The Vulcan homeworld is also named Vulcan, a reddish Minshara-Class planet orbiting the star 40 Eridani A.
Vulcan is the second telluric planet in the Vulcan system located in Beta quadrant.
Vulcan has a considerably higher gravity and thinner atmosphere than Earth.
Its climate is generally harsh, with most of the surface consisting of large deserts or mountain ranges, along with scattered small seas.
Desert areas are prone to large amounts of heat, light and electrical sand fire storms.
Vulcan has no moon, but appears to have close planetary companions.
Vulcan aka Keid A aka 40 Eri A is a trinary star system in the Eridanus constellation, located about 16.45 light years from Sol.
Modern scientists have determined for The primry star is a orange solar-like star with a K0V spectral type and its second and third
components are spectral classes A VII and M4e V and orbit each other at a period of about 252 years, anywhere between 21 and 49
astronomical units (AU) distant from each other.
Both stars are in an orbit with an 8,000 year period about 418 AUs from 40 Eridani A.

 

Vulcan system is near Axanar (aka Eps Eri 6.1 LY), Kaferia (aka Tau Ceti 10.1 LY).

Description

The new vulcan system counts seven planets, two belts and many asteroids.
. Ket-Cheleb (aka real Keid Ab also known as Vulcan/Vulcanis A I, Nevasa I, Ko'vel I or 40 Eridani A I) was a planet, the first planet in the 40 Eridani star system, in orbit of the star 40 Eridani A.
. Vulcan (also known as Vulcan/Vulcanis A II, Nevasa II or 40 Eridani A II) was a planet, the second planet in the 40 Eridani star system, in orbit of the star 40 Eridani A.
A class M desert planet, Vulcan was inhabited by the Vulcan civilization, who refered to their world as T'Khasi or Ti-Valka'ain.
Vulcan's orbital period (year) was 203 days long of 24 hours, and was a harsh, desert planet (96%) with barely a quarter of its surface area
containing water. It possessed a thin atmosphere (20 kms) and high gravity (1.4 G).
. T'Khut (also known as Vulcan III, Vulcanis III, The Watcher, T'Rukh, T'Kuht, T'Khul, Valdena & Charis), with which it shared an orbit around a common center of gravity; the two worlds were a mere 249,895 kms apart, and T'Khut would fill the sky of the single hemisphere of Vulcan it was visible from due to the planets being tidally locked.
(TOS episode: "The Man Trap"; ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation; TOS novel: Sarek)
T'Khut itself did have a moon, called T'Rukhemai or Delta Vega, home of the Vulcanis Lunar and Starfleet Colony.
(TOS novel: Sarek; VOY episode: "Unimatrix Zero"; VOY novel: Pathways)
. Tel-Alep (also known as Tel-alep, Vulcan/Vulcanis A IV, Nevasa IV, Ko'vel IV, Keid IV, Omicron-2 Eridani A IV or 40 Eridani A IV) was a planet, the fourth planet in the 40 Eridani star system, in orbit of the star 40 Eridani A.
Tel-Alep was a class K planet, located between 1.8 and 2 AUs from the central star.
. Kal-Apton (also known as Kal-Ai-Ton/Kal-ap-ton, Vulcan/Vulcanis A V, Nevasa V, Ko'vel V, Keid V, Omicron-2 Eridani A V or 40 Eridani A V) was a planet, the fifth planet in the 40 Eridani star system, in orbit of the star 40 Eridani A.
Kal-Apton was a class J gas giant, located around 6 AUs from the central star, it has 12 moons.
. Kir Alep (also known as Kir-alep/Kir-Alep, Vulcan/Vulcanis A VI, Nevasa VI, Ko'vel VI, Keid VI, Omicron-2 Eridani A VI or 40 Eridani A VI) was a planet, the sixth planet in the 40 Eridani star system, in orbit of the star 40 Eridani A.
Kir Alep was a class J gas subjovian giant, located between 14 and 16 AUs from the central star.
. Vulcanis VII (also known as Vulcan/Vulcanis A VII, Nevasa VII, Ko'vel VII, Omicron-2 Eridani A VII, 40 Eridani A VII or Keid VII) was a planet, the seventh planet in the 40 Eridani star system, located around 20 AUs from the central star.

 

History
Lot of things have been written on Vulcan.
After the Abrahams's last movie, the vulcan system must be updated but the old data must be kept.
The Vulcan homeworld Vulcan was the capital planet of the Confederacy of Vulcan, and later a founding world in both
the Coalition of Planets and United Federation of Planets.
It's the first Federation Member since 2165.
T'Khut is the sister-planet of Vulcan.
Since the Abrahams's movie, I supposed that Delta Vega was an iced class-M moon which turn around T'Khut (see picture allowed).


The USS DELESTREZ and its shuttles turn around Vulcan.

A journey from Sun to Vulcan gives with okuda table :
 at warp 5.0 : 28.1 days (Enterprise)
 at warp 7.0 :  9.1 days (Tos)
 at warp 9.0 :  3.9 days (Tng)
 at warp 9.9 :  2.0 days (USS DELESTREZ v4)

 a warp 9.9+: 0.8 day (Voyager)

 

V3
Shuttle Scarpe v2 (new textures).
22 new vulcan vessels.
4 new vulcan starbases (science, vesuvius, TRF) and The 40 Eri shipyards.
Aen , Galax (wedding before Terran and Vulcan technolgies), Ratar cruiser
and the biggest vulcan cruiser turn around Vesuvius station.
