Covering over 2 million hectares of land 644 kilometers to the northeast of Vulcana Regar, the Fire Plains lie at the base of a triangle of three active volcanoes - T'raan to the north, T'riall to the southeast, and T'regar to the southwest. The Plains would be of scientific interest for this reason alone, as barely a decade has passed without an eruption from at least one of the triple peaks. What makes the Fire Plains renowned throughout the galaxy, however, are the multicolored crystalline formations which grow throughout this superheated environment, providing an ever-changing explosion of kaleidoscopic panoramas - a feast for the eye or the soul. | Covering over 2 million hectares of land 644 kilometers to the northeast of Vulcana Regar, the Fire Plains lie at the base of a triangle of three active volcanoes - T'raan to the north, T'riall to the southeast, and T'regar to the southwest.

Finally, Vulcana Regar is also the headquarters of the ''V'Shar'', the Vulcan bureau of internal security. For most of the past two centuries, the ''V'Shar'' had become little more than a glorified spaceport police, checking manifests and apprehending offworlder pickpockets, and making ceremonial appearances at meetings of the Vulcan Council. Even its traditional technical information-gathering role had slipped to the Science Academy. As the activities of the '''Vulcan Isolationist Movement (VIM)''' have increased in intensity over the past several years, however, the presence of the ''V'Shar'' grows steadily more visible and important. | Finally, Vulcana Regar is also the headquarters of the ''[[ma:V%27Shar|V'Shar]]'', the Vulcan bureau of internal security.

A heavy-set, olive-skinned man of almost 150 years, Director | A heavy-set, olive-skinned man of almost 150 years, Director [[ma:Satok|Satok]] has been head of the ''[[ma:V%27Shar|V'Shar]]'' for almost forty years. He has a deep, sonorous voice and a regal bearing, and always prefers if possible to reflect upon a situation before choosing a course of action. A graduate of both the Science Academy (in molecular chemistry) and the Vulcan Institute of Defensive Arts (VIDA), [[ma:Satok|Satok]] has never been off-world. There are those who allege that [[ma:Satok|Satok]] holds a degree of sympathy for some of the political agendas of the '''[[ma:Vulcan_Isolationist_Movement|VIM]]''', and may have moved slowly to infiltrate their ranks as a result. Now that the '''[[ma:Vulcan_Isolationist_Movement|VIM]]''' has stepped up its activities to include treasonous plots such as the recent attempt to locate and reassemble the [[ma:Stone_of_Gol|Stone of Gol]], [[ma:Satok|Satok]] has dedicated the ''[[ma:V%27Shar|V'Shar]]'' to rooting out its members and bringing them to justice. | ||

A lithe young Vulcan woman with black hair and hazel eyes, T'shanik enrolled in the ''V'Shar'' upon returning to Vulcan in 2366, after just failing (as runner-up to Wesley Crusher) to qualify for admission to Starfleet Academy. Although a strict adherent to the ways of [[ma:Surak|Surak]], T'shanik seems to possess an unusually high degree of curiosity about the customs and ways of offworlders, and she has been employed on several occsions as a liaison when the ''V'Shar'' is called upon to interact with other non-Vulcan Federation personnel. | A lithe young Vulcan woman with black hair and hazel eyes, T'shanik enrolled in the ''[[ma:V%27Shar|V'Shar]]'' upon returning to Vulcan in 2366, after just failing (as runner-up to Wesley Crusher) to qualify for admission to Starfleet Academy.
