The Vulcans are a humanoid race
native to the planet Vulcan. Vulcans
were once a passionate, violent
people whose Humanoid race native
to planet Vulcan. Vulcans were once
a passionate, violent people whose
civilizaton was torn by terrible wars.
The ancient philosopher Surak revered as the father of
Vulcan civilization, led his people some 2000 years ago to reject their emotions in favor of
a philosophy that embraced true logic. Vulcan society is now based entirely on login and
any trappings of emotion are considered to be in extremely poor taste. In the distant past,
Vulcans killed to win their mates. Even in the present, Vulcans revert to ancient mating
rituals, apparently the price these people must pay for totally suppressing their natural
emotions. When Vulcan children are about seven, their parents select a future mate, and
the two children are joined in a ceremony that links them telepathically. When the two
children come of age, they are compelled to join together for the marriage rituals. The time
of mating, Pon farr, is when the stoically logical Vulcans pay for their rigid control by
experiencing a period of total emotional abandon. In Vulcan adults, Pon farr comes every
seven years. Because planet Vulcan has a higher gravity than Earth, Vulcans in an
Earth-normal environment demonstrate greater physical strenght and more acute hearings
that humans. Vulcans have telepathic capacity, as practiced in the Vulcan mind-meld.
Although the telepathic ability is quite limited.
