A maior parte da frota da Federação estava supostamente oferecendo apoio à frota Klingon atualmente em perigo. (Um pouco estranho ou incomum, considerando a postura da Federação e do Império Klingon em Star Trek: Into Darkness.)
Da Memória Alfa:
A deleted scene from the film establishes that the Narada was crippled after it was rammed by the Kelvin. A convoy of Klingon warbirds eventually arrived and captured the ship and its crew. Twenty five years later, Nero and his crew escaped from their imprisonment on Rura Penthe, reclaimed the Narada, used the ship to destroy 47 Klingon warbirds, and continued on their mission.
