Spock (mirror)


 * For the regular universe counterpart, see Spock.

The mirror universe Spock, the son of Sarek, was born on Vulcan in 2230. In 2249, Spock decided to enter service as an officer of the Terran Empire.

Spock never wanted to have command forced upon him, so when James T. Kirk assassinated Christopher Pike and assumed command of the ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2264, Spock supported him. Over the next three years Kirk and Spock served many campaigns together and become allies.

The First Crossover
In 2267, the Empire ordered the Enterprise to negotiate for dilithium with the Halkans. Should negotiations fail then Kirk is ordered to conquer Halka, destroy the Halkans and obtain the dilithium.

After negotiations failed, Kirk, McCoy, Scott, and Uhura, beamed back to the Enterprise. However, due to magnetic storm interference they were transposed with their primary universe counterparts from the USS Enterprise.

James T. Kirk delayed the destruction of Halka, but Spock was ordered by Command to ensure that Kirk carries out his orders in 12 hours, or Spock was to kill Kirk and assume command, but was the only man with the decency to warn Kirk. Eventually Spock and Marlena Moreau learned that the landing party wasn't their own team, but counterparts from another universe, and they help the landing party return home. Before beaming out Kirk urged Spock to use his influence to try to bring civilization to the barbaric alternate universe. Spock answered simply, "Captain Kirk, I shall consider it." (TOS episode novelization: "Mirror, Mirror", Star Trek 3).


 * From this point on various novels and episodes have tried to explain what Spock did or didn't achieve in the Mirror Universe. We can assume that the following adventures take part in different realities, to explain for the different stories.

The Glass Empires Universe
Spock became emperor of the Terran Empire in 2277 by killing Hoshi Sato III (The Sorrows of Empire). In 2375, $𝜇$ shows holovids of this event to $𝜇$. By the 2370s, most believe the Terran Republic fell because of Spock's weakness as a leader, although some remain dedicated to imposing his reforms. (TNG novel: The Worst of Both Worlds; DS9 novel: Saturn's Children)

In 2371, $𝜇$ wondered what would have happened if Kirk had killed Spock, instead of the other way around. (TNG novel: The Worst of Both Worlds)

The Mirror Universe Saga Universe
In this reality Spock ignored Kirk's advice and continued to serve aboard the ISS Enterprise as first officer under Captain Kirk.

In 2286, the ISS Enterprise managed to cross-over into the primary universe as the vanguard of an invasion force. After attacking Starbase 13 and the USS Courageous, they then encountered the USS Excelsior, under the command of Captain Styles. Using their advanced weaponry and technology, the Excelsior began to cause the Enterprise to flee, but when Spock discovers the Klingon Bird of Prey in tow behind Excelsior, Kirk has Spock tap into the Bird of Prey's computer controls, and Spock activates the Bird of Prey's weapons which they fire point blank at Excelsior, disabling the vessel and allowing the Enterprise crew to board and capture Excelsior, which was also carrying the former crew of the USS Enterprise back to Earth.

After Kirk and Spock examine Excelsior's computer banks, and finding that the Federation had completed one working model of the Genesis Device and that the Genesis effect regenerated Spock's counterpart, Kirk sends Spock (along with Sulu and Chekov to Vulcan aboard the stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Upon arrival on Vulcan, Spock encounters Sarek and T'Lar, who are astounded to see Spock.  Spock mentions to Sarek that in Spock's universe, he couldn't prevent Sarek's death at the hands of the Empire.  Spock then neck pinches Sarek into unconsciousness.  When T'Lar begins to speak to Spock, she is stunned by Sulu, who is then reprimanded by Spock, who tells Sulu that the elder would have posed no threat to Spock.  Just then, Amanda comes outside and when Spock begins to speak to her, as she approaches Spock, Sulu stuns her as well. This angers Spock and he tells Sulu that he is fortunate that Amanda is not permanently harmed. Spock then applies Sulu's agonizer and orders Chekov to repeat the process when Sulu awakens. Spock carries Amanda inside, then he walks over to his counterpart. Spock then begins a mind meld to see if his counterpart is capable of travel, and then Spock reaches up and melds with his counterpart as the meld becomes a battle to overcome each other. During the meld, the primary Spock manages to restore his fractured mind using the mirror Spock's ordered mind as a template, and the mirror Spock was freed of an irrational hatred of his counterpart and all he stood for and he was then ready to help save the primary universe and join David Marcus's resistance movement against the Empire. (TOS comic collection: The Mirror Universe Saga).

The Dark Mirror Universe
In the Dark Mirror universe, Spock followed Kirk's advice. He did not kill Kirk, but was transferred off the Enterprise and became a power at Starfleet Command, rising to the admiralty while arguing for reforms but was then set up on treason charges and executed in 2279, some twelve years after the transporter accident. Following Spock's death the Terran Empire continued into the 24th century and attempted to invade the primary universe in 2367. (TNG novel: Dark Mirror).

The Dark Passions Universe
In the Dark Passions timeline Spock was reported killed fighting the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the Mutara sector. Spock's Shrine was erected on $𝜇$: a sphere balanced on a tiny fulcrum (ST duology: Dark Passions). May or may not have been Fragile Glass or Stargazer: Three universe.

The Spectre Universe
In the Mirror Universe Trilogy, Intendant Spock relates to Kirk that he spent ten years following the transporter accident planning his rise to power. After overthrowing Tiberius in 2277, he abolished the title of emperor and instituted reforms allowing each of the occupied worlds to select a representative on the newly-formed Imperial Senate. The Senate met for the first time ten months later and elected Spock to a five-year term as the Empire's Commander-in-Chief because of the reforms he proposed. (TOS novels: Spectre, Dark Victory, and Preserver).
