I have the TNG-style uniforms ready to go, but I'd have to experiment and work on new uniforms.
I think they're going to be more pissed that a single ISD is going to vaporize their entire heroic empire, so choice of uniforms is hardly that big of a deal.
Sadly, the pre-wolf incident with Picard mouthing off to Q would have made a perfect 'act of plot' reason for why there's an ISD headed towards Earth. Since you wanted to avoid that though, I'd just ignore it. A minor bit of continuity shouldn't really matter too much. Hell, feel free to have the Romulans, Breen, Klingons, Tholians and future-trek Timeships come and try to stop the thing before it slags Earth, it won't matter. No number of them would really add up to anything anyway. Plus, it'd be interesting to see wings of Bird of Prey fleeing from TIE fighters.
