The Battle of Procyon V (Beware: Enterprise S3 Spoilers)

[Markonian]

^ The basics are accurate. It sounds complex but when you play through the story as chronologically as possible, it makes sense. The fun part is that future events lead to past events, which then become precursors to later events...

In the game, the J looks as in the episode/calendar except for two differences: the ship name/registry is to the left and right of the dorsal globe (rather than above the deflector dish), and the registry says "NCC-1701-J" (rather than NCC-1701 as on the original model).

The aspect that sets the Battle of Procyon V apart from other battles is that multiple factions travel to and from it, from anywhere between the 22nd-31st centuries. As a result, the battle is in constant "replay" and needs constant interference. From the perspective of Captain Dax, her ship and fleet fight the battle, win, day over. For factions of the Temporal Cold War, it never ends.

The most hilarious thing about that is in the end it is all Picards fault. He sent back Tash, and that set into motion the whole spiel of Sela, destruction of Romulus, Iconians, use of the Krenim weapon, Sphere Builders etc. No wonder Q found him iffy.

I hope that is somewhat coherent, the story has many twists. Btw. The game does not make it clear if future guy is Noye or Daniels (long story) himself.

Spoiler

According to Enterprise the sphere builders were a rival power to Future Guy, while in STO Noye was trying to help them so I don't think they're the same person. But he did use the similar technology as Future Guy to contact the past, except he could also use it to transport, like how Daniels modified it to do in Shockwave part 2

 

[Ketrick]

While it's likely that the Battle of Procyon V as seen was completely erased, it's not impossible that a version of the battle might still happen. The Sphere Builders were able to establish the Spheres in the past so there's no reason to think they couldn't again in a different region or even different regions of space.

It's also possible Edison was a MACO on Enterprise and only in that time encountered the Xindi. He might have referred to that year as the Xindi War, because from his perspective, it would certainly appear like it's a war.

After all, we never got a complete list of MACO personnel that were aboard during that time...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Indeed. Edison was probably the officer who was second in command to Major Hayes, and who took over command of the NX-01's MACO detachment after Hayes' death.

I mean, we know from STB that Edison was an officer. And it's a near-certainty that a Major would have at least a Lieutenant, possibly even a Captain, serving as his second. So on the Enterprise, Edison was most likely that person.

Or maybe the USS Franklin never existed in the ENT timeline, and it's a backwards ripple of Nero's incursion into 2233 - where the Xindi incident involved more widespread combat and the newly formed Federation broke bread with the Xindi and Romulans, making Edison into a bitter, twisted TOS-style Crazy Captain.

I mean, where was it when Earth needed defence? Why wasn't it sent into the Expanse? Why didn't they ever mention the historic first warp 4 ship or her captain when the Enterprise NX-01 was the historic first warp 5 ship?

Because the NX-01 was the more advanced ship. It got the lion's share of the glory.

Look at it from the public's perspective. Why should anyone care about the first warp FOUR ship, when the first warp FIVE ship was obviously the better one?

Because, right up until the NX-01 was launched, it was the fastest human-built Starship ever built. That would have been big news - like the first warp 7 ship was in the ENT finale.

That and by the time Edison got the Franklin, the ship was already old news. This was post-war...after the formation of the Federation...after the NX-01 was retired and Archer was an Admiral.

Franklin was probably hot stuff in 2249 while the Enterprise was still being built. Or Franklin was the first warp four ship in a Earth Starfleet that had only Warp Two/Three ships and the prototype Warp Five NX-01 starship. A new Warp Four designs is not all that much compared to Enterprise, but if it is more reliable or easier to build, it be a big deal next to the time consuming NX-class ships.

I figure it might be a competing design style with the more Kelvin style nacelles rather than the NX-class' more Constitution/Phoenix type nacelles.
