This means that when the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 was built, it included a piece of the NX-01, Archer’s ship from Enterprise. Instead, we learn that “the tradition is … construction starts with a piece of the last ship to bear its name.” But they don’t even need to find an NX ship, which to both Pike and Boimler are very old. So any old NX-class ship still around in 2259 would have some Horonium in its hull. But at the top of the episode, Boimler mentions that it was used in the construction of the original NX-01 Enterprise, which existed in the 22nd century. The ancient time portal that Mariner and Boimler stumbled upon runs on a substance called Horonium, which is very scarce in both the 23rd and 24th centuries. The lower deckers crash Strange New Worlds. But the biggest plot twist changes more than just the characters, but the bones of Trek starships.
Hanging out over a century in the past is perilous for the hapless ensigns, who Pike describes as “toddlers” prone to “knocking over the furniture.” Then again, Boimler accidentally encourages Spock (Ethan Peck) to become a more mature version of himself, and Marnier pushes Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) to lighten up, which would make them more like the characters we know from The Original Series. In Strange New Worlds Season 2 Episode 7, “Those Old Scientists,” Lower Deckers Mariner (Tawny Newsome) and Boimler (Jack Quaid) are desperate to get back to 2381 after an ancient time portal accidentally zaps them back to 2259. Here’s how the big Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds crossover episode establishes a new starship rule, and what it might mean for the rest of Star Trek. But it turns out Captain Pike is aware of what Boimler is talking about, and suddenly we’ve got a retroactive starship tradition that relies on those faith-of-the-heart adventures of the NX-01 ship from that other prequel series, Enterprise. When Ensign Brad Boimler travels back 122 years to the USS Enterprise of 2259, he uses his nerdy knowledge of old-school starship history to save the day. When it comes to Star Trek’s history, it’s starships all the way down.
