Actually, I think tha STO is in the original timline, the new Star Trek movies are the alternate timeline.
Original timeline Romulus gets wiped by a supernova.
New alt timline, Nero goes back in time and destroys Vulcan.
Because, you know, that whole supernova thing was clearly Spock's fault.

To Nero it was, and to be fair, Spock did mess up.
Anyway, you're right, kind of. From what I recall this is set during the same time as when the time-travel that sets off the new timeline takes place, so it's kind of a prequel to the new timeline but taking place in the ol-- You know what, I don't care. It's an MMO, canon doesn't mean much. You're right.

Well, I doubt they're doing anything with the TNG side of the universe again, so storywise the stuff here may as well be canon. I'm just going off what they wrote in the comic book prequels to the last movie - which actually covered the Spock Prime story a bit better than the movie did.
I did scratch my head at Data's return, but then I remember they left an opportunity wide open at the end of Nemesis for his revival.

STO is the original timeline. It's not a prequel in an alternate universe; it's the same universe as Shatner Kirk and Picard, but decades after TNG. Spock is gone, and Vulkan was destroyed, but it's all the original timeline.
Also, is Data remade from B4?
As for this game, I really want to give it a go just to experience a Galaxy, Intrepid, Sovereign, and now Odyssey class starships.

I have such a nerd boner reading this thread. I think if I ever played this game I would never leave my house again.
Consider the hueg amount of Vice Admirals, you can guarantee that this ship will be common as much for quite some time.

Star Trek Online takes place in the "prime" universe. Aka the universe all of the shows and movies prior to the reboot take place in (AKA: Every TV series and all Star Trek movies from the original up to Star Trek Nemesis). This universe isnt affected at all by the events of the most recent movie... meaning Vulcan still exists and is fine, however Romulus is a giant pile of space dust now.
It's a continuation of the original universe after Spock and Nero vanish into the black hole anomaly that sends those two characters into the past/alternate reality that births the new Trek movie we saw in 2009.
The reason Data is around again is basically a retcon for his shitty death in Star Trek Nemesis. There's a shorthand explanation that LaForge and some Federation scientists were able to dig into B4's positronic network and reactivate Data (since Data copied his memory into B4 before the end of Nemesis). This essentially overwrote B4 and brought back Data, and since Picard stepped down from commanding the Enterprise to become the new Ambassador to Vulcan (remember when he mind-melded with Spock's father?) that allowed Data to be promoted.
