Description:
(v 1.6 GOLD) The people of Earth were very fortunate that a race as strongly pacific and cooperative as the Vulcan's were the first aliens encountered. Vulcan's are valued members of the Federation, and the race boasts of many prolific scientists and valuable Starfleet officers. |

Biological Description: Differentiating Terran humans from Vulcan's is as easy as looking for the ubiquitous pointed ears and converging eyebrows, their most visible attributes. The Vulcan's great physical strength and endurance come from living in the thin atmosphere and harsh conditions of Vulcan. In order to survive such an inhospitable environment, they have developed specialized organs over millennia of time. |
|||||||
Society Description: Vulcan's are pacifists by and large, a condition that is dictated by their logical tendencies. The government on present day Vulcan is a representative democracy, whose three branches are "hr'Mnah'te" (the proposal group), the "hr'Breish'te" (the rectification group) and the "hr'Kash'te" (the expunging group). Vulcan government tends towards laissez faire, and the law system is designed to make laws easier to rescind than implement. For an intensely logical race, the Vulcan's do have a very firm spiritual belief. Though there is no one unifying religion, the Vulcan's believe in the katra, the soul and consciousness of a person, which is transferred physically just prior to death. Vulcan beliefs are monotheistic because the presence of a creator is stressed in their ideals. The spiritual leader of Vulcan's is a high-priestess who presides over the Homeworld. |

General History Description: Vulcan a millennia before the Rihannsu split was warlike and dangerous for the weak. Resources on the dry world were far too sparse for peaceful coexistence of all its people. It was the constant struggle for survival that made early Vulcan's violent, emotional, and fiercely clannish. Each of the hundreds of small clans and city-states on the planet surface had diverse governmental structures and religions, and they constantly battled each other over possession of resources and water on the planet. It is estimated that at any one time, 90% of the planet was at war. The wages of war tired some Vulcan's who, after endless battle, wondered if peace might not be a better way of life. Surak lead this movement, spreading his philosophies of logic and pacifism to the other Vulcan's. Though slow to gain momentum, Surak ultimately succeeded in converting a core of Vulcan's to his cause, among them S'Task, one of his finest pupils. Surak is revered as the founder of modern Vulcan society to this day |
