Welcome back to the Star Trek Villain Showdown as it heads towards the ultimate final face-off between Khan and Gul Dukat !

Before we get to the epic battle between those two nefarious foes, we’re showcasing a few honorable mentions who kept our Federation crews on their toes. There’s the fanatical Kai Winn Adami who wreaked havoc on Deep Space 9 along with Gul Dukat. We also got Spock’s wayward half-brother Sybok . Now we’re diving into the Kelvin timeline to meet the Romulan miner turned vengeful captain, Nero , and his sole mission to destroy Spock’s home world and family.

Who Was Nero?

Nero , portrayed menacingly by the brilliant Eric Bana, opens Star Trek (2009) at the helm of the Romulan mining vessel turned warship the Narada as it emerges from a black hole and immediately launches a vicious assault on the Federation ship the U.S.S. Kelvin .

Upon learning the stardate—2233—and discovering Captain Robau ’s lack of knowledge of Ambassador Spock , Nero lashes out and kills Robau in anger. As the Narada continues its full-scale attack on the Kelvin , the now acting captain George Kirk sacrifices his life by plotting a collision course with the Narada in order to give the 800 survivors of the crew, including his wife Winona and newborn son James T. Kirk , a fighting chance at escape and survival.

Why Was Nero Searching for Spock?

Nero arrives in 2233 through the black hole from over 150 years in the future. Following his assault on the Kelvin , Nero and his vessel waited another 25 years before the arrival of Ambassador Spock, providing him ample time to sit with grief over the loss of his wife, unborn son, and home planet Romulus.

In the year 2387, Nero, off-world on a mining expedition, faced the destruction of his family and Romulus due to an adjacent supernova. Ambassador Spock, in his Vulcan Science Academy Jellyfish vessel, attempted to neutralize the supernova’s effects with a black hole created with red matter. However, Spock was unsuccessful in reaching Romulus before its annihilation.

Nero directs his all-consuming rage towards Spock, who had sought to mitigate disaster, and the Federation, who did not aid in the dying planet’s evacuations. Unbeknownst to Nero, former admiral Jean Luc Picard left the Federation to command a rescue armada to aid in the evacuation of 18 billion Romulans off their planet, as explained on Star Trek: Picard ’s “Remembrance .”

Nero’s Incursion Creates an Alternate Timeline — The Kelvin Timeline

The crew aboard the U.S.S. Kelvin were not familiar with the Romulans as first visual contact with the race would not occur until 2266, as seen in The Original Series ’ “ Balance of Terror ” episode.

The singularity event pulls Nero and his crew on the Narada , as well as Spock and his Jellyfish , into its red matter-created black hole, sending them into the past. While Nero arrives in 2233, Ambassador Spock finds himself in 2258, setting up a time paradox with the younger Commander Spock , first officer to Captain Christopher Pike , aboard the not yet christened U.S.S. Enterprise .

It’s Nero’s actions in 2233 that trigger the creation of an alternate reality, dubbed the "Kelvin" timeline, changing course and the history for the Federation and the last of the Romulan Empire’s present future in the Prime Universe.

The Assault on Earth and Vulcan

In order to inflict the same amount of pain onto his adversary Spock, Nero seeks to punish the half-Vulcan, half-human ambassador by having him witness the destruction of his two home worlds — Vulcan and Earth. Nero believes destroying Vulcan and the Federation will ensure a future for Romulus, one where they are the ultimate power in the universe.

When Ambassador Spock arrives in 2258, Nero and his crew are ready to intercept. Marooning the elder Spock to Delta Vega, Nero forces him to witness the destruction of Vulcan with Spock’s supply of red matter.

As the Federation dispatched several starships to aid the Vulcan planet, Nero spots the Enterprise and wants the younger Spock, of the Kelvin timeline, to witness Vulcan’s destruction and know it was brought by his hands as well.

The Enterprise is unsuccessful in thwarting Vulcan’s destruction, as the red matter created a black hole at the center of the planet. This caused the planet to implode on itself. Both the young and elder Spock face the mass genocide of their people, including the loss of their mother, Amanda Grayson .

It is Nero’s deep desire to attack Spock’s people and planet that ultimately cements his short-lived present. Now on the radar of both the Federation and the U.S.S. Enterprise , Pike, Spock, George Kirk’s son Jim , and the rest of the crew will stop at nothing to stop Nero from doing what he did to Vulcan to Earth and other Federation planets. It’s this narrow-minded pursuit to kill Spock that has Nero and the Narada engulfed by the red matter he sought to exploit when he attempts to destroy Earth. Refusing aid from Captain Kirk and the Enterprise after his ship is fatally damaged, Nero declares he’d rather witness Romulus suffer a thousand times and goes down with his ship.

Holding a Mirror to Spock

In Star Trek (2009), Nero and his actions present a treacherous mirror of the Romulans to Spock and Vulcans. In fact, Romulans and Vulcans descended from the same ancestry ; Romulans are distant cousins from Vulcans who rejected Surak and his teachings that led Vulcans to master their emotions via logic. Those who rebuked those teachings would become what we now know as Romulans. The Romulans were a very moral people with an absolutist view of what’s right or wrong. As such, they were incredibly xenophobic and isolationists, which was why and how they went unnoticed by the Federation for as long as they did.

In the film, both Nero and Spock grapple with the loss of their loved ones and witness the destruction of their entire home worlds. However, how they react to the all-consuming grief and despair sets them both on mirrored paths. While Nero pursues the road of narrow-minded revenge, both the young and elder Spock head down the path of hope and survival, ensuring their Vulcan history and the remaining surviving Vulcans can rebuild an enduring future.

Biography [ ]

Nero was a Romulan miner originating from the late 24th century, and captain of the mining vessel Narada . Following the destruction of Romulus in 2387 caused by a star going supernova, he sought vengeance against those he felt were responsible, ultimately resulting in him being sucked in by a black hole and transported back in time to the year 2233. Nero's actions in the past resulted in the creation of an alternate reality. In this reality, his actions led to the destruction of the USS Kelvin as well as the deaths of its two senior officers, Captain Richard Robau and Lieutenant Commander George Kirk. George Kirk's death altered the upbringing of his son James T. Kirk who, in this timeline, did not join Starfleet until 2255.

In 2258, Nero was responsible for the destruction of the alternate reality's Vulcan, which resulted in the deaths of the majority of the Vulcan race, including Spock's mother Amanda Grayson. He also attempted to destroy this timeline's Earth, but his plot was foiled by Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise . Nero apparently died when Spock caused the Jellyfish , a small ship carrying red matter, to collide with the Narada , creating a black hole in the center of the Romulan ship. Kirk gave Nero and his crew the chance to be saved, but Nero viciously refused the offer. Kirk then ordered his crew to fire upon the ship as it was being sucked into the black hole. As Nero watched his ship being sucked into the black hole while being blasted by the Enterprise, he accepted his fate and closed his eyes as his ship was sucked in, killing him and his crew and avenging the deaths of Robau, George Kirk, Amanda Grayson, and the numerous Vulcans involved in the destruction of Vulcan.

Nero

  • Russell Crowe was considered for the role of Nero before Bana was cast. In fact, Crowe and Bana were director JJ Abrams' only two choices for the role. [1] [2]
  • Eric Bana was a big fan of the original Star Trek series growing up. [3]
  • Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci named Nero after the Roman emperor of the same name, as a nod to the Roman inspirations of the Romulans. [4]
  • In the script of  Star Trek , Nero seemed significantly more compassionate to Humans than he is in the final version of the film, at one point commenting, "It's not the fault of the human race that Starfleet chose Earth as its center. You're a more noble race than my fallen cousins. I'll take no pleasure in your extinction." The script also had Nero kill Ayel prior to the Battle of Earth, and Nero's scripted last words were "Forgive me... Romulus..." [5]
  • In a deleted scene, Nero is interrogated by a Klingon  on the prison planet Rura Penthe, and escapes. This sequence also contains Nero's line, "The wait is over.", as seen in trailers for the film. [6] [7]
  • When writer Cameron Crowe saw a rough cut of the film, he kept asking who played the villain, being staggered to realize that this was Eric Bana.

Quotes 

James T. Kirk : Your ship is compromised, too close to the singularity to survive without assistance, which we are willing to provide.

Spock : [speaking privately]  Captain, what are you doing?

James T. Kirk : Showing them compassion may be the only way to earn peace with Romulus. It's logic, Spock. I thought you'd like that.

Spock : No, not really. Not this time.

Nero : [replying to the offer of assistance]  I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony than accept assistance from you.

James T. Kirk : You got it! Arm phasers. Fire everything we've got!

[as the Narada pursues Spock, he suddenly whips the ship around and heads directly for it] 

Nero : What's he doing?

Spock's Ship's Computer : Ambassador Spock, you are on a collision course.

Nero : [panicking]  FIRE EVERYTHING!

Nero : James T. Kirk was considered to be a great man. He went on to captain the U.S.S. Enterprise... but that was another life. A life I will deprive you of just like I did your father!

Christopher Pike : I'm Captain Christopher Pike. To whom am I speaking?

Nero : Hi, Christopher. I'm Nero.

Nero : That ship. Take it out.

Romulan : Sir, if you ignite the Red Matter...

Nero (ST11)

After the destruction of Romulus in 2387 , Nero took his ship, the Narada , which had been upgraded with Borg technology, to attack the Federation , which he blamed for failing to help save his homeworld from the Hobus supernova . He destroyed dozens of ships, as well as a Klingon fleet led by General Worf , whom he nearly killed. Ultimately, Nero confronted Spock in the Hobus system. When Spock used red matter to create an artificial singularity to contain the worst of the blast, both were pulled into the singularity and presumed to have been killed. [1]

Star Trek: Who Plays Nero & Which Academy Award Winner Was Rumored For The Part?

Nero looking away

The "Star Trek" universe has had a brilliant collection of villains causing trouble for Starfleet and whichever hot-shot team leader we follow on their particular five-year mission. In the case of the "Star Trek" reboot in 2009, Chris Pine's charismatic James T. Kirk faces off against a rebellious Romulan named Nero, who was responsible for the death of Kirk's father (Chris Hemsworth). Considered one of the most dangerous foes in "Star Trek" history , such a role demanded some serious acting chops — someone who could deliver menace that stretched beyond the prosthetics and makeup covering their face. The filmmakers found it in none other than "Chopper" and "Munich" star Eric Bana, who managed to find some humanity in an alien enemy who was ferocious when he needed to be.

Taking on the antagonist gig in what he described to The Guardian as a film that's "almost made for the non 'Star Trek' fan," Bana, as brilliant as he was in the role, wasn't the initial choice for Nero. Instead, J.J. Abrams had another star in mind for the part — one who originated not too far from Bana's homeland. It was "Gladiator" star and Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe.

Russell Crowe got offered to face off with Kirk in Abrams' Star Trek

Perhaps in another timeline (one where the Academy Award winner wasn't so busy at the time), Russell Crowe may have accepted the initial offer to take on the role of Nero when J.J. Abrams tried to beam him aboard. According to CourierMail , Crowe was "definitely considering J.J. Abrams' offer. Russell was always a 'Star Trek' fan as a kid, which is a big bonus." Unfortunately, that casting never came to be, but at least the result we got was still worth a watch when Bana came aboard.

As Nero, Bana provided one of those rare but always welcome foes that, as evil as they are, are relatable in their actions and aims. "I hate films where the villain just turns up, and we have to accept that they're the villain for no real reason," explained Bana, whose character swore vengeance against Spock both past (Leonard Nimoy) and present (Zachary Quinto). "We can at least connect to some human quality in the rage and the revenge." While Crowe's involvement never came to pass, given that "Star Trek" has gained a resurgence with the likes of "Strange New Worlds" and "Star Trek: Discovery," there still might be some space aboard the bridge for Crowe to turn up eventually, in this parsec or the next.

Description [ ]

Summary [ ].

In the Neutral Zone , the Narada reels from the destruction of the USS Kelvin . All of its systems are damaged; its shields and weapons are offline. Nero calls out to Ayel , who replies that he is fine but that navigation is destroyed. Ayel reports that the Kelvin damaged its warp drive at the moment it struck the Narada , and that the warp field nearly destroyed the Romulan ship. Nero realizes that the " maniac " knew ramming the Narada was his crew's only hope, and says he almost admires the human 's courage. He knows that the Narada will eventually heal itself.

Standing over Captain Robau 's dead body, Ayel remembers what he said about the current date , and Nero says the black hole must have sent them back in time. Ayel realizes that this means Romulus still exists, and that they can return. Nero refuses to consider this. He believes that Romulus can only be made safe by their taking control of the Red Matter device and destroying the Federation . They will then return home as " saviors ". Pulling his bladed staff out of the corpse's chest, Nero says they will first find Spock , then use the Red Matter as a weapon. He knows Spock must be coming through the black hole after them; wiping the human's blood off the staff, he says they simply need to know where and when Spock will appear.

Xandr reports that life support is stabilizing. Nero orders that Robau's body be thrown into the replicators as soon as it is possible to do so. He leaves the bridge to Ayel, asking him to assemble the crew in an hour and alert him when Spock's ship appears.

Wandering through the ship, Nero ponders Ayel's words and the possibility of returning to Romulus. He and his crew could watch their grandparents and parents grow up; they could see themselves born, and he could see his wife 's birth. But Nero remembers Romulus' destruction and realizes that he will not do this; Romulus is dead, and he died with Romulus.

Nero addresses crew

Nero addresses his crew

At the assembly on the bridge, Nero tells his crew their mission remains unchanged. He realizes how tempting returning to Romulus is, but says they need to destroy Vulcan and the Federation; to return home would be to betray their dead loved ones. A crewman named Baratt asks for permission to speak, and suggests that they have been granted a miracle by the gods , the chance to go home. Nero coldly asks where the gods were when the Hobus star exploded and killed their families. Baratt points out that this has not happened yet, but Nero retorts that if it had not happened they would not remember it, and that it will happen again unless they destroy the Federation. Turning his back on Baratt and those who agree with him, Nero tells them they are free to take a shuttlecraft home.

When the shuttle is clear of the ship, Nero asks Ayel about weapons status. Despite ongoing repairs there are a few torpedoes available. Nero takes control of tactical and destroys the departing shuttlecraft. He orders power re-routed to the computers to calculate when Spock will appear, but suddenly the Narada is fired upon and surrounded by decloaking Klingon warships. The Narada , which still has no shields, is hailed by Captain Kor of the IKS Klothos . He demands that Narada identify itself, and Nero claims that it is merely a Romulan mining vessel, thrown off course by a solar storm. Kor, however, knows that the anomaly detected in this system was not a solar storm, and that the Narada is not merely a mining vessel. He says he will take their ship in the name of the Klingon Empire .

Ayel reports that they are outnumbered, but Nero says they will not surrender. Klingon warriors beam onto Narada 's bridge. Nero extrudes the blades from his staff and attacks them. More Klingons transport in, and Nero implants the staff in the forehead of one as he materializes, but it is a losing battle, and soon Nero is caught and held by a Klingon. Kor tells Nero that his crew is contained throughout the ship. A Klingon lieutenant tells Kor a human body was found in the hold, and shows him the Starfleet captain's insignia he has torn from the corpse's chest. Kor orders the body taken back to Qo'noS , where it may prove useful, and asks Nero how many mining ships have dead Starfleet captains in their holds. "Burn in hell , Klingon ," Nero snarls. As he is knocked unconscious, Kor answers, " You first, Romulan ."

Nero slowly awakens, barechested, kneeling, and shackled, in a Klingon interrogation facility. He is greeted by a Klingon named Koth whose right eye is permanently closed. Koth tells Nero he has spent time with some of his crew, who are less " durable " than their captain. Koth demands that Nero speak, but he remains silent. Laughing, Koth asks whether he has taken a "vow of silence". The Klingon says he is curious about the advanced technology of the Narada , now in Klingon hands. He addresses Nero by his name, having learned it from his crew, and says Nero must have more to say about why they were stranded in space. He welcomes Nero to Rura Penthe , the Klingon prison ice-planet, where the Narada remains in orbit and where Nero will "spend the rest of your miserable life ."

Screen Rant

Star trek's first movie villain helped nero create the kelvin timeline.

Nero kicked off Kelvin Timeline in the 2009 Star Trek film, and it turns out he had a little help from the franchise's first movie villain.

Star Trek’s first movie villain inadvertently helped Nero create the Kelvin Timeline . In the 2009 Star Trek film, the Romulan Nero is thrown back in time to the 23rd century, where he attacks the USS Kelvin . This creates a new timeline fans have come to call the “Kelvin Timeline.” However, in 2009's Star Trek: Nero #3 , fans learn that Nero had a secret encounter with Star Trek: The Motion Picture’s villain, and this encounter helped solidify the Kelvin Timeline.

Star Trek: Nero #3 was written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones from a story by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and drawn by David Messina. Shortly after his attack on the Kelvin , Nero and his crew are apprehended by Klingons, and spend the next two decades on Rura Penthe, a prison moon. He does not forget Spock, and his hatred only grows. He is desperate to find Spock when he arrives in this timeline, but lacks the resources. Then one day his ship, the Narada , comes to life. Docked in orbit of Penthe, the ship beams Nero and his crew aboard and sets course for parts unknown. It brings the Narada to the distant corner of the Delta Quadrant–where it encounters V’Ger. Sensing a kindred spirit in the Narada’s Borg technology, V’Ger has drawn the ship to it. V’Ger tries to absorb Nero, but it cannot. However, Nero is able to use V’Ger's vast computer brain, faster than anything even in his home of the 24th century, to calculate when and where Spock will arrive. Nero returns to the Narada , setting course for Spock’s arrival.

V'Ger is a Threat in Any Star Trek Timeline

V’Ger is best known as the villain from Star Trek: The Motion Picture . An enormous, “living machine,” V’Ger began life as Voyager 6 , an Earth probe. It falls through a wormhole and finds itself near a machine planet. Its inhabitants upgrade the probe, building a vast spacecraft to house it–and then send it back to Earth to fulfill its original mission. As it makes its way through the universe, it absorbs every ship and space station in its path, ultimately becoming one of the biggest threats Earth has ever faced. The crew of the Enterprise is able to stop V’Ger, and at the end of the movie, it melds with Commander Decker and Lieutenant Illia–and ultimately vanishes from our plane of existence.

V'Ger Could Not Handle Nero's Hate

V’Ger played a massive role in the Kelvin Timeline as well, without going anywhere near Earth. Nero is obsessed with finding Spock and avenging the Romulan people, but the calculations needed to find the Vulcan are beyond anything 23rd century science is capable of. V’Ger is able to provide Nero with the computing power he needs to find Spock, and carry out his mission of vengeance, namely destroying the Vulcan homeworld. The destruction of Vulcan is one of the most shocking events of the Kelvin Timeline, and V’Ger inadvertently helps in this. As Nero and the Narada warp away from V’Ger, Nero speculates it did not absorb him because of the hate in his heart.

This story picks up on another thread that has run through the Star Trek universe: the connection between the Borg and V’Ger. For years, fans have speculated a connection between the two; Trek’s creator Gene Roddenberry even did so himself. However, this connection was never made implicit–until this story. The Narada is loaded with stolen Borg technology, and this tech catches V’Ger’s attention. V’Ger instructs the Narada to free Nero , and in the process helped him create Star Trek 's Kelvin Timeline .
