Other scenes used in the opening credits come from earlier Star Trek productions, including the launch of the Phoenix (from Star Trek: First Contact), a shot of several torpedoes striking a building (from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Dragon's Teeth"), the destruction of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey (from the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Expanse"), an assault by a team of MACO troops (from the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Xindi"), and a battle between Enterprise and the Xindi, as well as the destruction of the Rigellian Scout Ship by the Romulan Drone (disguised as Enterprise).
These credits also show scenes from different properties belonging to Paramount Pictures, including The Hunt for Red October (of the Konovalov firing a torpedo), The Sum of All Fears (of the three missiles against a sunlit background), Call to Glory, and The Jacket. The animated logo of the Terran Empire includes an Earth rotating the opposite way.
