One consistent theme we've had across all the trailers has been the background setting of a sandy, ashen, rocky location. Fight scenes have been pitched there, it's been the backdrop to exposition, and we've even had the all-important establishing shot giving us a fuller look at the near-desert setting. For obvious reasons, the assumption has been that this is Vulcan.
