Tarnh managed to keep his footing as the latest barrage of enemy phaser fire sheared through what was left of his ship’s port shields.
The blood-red lighting of his command bridge fluctuated for a moment before dropping, leaving the room shrouded in eerie blackness.

Something...
This should be interesting.
Nice Shakespeare reference by the way.

Also, Nachthexen-class Battle Cruiser? Sounds hot, what is it?
However, writers, please could you stop taking every chance to ram down our throats that in Cryptic's timeline the Klingons and Romulans end up joining the Federation? Some of us are quite partial to the factions...
Actually, there is several mentions of how the Na'kuhl star didn't turn into a black hole by the 29th century, which was considered an strange occurrence. Perhaps the star got restored or eventually restored itself between the 29th and 31st centuries.
Maybe the Tholians modified the Tox Uthat so the effects weren't permanent, just enough to teach the Na'kuhl a lesson.
Would everything revert back to the way it was?

Probably something on the sneakier side of things for a battle cruiser, although that's purely from it being a Night Witch-class.
Interesting ship class name... Wait... a torpedo bomber... curiouser and curiouser...

Perhaps a future 31st century ship?
Uhh, future as in not yet released, I'm not being redundant.
Temporal shenannigans...
Oh, I'm glad they fixed the star finally - that would explain why it hadn't gone out in The Temporal Front as badly as thought if they had started repairing it.
I'm a sucker for a happy ending.

Let me quote myself again:
The regiment flew harassment bombing and precision bombing missions against the German military from 1942 until the end of the war.[2] At its largest, it had 40 two-person crews. The regiment flew over 24,000 missions and dropped 23,000 tons of bombs.[3] It was the most highly decorated all-women unit in the Soviet Air Force, each pilot having flown over 800 missions by the end of the war and twenty-three having been awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union title. Thirty of its members died in combat.[4]
The regiment flew in wood-and-canvas Polikarpov Po-2 biplanes, a 1928 design intended for use as training aircraft and for crop dusting, and to this day the most-produced biplane in aviation history. The planes could carry only six bombs at a time, so 8 or more missions per night were often necessary.[5] Although the aircraft were obsolete and slow, the pilots made daring use of their exceptional maneuverability; they had the advantage of having a maximum speed that was lower than the stall speed of both the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and as a result, German pilots found them very difficult to shoot down. An attack technique of the night bombers was to idle the engine near the target and glide to the bomb release point, with only wind noise left to reveal their location. German soldiers likened the sound to broomsticks and named the pilots "Night Witches."[1] Due to the weight of the bombs and the low altitude of flight, the pilots carried no parachutes.[6]
From June 1942, the 588th Night Bomber Regiment was within the 4th Air Army. In February 1943, the regiment was honored with a reorganization into the 46th Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment and in October 1943 it became the 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment.[7] "Taman" referred to the unit's involvement in two celebrated Soviet victories on the Taman Peninsula during 1943.
Squishing Bugs for a better future
The one thing... Why couldn't these be missions for us to participate in instead of stories to enjoy... THIS would be the epitome of my expectations in a STO mission...

Thank you, Wikipedia! :P
I approve. That's how you tie up loose ends.
Perhaps the Tholians weren't so keen on destroying the star. If it becomes a supernova or a black hole it's a navigational hazard. If they just turn down the temperature so it goes cold they wreck the Nak'hul without damaging the surrounding galaxy. But stellar fusion is powered by mass, so without the mass of the star going anywhere eventually once whatever effect the Tox Uthat causes wears off the star would reignite on its own. It's a Quantum Inhibitor right? Once the inhibition wears off fusion returns to normal. One would think. Or maybe two centuries of advancement was all that was needed to develop the technology to restore the star. After all 29th century tech should be obsolete to 31st century tech.
Ahh that's a sexy story. The legends of World War II.
Indeed, are we actually going to get to do this as the grand finale for this Future Proof arc? Is this a post cursor to the next feature episode.
Oh - I like that as tricked out time - the Tholian thought processes are weird, so a temporary 'dimming' long enough to establish as a 'time travel attack' to set up the Temporal Accords would work. And a few centuries may be a short time to a Tholian, they certainly took their time getting vengeance.

Which is... well, typical for the warm and fuzzy yet often dismayingly paternalistic Federation we see in the various later series. The Federation always knows what's best, because they're the Good Guys, and you should just let them do it.
(yeah, how well did that work when they were infiltrated up to the gills with Undine and denying there was a problem?)
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
