Corrected entry: How is it that the battle between the Vengeance and the Enterprise took place for so long without anyone on Earth providing assistance? Shouldn't Starfleet have some sort of planetary defense contingency against a starship (or fleet of them) appearing within the Earth's orbit?

Corrected entry: Scotty entered the Jupiter construction site of the USS Vengeance without anyone noticing. Given that the base was a top secret facility run by Section 31, it is highly unlikely that it wouldn't have security system on high alert monitoring all approaching ships. And Scotty didn't know ahead of time what he was looking for, so it's not likely he would have had the foresight to mask his approach.

Correction: Admiral Marcus was still in command of the Vengeance during the initial battle; he had the authority to order all ships to stand down - something he would need to do so that no one could come to the aid of the Enterprise.
