils, etc. Plus the Diviner seems to have A LOT of technology and power at his disposal - plus we still don't know how he learned of the Protostar or its capabilities.
I mean, sure, the possibilities of traveling at say 60 Ly's in 10 seconds (if the TW speed is comparable to the Voth ship VOY encountered - or heck, even 'infinite velocity) open up massive potential for expanding ones slave operations and where he could trade his mineral... but it seems like a 'tunnel vision' if you ask me, and for some reason, I keep thinkgin its not the only thing the Protostar has up its sleeve (still, as I said, I could be wrong) - but that Blue 'core' between the 2 Warp cores was located in what seemed like engineering... so, TW alone could be it.
Also, am I the only one who thinks using manual labor for mining is just plain stupid because its slow, inefficient, etc.?
The Diviner also has a massive amount of those security bots that look like mini Reapers... which would seem adequate enough to perform mining operations themselves (not to mention faster and wouldn't require breaks).
I know, I know... even in the face of automation, some nasty individuals (like the Cardassians and the Diviner) would use slave labor due to the negative psychological aspects it brings to keep people under their control... but if you efficiently want to mine something (especially in a future where you have access to pretty much fantastic technology), automation would be the answer... not people.
EDIT: It seems that the Protostar has something called the 'Proto Core'. It was spotted during the premierre event apparently (but I don't recall SEEING it in the first 2 episodes).
So, based on this, it appears to be a CORE (not a Bussard Collector)... as for its function... TW could be it as you said... but it may have a function going BEYOND TW (whatever it may be).

Some countries with a high percentage of suicides are among the most prosperous and quieter there are... so there must be something into it.
When I look back at the series and fill in gaps, I like to think that they eventually just built the industrial replicator. Eventually they have a 'full complement' of torpedoes late into the series and a surplus of destroyed or lost shuttlecraft, the only possible explanation is that they later had means to construct these types of things where previously they had not. Maybe not the fanciest industrial replicator that could replicate a whole shuttle, but at least one large/complex enough to build all the crazy 'hard to replicate' components that would go into building a ship. That replicator likely fashioned the components of the Delta Flyer which they then built by "hand."
