*** Bonus BigDamnHeroes because the entire reason the technology of the reboot focuses on volume of fire over individual high-power phaser attacks is ''because'' of Nero's attack on the ''Kelvin'' in the beginning of the film. Making ''Enterprise''`s entire ability to destroy Nero's assault the result of George Kirk's sacrifice, and the data on the ''Kelvin''`s destruction able to reach Starfleet.
