I think the only choice is to send them back on the Enterprise immediately future to them, so the Ranger-class if it survives.

They probably come back with the current enterprise or archers.

Still could happen. The Enterprises seem to have been arriving roughly chronologically, so Enterprise C would be next. Or if we skip them, could go straight to D.
It's also possible that mentions of the future (relative to the storyteller right now) are censored. So future Enterprises or temporal agencies could be involved, but would they tell Sousa that? There's not really a reason to and plenty at risk if they do.
Not to say that's the case, but it's possible.

No, to the Enterprise from the farthest future, because then there's no crew popping up in history books.

So what class of ship was Rear Admiral Babajide's Enterprise?
"Generations is a strong episode, right up until the point where it takes an almost comically dark turn as the survivors of NCC-134 beg Commodore Nash not to vent them into space to preserve the timeline. 'I'm not going to vent you into space,' she says, in the tone of one of her classic quips, 'That could still contaminate things. I'm going to vent you into the nearest star.' It feels like we've taken an abrupt detour to the Mirror universe, which I expected to be the twist right up until the end. I was sorely disappointed."

Ok, that's just silly.
The timeline says they disappear. If they skip to the future they've disappeared, now haven't they?
It wouldn't surprise me if her target IS the NX-01, since it (and its crew) represents a linchpin in the formation of the UFP and Starfleet. Kill them, butterfly away the organization taking you apart at home.

You're right. Preview of the next update:
"How could you?" Nash screamed, as her Chief of Staff turned cooly towards her. Through the transparant aluminum of the airlock doors, she could see the bodies of the NCC-134 crew floating away into the dark abyss of space.
"Well," replied Captain Roslin, "It's what I was always destined to do." Then, she pulled out a time gun, because she was actually...
"A temporal agent." Nash said, dropping into a fight stance, "I hope you studied up on my fighting style, because I'm going to twist your joints so hard they'll call you a closed time-like curve."
...
More seriously I expect either they come back with the -B, or are recruited as temporal agents a la STO, or they just die at some point.

For all the Enterprises and the Mentat ship to arrive 10 million years in the past, someone must have intervened.
For the Mentat, it would have been enough to go back 10M years, sterilize the future Federation space* (yeah novas), and then come back into the greater Licori Empire.

Alpha Centauri? That's only a bit more than a week away from Earth at warp 5*! Cutting it a bit close
The fact that they're at Alpha Centauri also means they were definitely heading toward Earth, since the system is approximately on a straight line from Aga Carmide to Earth. The only other likely target would be Andor, courtesy of Nash, but the chase is in the wrong direction for that.
And those "days of pursuit" must amount to about 3 weeks, measuring the distance between Aga Carmide and Alpha Centauri.
* Warp 5 is 200c and Alpha Centauri is around 4.3ly from Earth, so 200c over 4.3ly = 4.3 / 200 * 365 ~= 8 days

Good news - he doesn't has a halfways reliable and moderately fast 'blow up sun' device on his ship. Or Alpha Centauri is the wrong star for that.Alpha Centauri? That's only a bit more than a week away from Earth at warp 5*! Cutting it a bit close

Don't need to blow up a star to flood the planet with enough radiation to sterilize everything living on it. I bet you could modify a deflector dish to do that in a few hours tops.
She's a mentat she'll go for overkill.

I meant, he hadn't supernovaed Alpha Centauri in the time Enterprise needed to catch up.
Alpha Centuri is a multi-star system. Might make the Mentat Star Instability process harder to carry out.
The mentat wasn't far ahead at all. Like, in the single digit minutes because the Blank Slate had to slingshot a planet to get the drop on them. Chances are good that Archer and Babjide were gaining and would have caught them shortly.
Even if the starkiller is a short process, as unlikely as that is, it would take multiple minutes at least.

Of course, completely unfeasible. For aesthetic reasons alone the process had to be initiated in all suns to amplify the effect. For that more than one ship is required, and more time. If there was enough time, the Mentat could of course initiate the process in one sun, jump back in time, initiate in the second, jump back ...
Denying the NX-01 support, perhaps? Miscalculation? Unaccounted for variables? Who knows!
Well, presumably the Mentat in question does. Or at least has an idea.
