    Would they? It seems like time travel is always a case of ‘anything could happen’ in Star Trek.

      There had to have been more of the Temporal Cold War than we saw. First contact seems like a pretty big potential single point of failure for the temporal integrity of the Federation. I think it’s very unlikely that more people haven’t tried to mess with it. And actual agents of the War, like Daniel’s faction would probably have records of historical time travel, or they wouldn’t know what to fix

        I would think messing with Earth before it even got to the point of first contact would make more sense. Don’t leave it until the last minute. Make WWIII last twice as long and kill five times as many people so that Earth is reduced to total barbarism.

          And then Kirk, Janeway, and for some reason Mirror Picard will appear on your doorstep and you’ll learn about war crimes you wouldn’t even dare to dream about.

          I’m pretty sure that’s the entirety of Wesley Crusher’s job after TNG.
