Well, it does make sense that if in 100 years or so of Starfleet she is the one and only mutineer ever. That sort of thing would make headlines. And it really does bother the ''semi-military'' Starfleet people that she not only ''did not follow orders'', but she went full blown ''munity''. And even if Command did not frame her, you'd still have the odd story of ''she was there, munity, and war started''. A LOT of people would connect the dots and say ''maybe if she had not staged a munity, then the Federation might not be at War''. A bit unfair, but that is the way people think.

I do kind of like the idea that the War is going badly for the Federation (like they did on DS9). It might make a good set up of for ''dystopia'': have the Federation ''fall'' a bit from ''super advanced'' 2017 awesome looking tech back to 1960's ''super unadvanced'' bad looking tech.

And maybe, just maybe the ''super teleporting space fungus'' has something to do with it. Like:

The Discovery causes some sort of disaster, ''a subspace fungus shockwave'' or such, that changes space/time for the Galaxy, so that everyone has to redesign all their tech...and make it look like the 1960's tech.

And this can fit into the Timeline nicely as nobody knows it has happened. But on ''June 1st'', suddenly things like Warp Drive either don't work or work much less efficiently. So everything has to be redesigned.

Though it is also possible the ''high ups'' know it happened too, but no common folk do.

Also, maybe the fungus will turn out to be intelligent...and open that can of mushrooms :).

Also, maybe we will get a super powerful alien race to come in and fix things. Not the Q, but maybe any of the other Original Series ones....maybe the Organians?
