History:
Planet: Vulcan. A humanoid race, with copper-based blood, slightly green-tinted complexion and notably pointed ears, the race responsible in a large part for the founding of the Federation. Vulcans have developed a culture dedicated to the complete mastery of logic, learning to suppress their once-violent emotions in nearly every aspect of their existence. The Vulcan Commander Spock served as Captain James T. Kirk's first officer and science officer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 for many years. At least one Vulcan has served as Starfleet Academy superintendent, one who memorized every cadet's personal file, during all or part of Commander Riker's years in 2353-57.
Ambassador Spock, realizing the irony of Data's search for humanity, tells him that many Vulcans try all their lives to gain Data's built-in lack of emotions. In ancient times, Vulcans were a war-like race, leading to their near extinction. Its ancients believed in gods, such as war, peace and death.
Chief O'Brien quotes a phrase when meeting Tosk he attributed to the logical, pointy-eared Federation race: "We're here to serve." Their honest and stoic nature makes them a bad choice for Nog's lie about who "stole his homework." Commander Sisko's late captain on the U.S.S. Saratoga was a Vulcan. Before the Vantika incident, Vulcans are the only race Doctor Bashir knows of who have ever performed a synaptic pattern displacement, or the transfer of one individual's consciousness into another: in their case, the transfer of the katra. An unspecified Vulcan ship is the first to make formal contact with a Gamma Quadrant civilization, the Wadi. As with other space-faring groups, the Vulcans use an easily identifiable subspace band frequency in communication. Over a hundred years ago, a Vulcan science mission responded to the Hanoli rift but was lost along with the Hanoli system when the rupture expanded while probing it. There were no reports of imagination manifestations, perhaps not too unusual considering their nature.
Vulcans are typically stronger than Humans though they do not boast of this strength. Doctor Bashir beat an otherwise unidentified Vulcan in the finals to lead the Starfleet Medical School team to the sector tennis championship his final year ( 2368-69). Vulcans were brewing wines at least 300 years ago circa 2070 - or since before the United Federation of Planets was founded. Sakonna's request for weapons blows away the pacifist Vulcan stereotype for Quark. She's not the only one in the Maquis: another is likely a settler on Volan III. Vulcan honesty is legendary, even to Ferengi, but despite his crush on Sakonna Quark agrees to count her Latinum payment for illegal Maquis arms anyway. Cardassian mental disciplines may be a match for Vulcan's, although those of the other race do not employ telepathy.
Vulcan IDIC pins are highly collectible and not usually available on Deep Space Nine - one of Quark's would-be expanded sales items by inter-station monitor. Healer Senva is nominated for the Carrington Award in 2371. The species is made up of many varied skin tones, including a dark brown.
Lieutenant Tuvok serving on the U.S.S. Voyager is a full Vulcan, while legendary Ambassador Spock is half Vulcan and half Human. The Romulans are an offshoot of the Vulcan species.
