Lore/Story: Anyone else noticed...?

When you do the Romulan-related questline, Nero is often mentioned and referred to. But he's not referred to as we who pay attention to our movies are...

Often the game references him being a hero and Narada as a vastly powerful ship.

He's not a hero, he's a miner. He didn't do anything heroic in this timeline. And the Narada is, even in his own words, a "simple mining vessel." Where do we get that it was a vastly powerful ship, one that my Science Officer would regard as being so powerful that she "doesn't know any ship that would" survive a full-on assault by it?

The Narada is only as powerful as it was in the new movie because it was a vessel with future technology -- in our time, he'd be a pushover. So why are we, in the story, told to regard him with this great sense of fear?

There's my geek musing for the day.

    As I recall, in the Star Trek: Countdown comic books that take place before Nero and Spock travel back in time, the Narada is upgraded by the remaining Romulans with Borg/Romulan hybrid technology from a simple mining vessel into the warship we know.

    It then does proceed to attack and destroy a large number of ships before intercepting Spock.

    Ahh is that so?

    I consider myself educated now. :)

    ... although that means that it should have been unstoppable in the movie now, doesn't it?

    And this is one of the times the "canon" card will not work, since many things in STO are based on non-canon novels and comics. :p
