Spock (full name S'chn T'gai Spock) was a 24th century Vulcan man, an alternate version of Spock in the First Splinter timeline. Spock was a famed half-Vulcan/half-Human Starfleet officer who served the Federation in the 23rd and 24th centuries.

Spock's full name was revealed in TOS novel: Ishmael. In TOS episode: "This Side of Paradise", Spock said that his full name was unpronounceable to Humans.

In the mid-23rd century, Spock became known as the best first officer in Starfleet while diligently serving under Captain James T. Kirk's command on the USS Enterprise and the USS Enterprise-A, for over 30 years. By the end of the century, he was a starship commander in his own right, and quickly turned to following in his father, Sarek's, footsteps—first, as a diplomat and special envoy, and later, as an ambassador.

Throughout most of the 24th century, he worked in the Federation and in the Romulan Star Empire to bring about the Reunification of Vulcan and Romulus. (TNG episodes: "Unification", "Face of the Enemy", ST - Typhon Pact novels: Rough Beasts of Empire, Plagues of Night)

Biography

The original divergence event that created the First Splinter was during the 2373 mission against the Borg following the Battle of Sector 001. Spock's history prior to that point was identical to the prime timeline Spock. (TNG movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Star Trek: First Contact; ST - Coda novel: Oblivion's Gate)

Alternate timeline events

In 2373, Spock was called in to consult on the situation in the recently fallen Thallonian Empire. Spock had been in Thallonian space a decade earlier on a fact-finding mission about the reclusive Thallonians. Despite having to cut that mission short (so he could rescue a captured Vulcan woman named Soleta, and see her safely back to Federation space by way of a freighter named Qualor's Pride), Spock was still the Federation's greatest, living authority on Thallon, and thus his expertise was needed in the crisis. (NF novel: House of Cards, NF short story: "Out of the Frying Pan")

During the Dominion War, Spock used what influence he had on Romulus to convince the Romulans that it would be in their own best interests to join in the Federations war effort against the Dominion. (ST short story: "Blood Sacrifice")

After the end of the war in 2376, Spock and Ambassador Worf were on a shuttlecraft bound for Khitomer and a conference between the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans set to try and determine the future direction the Alpha Quadrant powers would take in the coming years, when Spock's consciousness was usurped by an ancient madman named Malkus. Spock had been exposed to one of the four Malkus Artifacts while serving with Kirk, and this made him susceptible to Malkus' influence. After Spock temporarily regained control of his mind, he initiated a mind meld with Worf in order to successfully fight Malkus' influence. (TNG - The Brave and the Bold, Book Two novella: The Final Artifact)

The Borg also attempted to assimilate Ambassador Spock in order to stop peace treaty negotiations between the Klingons and Romulans, however the timely intervention of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise-E prevented their success. Even though such an act would have been needless-given the fact that Spock's psyche still resonated fragments from a branch of the Collective-in the form of his old mind meld with V'Ger's Ilia/probe. (TNG video game: Armada, ST novel: The Return)

Later that year, Spock was sent in when the starship USS Excalibur encountered the entities known as the Beings, whom Spock had encountered before in the form of the being who claimed to be the Greek God Apollo, while serving aboard the Enterprise. At this time Spock had use of a Romulan Bird-of-paradise and flippantly mentioned having had lively debates with "Q". (NF novel: Gods Above)

Soon thereafter, Spock, Admiral Uhura, Admiral Pavel Chekov and Captain Montgomery Scott reunited in the face of a mystery involving the Romulans and a race called the Watraii. The Watraii affair made an already unstable situation in the Romulan hierarchy even worse. (ST - Vulcan's Soul novels: Exodus, Exiles, Epiphany; ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

Spock was on Romulus when the mad Reman Praetor Shinzon assassinated the Senate and attempted to seize power in late 2379. After Shinzon's death, the Romulan Empire fell into chaos. When the starship USS Titan arrived at Romulus two months later, Spock helped Captain William T. Riker negotiate an agreement between the Romulans, the Remans and the Klingons, who would act as the Remans protectors, that helped stabilize the area. (TNG movie & novelization: Star Trek: Nemesis; TTN novel: Taking Wing)

Spock later, in March of 2380, consulted with Federation President Nanietta Bacco on the Reman matter, and was sent by Bacco to Qo'noS with Federation Ambassador Alexander Rozhenko to plead the case of some Reman refugees who had requested asylum in the Federation. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

Soon after, Spock attended the opening of the Sarek School of Diplomacy and Ambassadorial Studies of Vulcan. After touring the facility, which Spock believed would "suffice", Spock accepted an invitation from fellow attendee Jean-Luc Picard let the Enterprise escort him to his next destination. During this trip, Spock spent time conversing with T'Lana, the ship's new Vulcan counselor, about his time on the original Enterprise, but the conversation proved unsatisfactory for T'Lana when she found herself unable to understand Spock's ability to reconcile his respect for Kirk with his acknowledgement of his former captain's illogical nature and his decisions to sometimes ignore Spock's suggested course of action.

Spock was onboard when an evolved Borg cube attacked Earth. When Picard defied orders to return to Sector 001 to defend Earth, believing that the Enterprise-E could better serve Earth's defense elsewhere, several of his crew decided to mutiny and take the Enterprise to Earth. Spock managed to avoid the mutineers and rigged the ship's computer so that the mutineers could not alter the ship's course.

After Picard resumed command, the Enterprise retrieved the ancient doomsday machine or "planet killer" weapon faced by Kirk and Spock in 2267 from the museum known as Trophy World, believing it to be the only hope of stopping the Borg. Picard assigned Spock, Enterprise chief engineer Geordi La Forge and former Borg drone Seven of Nine to re-activate the machine.

The "planet killer" could not destroy the cube, but when the Borg cube absorbed the "planet killer", it enabled Seven to introduce the so-called "Endgame virus" into the cube, which caused the cube to rapidly blow itself apart, ending the threat. Spock and his cohorts managed to escape from the "planet killer" just prior to its destruction.

Immediately after the Borg threat, Spock proposed a new General Order to the Admiralty, which read in part: "In the event of a suspected Borg incursion, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, after properly informing Starfleet, is to be allowed to act in whatever manner he sees fit to thwart said-incursion; without censure or threat of countermanding". (TNG novel: Before Dishonor)

2381 saw Spock return to Federation space and then make a formal request on stardate 59480.33 to the Federation Council; the request was for aid for his unification movement. (ST website: The Path to 2409) Also during this period, Ambassador Spock found himself in the midst of a propaganda campaign orchestrated by Praetor Tal'Aura in an effort to terminate the Imperial Romulan State. Tal'Aura arranged an assassination attempt upon Spock's life at the hands of a Reman assassin. Spock theorized that Donatra had been behind the attack in an effort to protect her Empire from a similar movement for reunification of the two Romulan Empires. Spock presented this theory to the Praetor who, in turn, made the reunification movement legal and extended to Spock a full visitors pass to the worlds of the Romulan Empire. His reunification movement benefited from this acknowledgement by the Romulan government and was able to recruit new members in large assemblies; however, Spock deduced the truth of Tal'Aura's plan when a rally quickly changed from being about Romulan/Vulcan reunification to being about the reunification of the Empire. Spock ordered the movement's leaders back into hiding for fear that they would soon become targets for arrest, even more so when the Imperial Romulan State was reabsorbed formally into the Empire.

Following Tal'Aura's death, Spock met with the new Praetor Gell Kamemor in 2382 about the reunification movement. While she saw it as being next to impossible, she agreed to honor Tal'Aura's original agreement with Spock. So long as he did not violate Romulan law, he was free to promote his unification agenda. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Rough Beasts of Empire) In 2383, Spock attended the memorial service for Montgomery Scott aboard the Enterprise-E. (TNG novel: Indistinguishable from Magic)

Having realized that his influence upon the Reunification Movement had reached its logical conclusion, Spock returned to the Federation in 2383 and accepted a position as the liaison between the USS Enterprise-E and the Eletrix during a joint exploration mission between vessels belonging to the Khitomer Accords and the Typhon Pact. During the mission, Spock served as an advisor to Captain Jean-Luc Picard and worked closely with Romulan Liaison Tomalak. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)

In 2385, Spock worked alongside the crew of the USS Prometheus to investigate the destruction of Starbase 91 and a Klingon dilithium mine. (ST - Prometheus novel: Fire with Fire)
