Nero, captain of the Narada, captures the Jellyfish and maroons Spock on Delta Vega so he can observe the destruction of Vulcan. (Star Trek)
• James T. Kirk takes the Kobayashi Maru test for the third time, but this time he manages to secretly install a sub-routine which changes the conditions of the test, thereby allowing Kirk to save the Kobayashi Maru and beat the test, becoming the only cadet to ever beat the no-win scenario.
• The USS Enterprise is launched from Riverside Shipyard under the command of Captain Christopher Pike in response to a distress call from Vulcan. The Enterprise hasn't even been christened yet, as of the nature of the distress call. (Star Trek)

• The Enterprise and seven other Federation starships, including the USS Farragut, proceed to Vulcan, but Hikaru Sulu, who replaces helmsman McKenna after McKenna falls ill, forgets to release the main external dampener. He releases it and they proceed to Vulcan, but a couple of minutes behind the other ships. (Star Trek)
• They arrive only to find a debris field of the fleet, and the Narada hovering over Vulcan with a drilling platform in the lower atmosphere attempting to mine to the core. Nero orders the destruction of the Enterprise, only to realize what vessel he is firing on. (Star Trek)
• Nero is first seen by the Federation and tells Spock that he wants him to see something as well as order Captain Pike to come aboard the Narada, just like he told Robau to 25 years earlier.

Spock explains the situation to Kirk via a Mind Meld and they head for the Starfleet outpost 14km away. (Star Trek)

He and Kirk along with Pike are transported away at the last second by the Enterprise, but the Jellyfish crashes into the Narada thereby igniting the red matter and causing a massive black hole, which consumes the Narada, and very nearly the Enterprise as well.
