P ' Jem P ' Jem was a Vulcan monastery on a planet near Andoria . The site was destroyed in 2152 . History . At the time of its destruction , the structure was almost 3 , 000 years old , with Master Haadok having been one of the monastery ' s founders . ( ) Some centuries before the 22nd century , a set of katric ark s were discovered at the P ' Jem monastery . Scientist s studied them extensively , as ancient Vulcans were alleged to store katra s in them , but no evidence of a katra was found . ( ) At one point in the 2130s , T ' Pol visited the sanctuary of P ' Jem and had the " fullara " ceremony performed on her . ( ) In the 22nd century , the monastery was ransacked three times by the Andorian s looking for a suspected sensor array . On the last of these occasions , in 2151 , the Earth starship visited P ' Jem , only to find it taken over by a group of Andorian commandos led by Shran . After some initial misunderstanding and a firefight , the commandos and the " Enterprise " landing party discovered a highly sophisticated surveillance installation in the catacombs beneath the monastery . Captain Archer gave scans of the facility conducted by his science officer , T ' Pol , to Shran as evidence of the Vulcans ' spying . ( ) Though the Andorians gave the monks and surveillance personnel ample warning before an eventual orbit al bombardment , the Vulcan High Command blamed T ' Pol , who was by then a sub - commander , for allowing Archer to expose the facility and recalled her from " Enterprise " . They rescinded this decision at the request of Captain Sopek , after T ' Pol saved his life on . ( ) The repercussions back on were longer lasting . The First Minister was dismissed , and the High Command forced the resignation of T ' Les , T ' Pol ' s mother , from the Vulcan Science Academy . The evidence of treason they used had been fabricated ; even so , T ' Pol had no way to restore her mother ' s position except by marrying into Koss ' influential family . ( ) Arev identified Archer as the man who was responsible for the destruction of the monastery on P ' Jem , after Arev learned that T ' Pol was the daughter of T ' Les . Archer assumed this would be held against him . However , Arev remarked that the captain ' s actions exposed the Vulcan High Council ' s " hypocrisy . " ( ) Appendices . Background information .
