I thought in the Battle of Procyon, the Expanse was by now huge and still growing, but it's at this point that Federation + Allies intervene, defeating them. Hence the Sphere Builders meddling in the 22nd century, which in fact leads to their ultimate defeat and the destruction of them and their sphere network, meaning the Expanse becomes Just More Space, meaning there's no more enemy or threat to fight at Procyon?

That was my understanding as well. (Though I guess the builders could always start trouble in some other manner. I don't remember the details of how that issue was resolved.)

Yeah okay, that makes more sense. I was also wondering if the discrepency between the models could be explained by the Ent-J being able to transform into two modes with "normal mode" being that new model and "battle mode" being the model we're familiar with. (Sorry Lurker, I should practice what I preach )

Transforming starship, eh? Not outside the realm of possibility, but a LOT of the internal space of the secondary hull would have to be reconfigured to make those pics match.

Silly geese! I've just realized - we've been looking at the underside of the Enterprise-K all this time! It was built and launched less than two decades after the launch of the E-J, after all, so the similarities in certain design aspects are easily mistakable.

Ha! Dumbass me! Well you're right Mark, it is the Ent-K, but just for the hell of it, do you mind telling what proof have of your claim? Just for old time's sake! Old Chap! Old Pal of Mine!

Incontrovertible proof if ever I've read it.

I think by the 29th century we can explain it all as either A) Braxton's Meddling, or B) Its So Far Advanced that its Magic. Therefore any and all discrepancies disappear via the Bajoran Orb of Sweeping it Under the Rug.

How about this - the secondary hull is a swappable / swapped element. The saucer section and nacelles are clearly the same (or close enough) to the established elements from the calendar. This could be the E-J from a different time in its lifespan, after (or before) a significant refit.

The words coming to mind are, at, straws, and grasping.
