History
According to a status display in the office of Admiral Alexander Marcus, the new name of the Vulcan government - with New Vulcan as its capital - is the Confederacy of Surak. In 2259, following the attack on Helios-1, New Vulcan came under attack by the Gorn who kidnapped Surok to get the Helios device. After the USS Enterprise pushed the gorn back, Surok's daughter T'Mar was returned to New Vulcan. Spock sent a message to New Vulcan and spoke with his counterpart from the future, Spock. Young Spock asked his older self if he had ever encountered Khan in his timeline and how Khan could be defeated. Older Spock replied that Khan was the most dangerous enemy they had ever encountered, and that Khan was eventually defeated—"at great cost."

During this time Ambassador Spock had died in January of 2263. Following the destruction of the USS Enterprise at Altamid in the same year , Spock and Nyota Uhura took a sabbatical to Sarek's home. There, Spock assisted the Vulcan High Council in establishing New Vulcan's Science Academy. However, Spock and Uhura asked the High council for D'Kyr-class cruiser to assist the USS Endeavour in dealing with the Borg.(TOS - Boldly Go comics: "Issue 1", "Issue 2")
