Next log, we find the five hundred year old wreck of the Enterprise encrusted in Morshadd's surface, next to that of the mentat ship. Nash and Mrrshan's makeshift graves nearby.

The USS Enterprise Owner's Workshop Manual lists the Enterprise-B as being lost (presumed destroyed) in 2329 after the crew contracted an unknown infection.
If we've ended up with the Enterprise back when the Ranger's flying around, on a certain level I begin to worry about just how many of the Federation's rules of thumb design guidelines are from cribbing from later era designs.
Ah well, causality is for people who don't have deflector dishes.

Oh, there's a certain Rear Admiral (personnel) who might disagree.

Yeah, well fuck that <.<
That's no way for an Enterprise to go!
Blaze of Glory or bust?

Well we were wondering how why/how we would need to commission Enterprise C.

and before that she was an academy ship, but afterwards she was stolen by her crew and self destructed in orbit of Genesis
Though I bet there were prior USS enterprises, that were not NCC-1701, so... go figure their fates

That wasn't the A, but rather the original after her 18-month rebuild.

... Why would the Licori Mentats go to the past? Go to the future, loot some impressive tech, then go back.

And then to the past, that's how Mentats were created without using computers to aid the process in the first place.

No, to before the computer problems they had, jump starting their development, and humanity's first contact is with a Kortennon explorer.

You realize this involves looting from people with better tech than them? It's kind of difficult. Much easier to go to the past.

Eh, just me trying to find an eplanation how they could get a successful superhuman intelligence-boost for their scientists without using computers or already having Mentats.
That seems difficult to me.

Loot as in trade eye-witness accounts of the distant past for trinkets. For example. Go to earth and look for the ruins. And so on. With a working time machine a lot of the time pressure is gone.

Picard is fighting off the Borg to save the USS Phoenix, when all of a sudden a Licori mentat ship races through followed by a furious Mrrshan.

Improve the process with knowledge gotten from the future, go to the past before the computer revolution, show the benefits of the improved process, dominate society.

We don't know anything about the time travel method used, for all we know the thing only goes back and they have to slowboat back by moving at relativistic speeds between systems or something to get back to the present.
Or they have to use a particular set up that can only spit them out at a particular time or place.
Or... you go to the future, Future Guy/Daniels pulls you over and goes "Hahaha, no, not in my timeframe buster" and boots you back before you violate the temporal accords or whatever.
Or the defences the future uses to protect themselves against temporal attacks from others just stops the system from working in that direction.
Or they come out in the same place so all Starfleet has to do is build an outpost there and wait 50 years because we know they're coming.

I should not be this invested in letters on a screen about fictional people, their courses guided by RNG, spreadsheets, best guesses and impassioned speeches.
And yet, here we are.

If there were such defenses, shouldn't they prevent someone doing shady stuff in the past, too?

Except those attacks "already" happened in the future and are thus locked in when the defences go into place!
