[ EU ] Joachim convinces Khan to abandon his quest for vengeance against Kirk . The Augments take the Reliant off to build a colony . Fast fwd 80 years to the Next Generation era and the Augments are now ready to reveal themselves .

Josef looked to the stars, he knew she was out there. It had been 78 years since they'd found this world, lush, thriving, full of raw materials, flora, fauna, and most importantly, a primitive humanoid civilization to enslave. His grandfather, Khan, had brought the survivors of the Botany Bay here, having forsaken vengeance for something greater, something more important. A chirp from his communicator confirmed what he already knew, his ship was here to retrieve him. `` Malice to Lord Singh, we've arrived.'' Josef Singh answered with instructions to beam him up to his flagship, the Malice. They'd spent the first several years carving out a niche on this world, enslaving and educating the indigenous people to provide the labor and the soldiers they'd need for their plans. The Blamuit were hard-working, strong, and intelligent my most standards, but they were no match for the Augments. After having conquered the entire planet, and unifying it under their banner, the Augments put their new subjects to work. Mining, research, and then construction. They were the rightful heirs to Earth, and they would have it. The Reliant served them well for many years, being used to gather materials, explore the nearby areas, seeking supplies, technology, and potential subjects. In a matter of a few decades, they'd conquered a few others, putting Blamuit in charge of the subject worlds they'd conquered since, because thought the Augments had been fruitful and multiplied, they were still relatively few in number. They'd built a fleet of starships, fitted with new technology and weapons developed from the lessons learned from Reliant, as well as their subjects, trading partners, and their own research and development. They now had 48 ships, each commanded by Augments and crewed with the races they'd conquered, and soon, they would make their move. Projections had the Federation as having advanced somewhat in the past 80 years, but they were confident they could handle whatever was developed after the Miranda, Constitution, and Oberth class vessels they'd had when Khan had liberated them from Ceti Alpha V. The Reliant herself had long been retired, orbiting the Blamuit homeworld as a museum. Singh took his throne at the center of the command chamber of the Malice. `` Set a course for Federation space, and engage transwarp''. He instructed. They'd be in Federation territory in a few hours. `` When we reach the estimated scanning range of their outer scanning arrays, drop from transwarp to warp, and engage the cloaking devices.'' The computer on Reliant had been invaluable. While it failed to give any useful information on Genesis, it did give them information on Excelsior's transwarp drive, Romulan cloaking technology, and Klingon weapons. Each of their ships had technology developed from that information. The taking of Earth would be done by surprise. `` I'll be in my chambers,'' Singh said. `` Summon me if there is any change in our status.'' A few hours later, Singh's comm panel in his quarters beeped, disturbing his rest. `` Speak.'' he said. `` My Lord, we are detecting a starship of Federation design, a Miranda-class starship.'' `` Miranda-class, you mean they have n't advanced at all since we last saw them?'' `` It appears that way, your excellency,'' came the reply, `` shall we destroy them?'' `` No,'' Singh replied, stay on course, out.'' 
 
 The next morning, Singh was on the bridge when his science officer, a Priallian, approached his throne and kneeled. `` Excellency, there is something you need to see.'' Singh stood, and approached her station. `` Theres... there are fifty Federation starships near Earth... and they're battling... a cube... It's massive...'' Singh was nearly babbling as he watched all of the information appearing on the monitor. `` They're winning... look at these ships! They're magnificent! Watch this small one, this Defiant...'' he continued watching and commenting on what he was seeing as his own fleet approached Earth. `` Order our fleet to hold this position outside of the solar system. The Malice will approach alone, under cloak, and scan these new ships and their adversary.'' 
 
 When the Malice was within close range of the Federation fleet, the battle with the large cube was nearly over, but the tides had turned, and much of the Federation fleet had been destroyed, when a new Federation ship, larger, faster, and more powerful than the rest arrived. `` That ship! What is it?'' he demanded. `` The name on her hull is... Enterprise, excellency.'' The Priallian science officer replied. `` Could it be? No, Kirk could not still live, could he?'' Singh wondered aloud. The communications officer spoke up `` The Enterprise is hailing that fleet, should we listen in?'' `` Yes. Let's hear it.'' Singh replied. The bridge speakers crackled, and then a distinctly European voice said `` This is Captain Picard of the Enterprise, I'm taking command of the fleet, focus all of your fire on these coordinates.'' Singh watched in wonder and amazement as the remaining Federation ships destroyed the mighty cube ship at last, then watched as the cube ship launched a spherical craft that disappeared in a shiny rift, followed by Enterprise. `` WHAT WAS THAT?'' he asked. `` WHAT WAS THAT? TELL ME NOW!'' `` It... it was some kind of temporal conduit!'' his science officer stammered. `` I've never seen anything like it!'' `` Temporal, time travel?'' He asked. `` Yes, my lord.'' she replied, `` I've saved our scans.'' `` I want all of the data on this temporal conduit, order the fleet to withdraw to our space, we have a new plan.'' `` What is that, if you do n't mind my asking?'' said an old, gravely voice from the back of the command center. `` Grandfather, we will use this technology, and all of the others we have developed, to go back to 1999, and seize Earth when and where it was rightfully ours!'' `` I'm proud of you Josef. If only your grandmother could have seen this.''
