I think King means that the NX-01 in the mirror universe got their hands on the Constitution class USS Defiant after it flipped to their universe and time period.

Yes.

I see, so we are to assume they reversed engineered the Defiant and advanced their technology. I would be surprised if they went with another time travel/alternate universe story.

I agree, I don't think it's likely but the idea did give me pause for a moment.

Overall, though, alternate Mirror Universe may be something to think about further down the line but I'm not sure it would be as 'mass market' as Romulans or Klingons.

Here's a new movie tie-in commercial with Mazda.

Yeah, the appeal of the mirror universe if taking characters you care about and turning them on their heads. Don't think that would ever fly in a movie setting.

Convection, creativity, courage, and a dash of lens flare...

Cool comercial :)

All kidding aside, I do find it an odd creative decision to have yet another massive ship for the Enterprise to fight. The last two Trek films, Nemesis and the first JJ movie both had that conceit and it's back yet again. Bit unimpressed.

Yeah, I kind of agree.  I also find it strange since this John Harrison is suppose to be "better" than everyone at everything.  So, if that's true wouldn't he be able to take on the Enterprise with an even smaller, less powerful ship?  Anyone can outgun someone else.  How does that make him better?  Hopefully it will all make sense once we see the film.

Well, at least it's now clear what ship that is crashing into San Fran, it's this sucker!

[Dangelus]

The implication is this is a starfleet vessel. I thought most of the ships were destroyed in the last movie. Must be a section 31 ship!

Excelsior?

[Dangelus]

Excelsior?

That's it! They'll send Scotty over to sabotage the Transwarp drive! ;)

I heard it through the grapevine it's being called a Dreadnaught-class ship.

Which would be a proper in Universe ship class as per the Technical Manual.
