Where do the Vulcans...[Spoilers]

What would you suggest they call it? There's no reason to call it anything but Vulcan, since all of its citizens *are* Vulcans. Where's the logic in changing the name? ;)
Ha! Nice one. I don't know. Would I blow your mind if I suggested Remus? (Plot music here: bum, bum, buuummmmm.)

Remus is not an option. There's only a small fraction of its surface that can support life, and even that is all dilithium mines.
 
^^ I think we had similar ideas. I was thinking, what if Romulans and Vulcans made peace and Vulcans are the ones who actually colonized Remus. I suppose the Romulans wouldn't be arch enemies and then .... My brain hurts.

Baba, come on -- you gotta love the irony.
 
But that's the thing. Remus could never support a colony. Not even a Vulcan one. I don't think it could even be terraformed. Remus is totally hostile to life except in that one little bit, and as I said, all that can be done there is mine dilithium.
 
Romulus prime (24th century Romulus) was destroyed by the supernova, and since Remus is practically next door, it's likely gone too.

The Romulus / Remus planets of the movie era are just fine. Pike even tried to say so before he had to eat alien sushi.
 
If Romulus was destroyed, there's probably a very good chance that Remus was, too. Weren't their orbits very close to one another?
 
There are a bunch of Vulcan colonies, so I'm sure that they have copies of their DNA archives there. By the TNG-that-never-was era they could number in the billions again.

Alternatively, they could use transphasic torpedoes and ablative armor to knock out the Romulan military and force all Romulans to become Vulcans.

Well Delta Vega was spitting distance from Vulcan and it seemed alright. Those black holes are surprisingly weak.

Romulus was destroyed by a supernova, not a black hole. Spock used the red matter to create the black hole that stopped said supernova from expanding any more than it already had.
 
Well well well...so the Vulcans have thumbed their noses at lesser, "illogical" races for centuries, held back technology from humans, and now they need our help huh? Look who's come crawling back!!

I'm kidding! It will be interesting to see who takes them in, although Spock Prime mentioned having found a planet suitable for a colony, but didn't say which one or whether it was already occupado...

Ceti Alpha V would be fine...just wait for VI to explode, and then the whole planet will be a barren, desert wasteland!! Perfect!!

Wow, well maybe Spock meant that only 10,000 of the people resident on Vulcan were left.

Since they mentioned Archer, ST-Ent is now the only series that is still intact in this timelineso what about that outpost they were using to spy on the Andorians.

I think they retconn that number in the next movie.
 
The males will just mate with human females.

I can imagine hundreds of Vulcan men hanging around outside the female dorms of Engineering schools all across Earth.

Joe, measured

Hey, if they can introduce red matter (technobabble) to save/destroy planets, I'm sure they can terra form (or some such technobabble) a planet that can't sustain much life.

I'm just talking pure writing. It'd be ironic and interesting.
