Vulcans are a humanoid species in the fictional Star Trek universe who hail from the planet Vulcan, and are noted for their attempt to live by reason and logic with no interference from emotion. On early Star Trek original series (TOS) episodes, they were sometimes referred to as "Vulcanians." They were the first extraterrestrial species encountered by Humans, and later became one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets. Vulcans are featured in all six Star Trek series, four of which featured a Vulcan as a main character. Image File history File links Emblem-important. ...

Physical and mental attributes The main differences in the depiction of Vulcans from that of Humans are their arched, upswept eyebrows, and the top of their ears' pinna, which tapers into a point. Vulcans, like Humans, display different races within the subspecies, which are comparable to Human races. This means Vulcans may be played by actors of any race or ethnicity.

Although Romulans are descended from the same ancestors as Vulcans, they differ both in physiology and in behavioral customs. Over the centuries, Vulcans developed a culture dedicated to the complete mastery of logic, learning to suppress their once-violent emotions in nearly every aspect of their existence. Romulans, on the other hand, embraced their emotional natures. Furthermore, a minority of Vulcans are depicted with a small V-shaped ridge above the bridge of their nose, similar to Romulans. Romulans are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe related to Vulcans. ...

Pon farr -
Periodically every seven years for males and bonded females, Vulcans experience an overpowering mating drive known as pon farr. Once triggered, Vulcans must have sexual contact with someone, preferably their mate, or else face insanity and death. Pon farr is a condition in the fictional Star Trek universe that induces the desire to mate in an adult Vulcan. ...
If a mate is not available, there are two other options that will relieve the effects of the pon farr. The first is meditation where the Vulcan must overcome the urge to mate through mental discipline. The other option is extreme shock; in the TOS episode "Amok Time", Spock believed he had killed James T. Kirk, his best friend, thus providing sufficient shock to nullify the effects of pon farr. When he experienced pon farr, Tuvok of the starship USS Voyager made use of a holodeck simulation, created by Tom Paris, of a temporary mate which resembled his wife to relieve his condition. This holodeck simulation was created because The Doctor was unavailable; the dialog of this episode suggests that The Doctor had prepared a medicine to help Tuvok overcome his Pon Farr. Infection is another mechanism writers have used to induce pon farr in Vulcan characters. For other senses of this word, see Meditation (disambiguation). ...

It is possible for Vulcans to conceive with non-Vulcans: the first known Human-Vulcan offspring was a girl named Elizabeth, cloned out of DNA stolen from Charles Tucker III and T'Pol by the terrorist group Terra Prime. Elizabeth died as an infant because of a flaw in the cloning process, but her existence demonstrated that Human and Vulcan DNA could combine to produce a child ("Terra Prime"). Spock is the offspring of a Vulcan father and a Human mother ("Journey to Babel"). Crewman Simon Tarses of the Enterprise-D was a Human who declared himself one-quarter Vulcan on his Starfleet application, though it was later discovered that he was in fact one-quarter Romulan ("The Drumhead").

When Spock experienced pon farr, it was made clear that only contact with his mate, T'Pring, would be sufficient for him to survive the condition. In Spock's case, however, his pon farr evaporated after he supposedly killed Kirk, and T'Pring announced her intention to wed another man. ("Amok Time") There is little canon reference to Vulcans having siblings, with the exception of Spock, who has a half-brother, Sybok, and Tuvok, who has four children. Canon has never firmly established whether pon farr is a prerequisite for conceiving children. Until T'Pol underwent a virus-induced pon farr in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Bounty," it was not established that Vulcan females actually experienced it; T'Pring showed no apparent signs of the condition in "Amok Time."

When Vulcans first experience pon farr has not been established.
Although it has been mentioned several times in the canon that pon farr occurs every seven years, it has never been established if this is truly a recurring event or only happens a limited number of times. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry said in a 1968 interview that the idea behind pon farr was inspired by African rhinoceros' alleged mating practices, wherein a female of the species dies once every five years after mating with the entire male herd population.[citation needed] In the TOS episode "This Side of Paradise," Leila Kalomi hints at having had a special relationship with Spock some six years earlier, which may suggest an encounter between them during pon farr. Likewise in the film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the regenerated adolescent Spock went through at least two pon farrs at accelerated speed.

Mental abilities Many Vulcans are contact telepaths, and have been observed taking part in a number of telepathy-related actions and rituals. Telepathy is the communication of messages or thoughts directly from one mind to another. ...
Mind melds A procedure known as a mind-meld involves physical contact with a subject (though instances of mind-melds without contact have been seen), making it possible to share thoughts, experiences, memories, and knowledge with another individual. Vulcans can perform mind melds with members of most other species, most notably Humans, with Jonathan Archer being the first known Human participant in such a ritual in 2154. Even the Earth Humpback Whale can be successfully melded with. The Ferengi are one of the few races known to be impervious to the mind meld; mentally disciplined Cardassians may also be resistant to mind melds if properly trained. It is un-established if this potential ability is inherent to Cardassians, or if members of any race could be trained to resist a mind meld. Machines, such as the Nomad probe, have been melded with even if only through complete contact. Though not canon, in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "One of Our Planets is Missing," a touch-less melding of a gaseous nebular entity was depicted. In the Star Trek science fiction universe, Humans/Terrans (Homo sapiens sapiens) are one of the races undertaking interstellar travel. ...

The use of the mind meld was taboo for a period of time. In the Vulcan timeline, this changed when experienced melders were shown to be able to cure Pa'nar Syndrome, a condition passed on by melders who are improperly trained and claimed to be incurable by the Vulcan government. Within a week of the Kir'Shara incident in 2154, the stigma against mind-melders was evaporating, and sufferers of Pa'nar were being cured in large numbers. By the mid-23rd century, the mind meld is a fully accepted part of Vulcan society, and was even used once to rejoin Spock's katra with his healed physical body (see below). Panar Syndrome is a fictional neurological ailment presented in the Star Trek universe. ...
For the Vulcan homeworld, see Vulcan (Star Trek planet). ...
As originally depicted in TOS, mind-melds were considered dangerous and potentially lethal. Over the course of the original series, however, the element of risk was no longer mentioned, although it was revived on Star Trek: Enterprise with the revelation that Pa'nar Syndrome can be transmitted this way. The starship Enterprise (NX-01) Star Trek: Enterprise is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe. ...
For a number of years, it was held that not all Vulcans are genetically capable of initiating a mind-meld, such as T'Pol. However, the overthrow of the Vulcan High Command in 2154 revealed that this is not the case, and T'Pol conducted her first mind meld soon after. Commander TPol is a fictional character played by Jolene Blalock in Star Trek: Enterprise. ...
In the 22nd century, the Vulcan High Command is apparently a form of military government which controls both the Vulcan space fleet and most of the planet itself. ...
It is not definitively established if all Vulcans possess contact telepathy, though Spock stated, "Limited telepathic abilities are inherent in Vulcanians" (not "some Vulcanians") in The TOS episode. "A Taste of Armageddon". It has been stated (most recently in the ENT episode "The Aenar") that Vulcans, on the whole, have some degree of telepathic ability. A Taste of Armageddon is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. ...
The Aenar is the title of a Star Trek: Enterprise television episode from season four. ...
Some Vulcans appear with advanced mental abilities. For example, in the TOS episode "A Taste of Armageddon," Spock was once able to briefly control the mind of a prison guard on Eminiar VII, and in the episode "The Devil in the Dark", he was able to perform a limited mind meld with a Horta without actually making physical contact with the being. It is made apparent that a touch-less meld is limited in effectiveness compared to physical melds. During more intense melds, the melder is sometimes shown using both hands. Spock's greatest touch-less mind meld was in 2271 when he melded with a representation of Lieutenant Ilia inside the V'ger entity (Star Trek: The Motion Picture). A Taste of Armageddon is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. ...

Bonding When Vulcans mate, a form of psychic bond is created between the partners. The specifics of this have yet to be fully explained in canon. It has been suggested that this bonding is the reason for periodic pon farr. Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945) was one of the best-known American psychics of the 20th century and made many highly publicized predictions. ...
In the fourth season of Enterprise, as T'Pol began to explore her newfound mental powers, she discovered that she was experiencing a psychic link with Charles Tucker III, sometimes over a range of many light-years during Tucker's brief posting aboard Columbia. This link was so strong that it rendered Tucker the only male aboard Enterprise immune to the mind-control powers of a group of Orion slave girls who tried to take over the ship ("Bound"). T'Pol deduced that she and Tucker established the link when they mated in the episode "Harbinger"; however, it is not known if the actual act of sexual coupling formed this link or if other factors came into play.

Katra Some Vulcans appear able to "cheat the grave" by implanting their katra, essentially their living essence or spirit, into an object or another person via a form of mind-meld just prior to death. The history and mechanics of the katra have never been discussed in great detail in canon. It was known at the time of Surak, and Surak successfully transferred his essence into a "katric ark" which remained hidden for 1,800 years until it was recovered by a Vulcan named Syrran in the 22nd century. Syrran melded with the ark and received Surak's katra, which guided him into creating the Syrrannite movement which fought to restore Surak's teachings to Vulcan, but was labeled a terrorist group by the Vulcan High Command. Surak is a fictional character of the Star Trek universe. ...

Syrran was fatally wounded by a lightning strike while escorting Jonathan Archer and T'Pol across a desert region called The Forge in 2154 prior to a short-lived conflict between Vulcan and Andoria. He conducted a forced mind-meld on Archer and implanted Surak's katra into Archer's mind before he died. For a brief time, Archer found himself communicating with the long-dead Surak, and Surak began controlling, or at least strongly influencing, Archer's actions.

Fal-Tor-Pan Katras can, on rare occasions, be returned to the body, effectively bringing an individual back from the dead. Such was the case with Spock, who, near the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, implanted his katra into the mind of Leonard McCoy prior to sacrificing his life to save the USS Enterprise. (Such was the strength of Spock's mental abilities that he was in fact able to function normally for several minutes despite depositing his "soul" elsewhere). Following Spock's death, McCoy began exhibiting Vulcan-like behavior and was briefly institutionalized. It was later discovered that Spock's body came to rest on the Genesis Planet after his burial in space, and was regenerated. He was recovered and was taken with McCoy to Mount Seleya on Vulcan where a Vulcan high priestess named T'Lan performed a ritual which removed the katra from McCoy and implanted it into Spock's regenerated body. Subsequently, Spock recovered, although it took some time to retrain his mind to the point where it was prior to his death. Eventually, Spock's original memories apparently reasserted themselves and he resumed his duties in Starfleet. Look up Resurrection in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy comic book (which is not considered canon), a katra staying in a foreign mind for too long can cause the personality of the host to start to merge with that of the katra, potentially causing insanity. When the two personalities become intertwined, the katra cannot be removed, as happened to T'Prell, who died and gave her katra to her Romulan friend Selke, who was then captured and used as a spy for the Tal Shiar before she could return T'Prell's katra to Vulcan. There are some similar effects in canon, as both McCoy and Archer experienced negative reactions to carrying katras, and McCoy's sanity was at issue during his experience. Romulans are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe related to Vulcans. ...
Fullara When Vulcans experience extreme emotional trauma, a ritual known as the Fullara can be performed by elders. The mechanics of the Fullara have yet to be fully explored in canon. T'Pol underwent the procedure at the P'Jem sanctuary c.2136 following a mission for Vulcan Intelligence in which she was forced to shoot and kill a fleeing prisoner. The act of killing face-to-face caused T'Pol to experience a nervous breakdown, and the only way for her to remedy this was to undergo the Fullara, which restored her emotional balance, but left her with no memory of the killing or her emotional state thereafter. Years later, the effects of the Fullara were undone when T'Pol was reminded of these events in the episode "The Seventh," resulting in a near-emotional collapse that was prevented in part by the presence of a trusted friend, Jonathan Archer. It has been noted that T'Pol's increased emotional state, noted in many later episodes of the series, began in earnest from this point. At that point in the timeline, the ritual is considered to be obsolete, but it has not been made clear what, if anything, took its place. Commander TPol is a fictional character played by Jolene Blalock in Star Trek: Enterprise. ...

Neuropressure Vulcans practice a form of acupressure known as neuropressure, which involves massaging and manipulating muscles and nerve centers on the body in order to relieve stress. Neuropressure is considered an intimate act, as some of the postures involved are pseudo-sexual in nature, and can elicit responses similar to sexual arousal and even climax, as demonstrated by T'Pol in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Xindi" when Charles Tucker III inadvertently triggers such a response. Specialized training is required in order to properly administer neuropressure, otherwise injury to the recipient can result. Acupressure (a portmanteau of acupuncture and pressure) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique based on the same ideas as acupuncture. ...

Culture
Emotion and maturity Vulcans, as a matter of custom and policy, suppress all emotional influence by living lives of rigid emotional self-control through meditative techniques and training of mental discipline. Vulcans are not depicted as having no emotions; although they themselves make this claim, Vulcans are a very emotional people. They developed techniques to suppress their emotions precisely because of the damage they can cause if unchecked. In one episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Tuvok explains that Vulcans' natural emotions are "erratic and volatile" - if Vulcans do not strongly repress emotions, they can get violently angry in an instant. T'Pol once stated that paranoia and homicidal rage were common on Vulcan prior to Surak. Look up Emotion in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The advanced ritual of Kolinahr is intended to purge all remaining vestigial emotion; the word also refers to the discipline by which this state is maintained. Only the most devoted and trained Vulcan students attain Kolinahr; most Vulcans do retain control over their emotions, but do not completely eliminate them as Kolinahr adepts do. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Spock was unable to complete this ritual after receiving powerful telepathic signals from space and experiencing strong emotions as a result. The Vulcan masters conducting the trials concluded that since Spock's human blood was touched by these messages from space, he could not have achieved Kolinahr, and the ritual was halted. A ritual is a set of actions, performed mainly for their symbolic value, which is prescribed by a religion or by the traditions of a community. ...

The term for the purge of emotion is arei'mnu. It is stated that it does not translate properly into any Earth language. In Diane Duane's novel Spock's World, it was suggested that arei'mnu closely translates into "mastery of emotions," but that linguist Amanda Grayson, Sarek's wife and Spock's mother, in her work on the Universal Translator, had mistranslated the Vulcan word to mean "lack of emotions."

Some Vulcans, such as T'Pol, Sarek (in his later years), and Soval, carry their emotions close to the surface, and are prone to emotional outbursts, even without outside influences or illness; T'Pau certainly displayed restrained but definite emotions in the TOS episode "Amok Time," including suspicion of the Human visitors followed by admiration and approval of their friendship for Spock, and contempt for Spock's humanity. There is some evidence to support the hypothesis that Vulcans in close contact with Humans for an extended period of time may become more emotional than Vulcans who do not. Established canon has yet to make a definitive case for this. Sarek is a Vulcan character in the Star Trek fictional universe. ...

Not all Vulcan characters follow the path of pure logic; some instead choose to embrace emotions. A group of renegade Vulcans who believed in this was encountered in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Fusion," while Spock's half-brother, Sybok (seen in the film Star Trek V: The Final Frontier), was also fully emotional. An episode of Enterprise entitled "E²" featured an elderly T'Pol in an alternate timeline who had embraced emotion and allowed her half-Human son, Lorian, to do likewise.

The speed at which a Vulcan matures "emotionally" (for lack of a better term) seems to vary. It has been established that, with a lifespan of more than two centuries, a Vulcan as old as 100 Earth years will still appear, and be considered, relatively young. Vulcans as young as their 30s and even 20s have been shown in mature roles in their society, and acting older than their apparent ages (i.e. T'Pau and Spock). T'Pol, a Vulcan in her 60s, on the other hand, is still somewhat naïve and innocent compared to other Vulcans, and acts very much like a rational Human woman in her late 20s or early 30s.

In the pilot episode "The Cage," Spock showed much more emotion. Number One, played by Majel Barrett, was supposed to be the emotionless character. Although the test audience indicated they liked the actress, they disliked the character because they could not relate to a female who was so "cold." As a result, the character of Christine Chapel was created for Barrett and the "coldness" was transferred to the Spock character.

Family and rituals Traditionally, Vulcans place high importance on family, placing the will of their family above their own.
Vulcans practice arranged marriage, in which a male and a female are married or affianced as children, with consummation at a later date. Following adult union, it is customary for the couple to remain on Vulcan for at least one Vulcan year before conducting off-world travel (presumably in order to produce offspring), though it is possible for the female to defer this requirement until a later date, upon negotiation with the male's family. The state of pon farr is not required for marriage to occur.

A Vulcan female can challenge the proposed bonding by calling for koon-ut-kal-if-fee, in which a challenger for marriage engages the bonded male in a fight to the death. Alternately, the bonded male has the option of rejecting his intended bride and choosing another. It is acceptable for a male to "release" his mate from marriage (effectively the same as a divorce). It is not established whether females have the same option, and T'Pring stated in "Amok Time" that a kal-if-fee challenge was the only way she could legally divorce Spock. Divorce or dissolution of marriage is the ending of a marriage before the death of either spouse. ...

The canon has not firmly established a timeline for Vulcan marriages.

It is customary for Vulcan children to undertake an initiation ordeal known as the kahs-wan (sometimes spelled kaswahn), in which they are left to fend for themselves in the desert for a specific period of time. Not all children survive this rite of passage. T'Pol underwent the ritual, while Tuvok experienced a variation known as the tal'oth. The kahs-wan was first introduced in the "Star Trek: The Animated Series" episode "Yesteryear" in which Spock's experience as a child was detailed; however, as the animated series is not considered canon, it has yet to be "officially" established that Spock experienced the ritual.

Contrary to the Vulcan image of expressing no emotion, family bonds can be strong and affectionate just as they are for Humans. Tuvok expressed his love for his wife on a few occasions (without actually using the term), Sarek openly expressed affection for both his Human wives, and a clear bond of love existed between T'Pol and her mother, T'Les. In addition, Vulcans also value close friendships, even with more emotional
