I just noticed that Captain Tersal has a classic TNG uniform. I wonder what that means for her timeline. Did Tersal also come from 2382 (just her timeline kept the TNG uniforms), has the ship been in service a long time without a uniform change, or is the Endeavour from a few years in the past?

A closer look at the uniform shows it isn’t the TNG uniform or any one we’ve seen previously. It has the TNG combadge, but there are highlights on the shoulders and cuffs at the end of the sleeves.

After more research, there’s different frames than the one Memory Alpha has for Captain Tersal that confirm that at least the upper part of the uniform is a normal TNG uniform and the highlights were just lightning. The cuffs are different, but that could be personal choice - she is the captain after all.

Actually kind of disappointing - they could have thrown in the abandoned uniforms for Generations as sort of a nod to the inspiration for the LD uniforms.

I think those highlights might just be shading. It feels like a bit of a stretch to say the captain is just Mariner-ing her cuffs, though.
