Okay, I see. The Relativity is a Federation Starfleet ship with a Starfleet crew, but the Memory Alpha article also mentions that the ship's dedication plaque contains reference to a Temporal Integrity Commission, the exact nature of which is not explained....a small Vulcan time-ship (presumably Spock's, seen in the November and March trailers) and the Narada (Nero's ship, originally a mining vessel of some sort and not originally intended for time travel) and I think that's all we've been told about, officially speaking.did they ever mention if this was a federation only operation or is time travel in the future a piece of tech that other factions/races/organizations are able to use and have at their arsenal?
i meant the relativity. it seems like a federation ship but not sure if it's one of those things that may be built by federation but under the scrutiny of various other factions like how the stargate may be based in the united states but there is an international committee overseeing it's general operation and use.
Ah but Voyager also clarified that as Captain Braxton had been reintegrated himself (Futures End Braxton was different from Relativity Braxton).I'm okay without Starfleet's "timecops," mostly 'cause they had to recast Captain Braxton, thus makin' him his own temporal anomaly.
so how come the relativity didn't see fit to stop this temporal incursion from happening? it clearly is not the timeline that would have lead to it's creation because if so, they wouldn't have bothered to correct the timeline in voyager as it would just be wiped completely anyway. it's not like it's beyond their reach anyway.
We will just have to wait and find out. Perhaps the new timeline is somehow needed, and 29th century Starfleet (of the original) had a reason to leave it alone...besides, the original timeline wasn't affected, so why would the investigators have a problem with the new one?![]()
Anything that can happen does happen in one reality or another. If I'm walking down a street and have to decide whether or not to take a left or a right, in one reality I go right and in another I go left. Different realities account for different decisions we make so there are several possible futures that could emerge from the present.
In this type of theory all futures branch out from a common past. The further we go into the future, the more realities diverge. The further we go into the past, the more realities converge. Prime Trek and New Trek both have ENT in common. If Prime Trek and New Trek have ENT in common, then ENT has at least two possible futures. 1986 has even more possible futures, so the crew in TVH were from one possible version of the 23rd Century while Star Trek (2009) is another version.
Where am I going with this?
I think Star Trek (2009) isn't just a different timeline where things were only changed becasue of Nero, I think it's a different timeline where things after 2233 unfolded differently in general. Chekov's parents have him sooner, the Enterprise is commissioned later, etc. The reason for Chekov's birth being sooner? [His parents] either met sooner or decided to have children sooner. The reason the Enterprise was commissioned later? The ship that would've been commissioned in 2245 was called something else instead and Pike was never in command of that ship or maybe he was and we didn't see it.
If I wanted to take it one step further, I could say that [Trek Prime] is a possible 23rd Century projected from 1966 where there are Eugenics Wars. [...] Star Trek (2009) is a 23rd Century projected from 2009 which was then [disrupted by Nero].
