Pretty cut and dried then. Nope. Not even slightly. It's a possibility lens. You see a supernova occur in the future. So you fire antimatter torpedoes into the star that is going to go supernova. You keep doing that until the star stops going supernova. Hey Presto you are now in an alt reality where the supernova doesnt happen. A pocket reality you created. You can now hide in that reality.
The Orions come from the Orion star cluster where Betelgeuse is likely to go supernova (If it hasn't already). If the Orions had studied it, they might have realized they could use it to create an alt reality from which they could come and go where they prevented the Betelgeuse supernova. Boiler passing through that portal traps the Orions in the future where Tendi is a member of starfleet.
The Hobus Supernova can be considered a possible exit attempt by a civilization using such a device. Having prevented the supernova and isolated in their system they have chosen to exit back into reality at a point where they create the supernova. The rest of the civilization in still in the alt reality using a lens to stay in that reality while an unmanned probe exits into our reality triggering the supernova that will 'destroy the galaxy'.
Where would such a civilization be going? To a universe where humans dont exist? An antimatter universe? What happens if their lens fails? Do they get trapped in a wormhole that exits as a for between Cardassian space and the Gamma Quadrant and get worshiped as gods? Are they the Q?
