Clever setup, but I feel like this kind of thing has been covered by Voyager, no? cut off from Federation, etc.
^ That would be something I'd kill to see!!!! 
Damn, he didn't skip any meals in the wormhole, did he?
Explanation about Vulcan subculture for every male born there is a female counterpart. When Spock the man is killed in the upcoming movie, his counterpart (if she, always opposite gender btw has opportunity to be in possession of his katra) can take over his functional roles as if she were him all along. It's a Vulcan tights issue, an embarrassment to the Vulcan image most want you to see since the counter culture are not as prone to emotionless logic. With Ms Perrette's triumphs in the past to go on, she should bring an interesting twist to the character.
Star Trek: The Adventures of Captain Sulu
In the early twenty-fourth century, the face of the galaxy changed drastically with the monumental signing of the Khitomer Accords, the catastrophic Tomed Incident, and second isolation period of the Romulan Empire.
At the forefront of Starfleet is Captain Demora Sulu (played by Ming-Na Wen), commanding the U.S.S. Enterprise-B, leading her crew through the murky waters and into a brighter future...

Loved her in Eureka, although that is the only thing I recall seeing her in. The actress is in her early fifties, are we going for more of Picard and less of a Kirk here?
Considering what's come before, would a first season Kirk be a better fit for Demora Sulu, than a post third season Picard?
Good question. I'd see her leaning more towards Kirk, with an adventurers spirit (which began with the stories her father used to tell her) and an ends-justify-the-means mentality at times, but it has been reigned in and tempered by age and experience.
I love her in everything she's done. She also has such a great voice that is put across such depth, feeling and sincerity, she would definitely have moments when she'd embody Picard's 'elder statesperson' and solve things with words over violence.
She'd be a stepping stone between the two.

I wonder if that could be made to work with a fraternal twin sister (if he has a older half brother, why not a twin sister?), Vulcan multiple births are telepathically joined in the womb and experience a link thoughout their lives. She would recieve a partial "copy" of Spock's katra when he dies, but wouldn't have the difficulties encountered by Doctor McCoy. More a download of his knowledge and skills, almost none his personality and life experiences. It wouldn't be like Dax.
Perrette would bring with her large numbers of NCIS viewers, at least for the first several episodes. Some certainly would stay, and this would boost the new shows initial ratings.
Not to be rude or incline on that who egotism that humanity is known for but as far as The United Federation of Planets is concerned, the Earth falling to a powerful force is indeed the END ALL BE ALL for the Federation.
Like T-Girl mentioned above, the Federation is essentially the clothspin that holds all the core worlds and systems aligned as it was depicted in the first 150 years of the Federation that it was Earth that was chosen to be the massive port for Military opperations for the new aligned government for all it's people's (from even a contextual point of view this makes sense since according to Enterprise Starfleet was the massive military organization that existed before the Federation existed).
What was the main form of military or military-like organization in the United Federation of Planets even all the way to the end of the Dominion War and beyond?
STARFLEET.
Starfleet still is home to many of ships, troop deployment facilities, along with Mars it is the largest base of Starfleet ever. Since Mars and Earth are right next door to each other it makes sense that maybe Mars would go first.
Remember despite Starfleet being a military organization for Alpha Quadrant species, it still isn't that large and if the Dominion attacked it head on with no trouble and an entire fleet it could be taken down with ease with 4/5 of the ships of the fleet being destroyed.
The last time somebody talked to us about their opinion on humanity, we got a time travel movie about whales.
1. Star Trek: Titan, the Animated Series. Could use the original cast or sound-alikes for Riker and Troi. Could easily handle the diverse cast of characters without breaking a poor actor's heart with endless butt-in-makeup-chair. Could easily avoid the worry about cheap and cheesy CGI. Could be made for 1/5 the budget of a TNG episode. Could easily handle the one thing Trek on TV or film has never been able to really pull off, namely the sheer possibilities of the universe.
2. Star Trek: Early Years, the Animated Series. Noticing a trend? All the same money saving perks as above. Only this series would feature the crew of another Federation ship in the early days of the Federation. Those awkward times when the militaries are still integrating, when ships and systems and command structures are wildly diverse but expected to conform to one unified ethos. Heavy focus on the Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites getting used to working together long-term in confined spaces. Could definitely draw on the cast of ENT for voice actors and characters. Seeing Shran as the security chief or the captain of a Fed ship would be amazing.
3. Star Trek: Future Something, the Animated Series. Again with the money saving animation. Put this one 100 years into the future of TNG, just as TNG was set 100 years into the future of TOS. New species, new planets, new threats... you get the idea.
My ideal new Trek series? These. Right there.

^ If it was for broadcast, it could be dicey dealing with ratings and network interference. But Marvel and DC have both shown that straight-to-retail animation is commercially viable. And as I understand it, a short anime series can be produced for as little as $1 million. I'm sure there would enough interested Trek fans to cover that. And as animation is considered a specialist market, Paramount wouldn't have to be paranoid about "diluting the brand".
Other than the Trois I'd like to see an all-original cast, rather than the one in the books, to offer greater flexibility, though just as (if not more) diverse.
In my mind, this is what ENT should have been, they really missed a trick there. Especially in the aftermath of the Romulan Wars, it would be a time of great change for all the races involved. Plus Shran as Captain would be great to see! It could also retcon TATV, which is probably the best thing they could do to ENT.
This would allow the greatest freedom for the creatives behind it, they get to invent lots of history and how things have changed over the decades. I would say however, avoid basing it on the Enterprise if at all possible and definitely have humans in the minority.
