I found that so unbelievable I had to look it up.
Getting old.


My theory is they jump forward in time to when Nero and Spock traveled back from at the start of the first Rebot installment. Not focusing on the Spock, Nero, or the Romulan crisis specifically, but those background concepts can ground the series in existing mythology. Just existing at that later point in them so they can roll out new more advanced tech concepts.
