Age of Discovery & the removed Klingon War missions

I got to thinking about how cryptic removed six missions from the Klingon War arc and how they could be returned to the arc once they got their update, given that we also have J'Ula now. For reference, these are the six missions:
- The Kuvah'magh
- Treasure Trading Station
- Task Force Hippocrates
- The Ultimate Klingon
- City on the Edge of Never
- Past Imperfect
Now for those whom are likely not familiar with the missions (especially if they came into the game after their removal), here's a quick rundown.
The Kuvah'magh: Starfleet sends you out to provide security for a Klingon-Federation peace conference in which Miral Paris acts as a mediator for. However, B'Vat feels that unless the Klingons are fighting the Federation, then the Empire will fall apart without anyone to battle and intends to kidnap Miral. The player then teams up with another Klingon ambassador named Kas in order to fend off B'vat.
Treasure Trading Station: Starfleet sends the player out to Argelius in order to bring in a former Klingon servant, a female Orion named Marta, whom has information regarding B'Vat's plans to extend the war indefinitely. (This leads into the Doomsday Device mission)
Task Force Hippocrates: The player is sent to the Xarantine system on a patrol mission and this leads to a discovery that continues on to the next mission.
The Ultimate Klingon: Following on from the last mission, the player gets sent to the Korvat system to speak with Doctor Julian Bashir about the medical supplies looted from Xarantine and what the Klingons could be planning to do with them.
City on the Edge of Never: This mission moves us back to B'vat as he once more attempts to get his hands on Miral Paris and takes her back to 2270 in order to change the past to shift the future into the Klingon's favor.
Past Imperfect: The player travels back in time with his ship in order to preserve history and save Miral in the process.
These missions are definitely gonna come back in some form, as they've taken the time to add voices to the missions (including Miral Paris), and they even bothered to insert Bashir into the storyline. If they had intended to scrap the mission, they wouldn't have bothered to have Siddig provide lines if they intended to just scrap the mission later. There's also dialog that they can't get rid of with Spock, so that dialog will obviously be kept.
J'Ula as T'Kuvma's sister is likely continuing on what her brother started, which is fighting the Federation in the war. The Age of Discovery simulations for everyone BUT the Discovery characters seems to suggest that J'Ula hasn't been dealt with yet, which is why I think that when they get around to doing the remasters on the six missions, they may be retconned so that they now take place as cross-faction stories for everyone, especially the Dominion characters.
J'Ula could have a big impact here, considering that in her time, she was the House of Mokai's matriarch. However in the late 24th century, B'Vat ended the House of Mokai, so it no longer exists. J'Ula would likely want to get revenge on B'Vat, provided she finds out. Maybe she and B'Vat work together at first, only she finds out what he did and wants revenge.
This is just what I feel could happen though. I'd love to hear what you guys think of this.

The entire line has been nullified by TRIBBLE, which may be why they pulled them. It didn't make a lot of sense anyway as if B'Vat wanted eternal war with the Feds in the 25th Century, why would he destroy the Feds in the 23rd?
It would be cool if the new missions were her arriving in 2409 killing off the Original Fed/KDF "hero character" creating an alternate 2410 where we he/she died and all the Undine,Borg, Iconians all that stuff we did changes and the discovery captain has to restore the 2409 timeline. Discovery captain goes back to 2409 replaces the original Fed toon character stops her restores 2409 by doing all the original missions like the DISCO toon is already gonna do restoring the timeline but with the DISCO character like how Sisko replaced Bell but good
as for already made characters...same thing kinda Daniels says you were killed and you have to go back stop yourself from being killed off and then dealing with her restoring the time like to what it is already now
Although this isn't the only time the game has removed missions. I remember an old one with a Cardassian prison and a certain son of Thomas Riker for instance. One where you worked with an Admiral Leonard James Akaar over a planet about a mining dispute. Then there was Memory Alpha, which got an upgrade to it as a hub, and then disappeared when we could just craft ourselves. The whole Borg task force gone. There's more to this list of course.
Point is...meh.
