The Romulan Star Empire briefly considered invading Vulcan in order to acquire the technology which the Vulcans refused to share. Ambassador Spock was able to get enough red matter manufactured which was deployed on the Starfleet ship Jellyfish. However, Spock was too late as the supernova from Hobus destroyed Romulus and extinguished the lives of millions of Romulans. Before the nova could progress further, Spock shot a portion of the red matter into the Hobus star collapsing it into a singularity. (TNG comic: "Countdown") This incident led to the Narada and the Jellyfish falling into the singularity where they went back in time leading to the creation of an alternate reality. During this time, Nero attempted to gain revenge against Spock and sought his emergence from the rift in time where he intercepted the Jellyfish and gained access to red matter. With it, he deployed some of the substance against Vulcan leading to the destruction of the planet and near extinction of the Vulcan species. The crew of the USS Enterprise was later successful in destroying the Narada before it could deploy a red matter weapon against Earth. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek)
