Was Tuvok born on Vulcan?

I'm sorry if anybody actually read my spoiler without wanting to. I thought if I revealed it was from Trek XI, it would be too obvious. I fixed it.

We don't know exactly where that is, do we? We do know that Vulcan has no moon of course. So it can't be in Vulcan orbit. If it were, my spoiler would apply.

Well, the problem was always to reconcile what Spock said in TOS ("Vulcan has no moon") with the very obvious celestial bodies in Yesteryear and TMP (theater's cut). It may sound silly, but I always like the explanation from Spock's World: the bodies are Vulcan's sister planet (the name was T'Khut) and its moon (which name I can't remember), complete with the quote: "Well, techinally, Vulcan has no moon." "Damn right it doesn’t, it has a nightmare." So the Vulcanis Lunar Colony could be on that body, and everything would fit.
The fact that Vulcan had a twin planet could even be linked to why the Romulans choose a double planet to settle on: it would be the most similar to their own.

We've seen Vulcan, all big and red and shiny, it can't be destroyed...are you sure you don't mean Romulus? Coz I heard that went Kaboom...

People who have seen the movie at the places its already out have confirmed that Vulcan is destroyed in the film.

That works for me.

Well, yes but...

You may see Vulcan destroyed in the beginning, but that doesn't mean it can't be restored by "correcting" the timeline...

Would it be in the Mars?

No more spoilery Trek XI stuff in here. Go here for that.
Grrrr, I hate not being able to click spoiler buttons.

[Guy Gardener]

I don't know how it can be a spoiler if the movie is never, and I do mean NEVER going to get out of post?

Hey, but it's *extremely* important to Tuvie-fans to find a solution to this problem! ;-)

No the timeline isn't corrected in the movie its in an alternate timeline now and Abrmas isn't going to waste money setting this universe up just to do that this isn't the Berman era anymore.

Bermen derailed his own future already when they had Silik save Enterprise from it's destined annihilation in Coldfront which seems have minimized the bloody Earth Romulan War which scarred the human conciousness for the next hundred years had become barefly noticable border skirmish meaning that the coalition was founded from peaceful coexistence instead of the Federation being founded by by war buddies pooling cash to errect thousands of gun platforms along the neutral zone... But then it all course corrected somehow in time for These were the Voyages.

I always assumed it was a Vulcan colony on Earth's moon, Luna.

I dunno how canon promos are, but in the Home Promo for Voyager's final season Tuvok states his "home" as "Vulcan".

Home is where you make it, so if he at one time moved back to Vulcan, then Vulcan is his home.

But why would the Vulcans do that - build one of *their* colonies in *our* star system? Where's the...logic?

I mean, the Moon hasn't been terraformed, not even in the 24th century. Remember that DS9 ep with the Red Squad cadets? One of them lived on the Moon, and she said that you still needed suits to breathe on its surface. So why would the Vulcans go to all the trouble of building a colony there? If it was one of their own moons, then I can see it, but it's ours. So what would they be doing there?
