Yep, its the Chernobyl disaster that kicks off the events of star trek six. It felt like something that was thrown in for the hardcore audience, except there was no discussion about why the thing was broken in the first place.
I dunno, maybe the destruction of Vulcan caused the klingons to ramp up their defense spending and Praxis became unstable sooner. I still think someone said 'The moon explodes right?'
'Yeah'
'Great, put it in the establishing shot, it'll look awesome'
'it's not supposed to explode for 30 years'
'#### it, new timeline'
'if its a new time line, must we shoplift so much from the previous films? This crew has its own destiny, is it really gonna be past adventures with more commercially viable aesthetics?'
'You're fired'
