Vulcans are known to be a spacefaring society for a long time prior to mankind actually making its first steps among the stars. <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan_starship_classes</ref>. As such, as early as the 20th century, according to Earth calculations, they had survey ships equipped with warp drive exploring other systems. An example of this are the the D'Vahl type, one of those explored the solar system around 1950. <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/D%27Vahl_type </ref> <ref>ENT: Carbon Creek</ref> | |||
Early Vulcans were a violent people and much of their advanced technology was seemingly lost in the nuclear wars shortly before the reformation of the Vulcan people led by Surak in the Time of Awakening. <ref>ENT episode: "Awakening"</ref>. Technology from this period included psionic devices such as Katric arks (containers which enable the containment of the living spirit of a deceased Vulcan <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Katric_ark</ref>) and psionic weapons including as the Stone of Gol (a psionic resonator which focused and amplified telepathic energy <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_of_Gol</ref> <ref>TNG: "Gambit, Part II"</ref>). Psionic weapons were banned on Vulcan following the reformation, although some scattered examples can still be found in recent times. | |||
Even in the era of the Federation, the Vulcans contributed greatly in the fields of science.<ref>https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan#Technology</ref>. The contributions of the Vulcan Science Academy (VSA) are renowned in many fields and have contributed, for example, to the development of transporter technology. <ref>https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan_Science_Academy#Research_work</ref> | |||
