A humanoid race, with copper-based blood, slightly green-tinted complexion and notably pointed ears, they are responsible in a large part for the founding of the Federation.

Over the centuries, Vulcans have developed a culture dedicated to the complete mastery of logic, learning to suppress their once-violent emotions in nearly every aspect of their existence. In the mid-22nd century, Vulcans still carry remnants of their more emotional selves. The captain of [[ma:Enterprise (NX-01)|Enterprise NX-01]], [[ma:Jonathan Archer|Jonathan Archer]] - who numbers amongst his crew a Vulcan science officer/liason named [[ma:T'Pol|T'Pol]] - has frequent dealings with the [[ma:Vulcan High Command|Vulcan High Command]]. In these dealings, it is evident that some sense of emotion has been retained. At this period in their history, they are secretive and, according to the [[ma:Andorian Empire|Andorians]], perpetual liars. [[ma:Ambassador|Ambassador]] [[ma:Spock|Spock]] realized the irony of [[ma:Data|Data's]] search for humanity, and told him that many Vulcans try all their lives to gain Data's built-in lack of emotions. | ||

In ancient times, Vulcans were a war-like race, leading to their near extinction. Its ancient ancestors believed in gods, such as war, peace and death. Chief O'Brien quoted a phrase when meeting Tosk that he attributed to the logical, pointy-eared Federation race: "We're here to serve." Their honest and stoic nature made them a bad choice for Nog's lie about who "stole his homework." | In ancient times, Vulcans were a war-like race, leading to their near extinction.
