Atmospheric pressure rather lighter than Earth; Vulcan's air is thin. Hydrosphere: 28% surface water concentrated in two warm seas Climate: Arid and hot throughout with little seasonal variation; Vulcan is a desert planet Resources: Vulcan's main resource is its science, and to a lesser extent the products of its hereditary and traditional artistic schools. Both have made Vulcan culture one of the most influential throughout the Federation. Vulcan also produces rare minerals and ores, especially trillium. Ship Facilities: The main such facility is the Vulcan Space Center, although the cities of Vulcana Regar and Vulcinis both have spaceports and geosynchronous stations capable of spacedock service.
