It is possible that [[Starfleet]] continued to use the ''Prometheus''-class design and the ''Nova''-class into the 25th to 26th century, the [[Klingon]]s continued to use the ''Vorcha''-class, and Starfleet liked the design of the ''Dauntless'', so they created one. Another theory is that, as the timeline began to degrade further (due to the events of the Temporal Cold War), these ships were pulled into battle from different points within the timestream.

Battle of Procyon V

In an alternate timeline, the Battle of Procyon V, fought in the 26th century over Procyon V, was the final battle in the invasion of the Sphere Builders, in which the transdimensional aliens' encroachment into the Milky Way Galaxy was turned back by the forces of the Federation, led by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J). Daniels brought Jonathan Archer forward in time from the 22nd century to this battle, in order to convince him of the need to make peace between the Xindi and the Humans. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Background

There is no explanation as to why a Prometheus-class starship, a Nova-class starship, a Vor'cha-class starship, and a starship similar to the fake Federation starship USS Dauntless are present at this battle.

It is possible that Starfleet continued to use the Prometheus-class design and the Nova-class into the 25th to 26th century, the Klingons continued to use the Vorcha-class, and Starfleet liked the design of the Dauntless, so they created one. Another theory is that, as the timeline began to degrade further (due to the events of the Temporal Cold War), these ships were pulled into battle from different points within the timestream. Some fans also believe that several "old" (24th century Starships) were kept in storage, slowly upgraded to keep with the times, in case a large fleet was needed quickly against an alien race

In reality, the producers probably added the ships as an inside joke or assumed that most viewers wouldn't notice. It is also possible that older and relatively obscure models were preferred in order to save time and money for a relatively short sequence.
