Spock"s Kelvin Timeline Ship Has a Huge Next Generation Connection

Spock’s ship from the 2009 Star Trek film has a surprising connection to Star Trek: The Next Generation. JJ Abrams’ 2009 reboot of the venerable franchise began when Spock was thrown back to the 23rd century, creating a new timeline. The ship Spock arrived in was only seen briefly in the film, but in Star Trek: Countdown #3, readers learn the ship, called the Jellyfish, was created by a Next Generation icon. The Countdown miniseries served as a bridge between the classic Star Trek universe and Abrams’ reboot.
In 2009, JJ Abrams, along with writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, breathed new life into the Star Trek franchise with a big-budget feature film. Recasting the iconic roles of Captain Kirk and Mister Spock, the movie spared no expense in bringing the 23rd century to new and vital life. Yet a way was needed to create this new timeline without disrespecting everything that came before. It was decided that Spock, in a bid to stop the Romulan sun from going supernova, would instead be thrown back through time, with a group of vengeful Romulans in close pursuit. These Romulans attacked the USS Kelvin, and the new timeline was born. The ship Spock traveled through time was one of the most unique looking starships seen in the franchise - the Jellyfish.
