The ambassador piloted an advanced space craft equipped with red matter and proceeded to the star to carry out his mission, but before he could, the star's effect destroyed Romulus.
With other worlds threatened with destruction, Spock continued his mission and successfully created a black hole which consumed the supernova. Before he could escape, however, he was intercepted by the Romulan mining vessel Narada , commanded by Nero.

Nero was waiting for Spock when he arrived, and he and the Jellyfish were captured. Rather than kill Spock, Nero marooned him on Delta Vega , where he could witness the destruction of Vulcan from the planet's surface. Nero then used some of the red matter from the Jellyfish to create a black hole in Vulcan's planetary core ; Spock watched helplessly from Delta Vega as his homeworld was destroyed.

Using his torch to scare the animal off, once out of danger Spock looked at the still-shocked Human, and realized just who he had rescued: one James Tiberius Kirk , who had been marooned on the planet by that era's Spock for mutiny. The elder Spock was surprised that Kirk, who didn't believe him, he had dismissed Spock's self-identification, and claim of lifelong friendship, as "bullshit" was not captain of the Enterprise - but at the mention of Nero, young Kirk decided he just might be telling the truth.
Through a mind meld, Spock explained to Kirk his presence in this time period and the reasons behind Nero's history-changing actions told that, in addition to Kirk and himself, the counterparts of Dr. McCoy , Uhura , Chekov and Sulu - all but one of the six officers who had once risked their careers to save him - were all serving aboard the Enterprise , Spock deduced that the timeline was attempting to "repair" itself. He then walked with Kirk to a nearby Federation outpost, where they met the one member of their core group not yet aboard the ship, Montgomery Scott , whom Spock had previously avoided but whose presence he now viewed as more evidence of his timeline theory.
Using Scotty's equation for transwarp beaming which Scott had not actually figured out yet , Spock was able to transport Kirk back to the Enterprise along with Scott.

There, he met his less-than-surprised younger self Kirk had kept his word, but upon being recognized by the Jellyfish , the most advanced spacecraft he had ever seen, and discovering it was built in , young Spock deduced who must have assisted him , convincing him to remain in Starfleet. He also explained that the reason he did not return to the Enterprise with Kirk to explain things was that he did not wish to deprive Kirk and Spock of the chance of working together and developing the friendship they were destined to have.

Although he had a brief conversation with his father during the trip, when he attempted to speak up in the council to warn them against establishing the new Vulcan on Ceti Alpha V, he was informed that, for his role in Nero's attack, he was stripped of his rights as a citizen and was therefore not considered a Vulcan by the Council.
With Vulcan no longer an option, Spock travelled to Romulus in an attempt to initiate the peace process that he had played in back in his own reality, but was captured by the Romulans and accused of trying to destroy Romulus early based on the words of the last two survivors of Nero's crew.
Fortunately, he was able to escape with the aid of a Romulan resistance movement led by Pardek , allowing him to make contact with the Vulcan fleet- still heading for Ceti Alpha V despite his warning- and warn them that the Romulans were coming, intending to use the last of the red matter to destroy the fleet.

In , the Romulans put their Second History project into motion, interfering in human history at a key moment, and ensuring that the United Federation of Planets never came into being. However the results were not what the Romulans intended.
While the Federation did not exist in the timeline, the Vulcans were still powerful, and able to keep the Romulans in check. The Vulcans helped humanity get back on their feet following a devastating war. James T. Kirk served on the ship as an Ensign , whose career was sidelined after he was convicted of murder while in the Academy.

TOS novel : Killing Time. Spock was portrayed in The Original Series as an officer with two specialties, as both the Enterprise first officer and science officer. To this end, he ended up wearing multiple uniforms over the years, as the different colored uniforms showed the different specialties.
As a science officer, Spock wore the blue tunic of a member of the sciences division in his first appearance in TOS episode : " The Cage ", but had already begun to work as an executive command division in his dual position as second officer , being third in command of the ship.
To show this, he wore the verdant-gold tunic of a command division officer, even though he was still also the science officer. The uniform style of the era had no different sleeve insignia for any officer grade, so his rank stripes had not changed any by this point.
In later appearances following TOS episode : " The Corbomite Maneuver ", he would switch back to his blue sciences uniform despite maintaining both the science and command positions.
The uniform style evolved into a slightly different tunic and rank stripe in the mid- s with that episode, but with similar color codes, in that science officers still wore blue and commanding personnel still wore greenish-gold.
Spock apparently could have worn gold but instead stayed with blue. At this point, an irregularity could be observed in Spock's uniform wear. He was referred to as a lieutenant commander for much of the first year of TOS , but he wore the insignia of a full commander.
