## Early History

Being a harsh desert Planet with limited resources Vulcans history is one of great violence. The destructive capacity almost eliminated the Vulcan people with the detonation of Atomic Weapons across the planet. It was only through the teachings of the Philosipher Surak that the people of Vulcan found peace. This peace lead to the sundering of the Vulcans resulting in those who left and became the Romulans.

As the Vulcans exercised a slow and controled advance of technology they developed patience in all things. This attitude resulted in the progress from warp 1 to warp 2 taking over a hundred years.

They became a star faring race that was intrested in explroation and non-interferance (a Proto Prime Directive). It is because of this that they had regulated Earth as a warlike planet that would most likely result in thier own destruction. However, it is due to one of thier vessels , the T'plana Hath, being on the edge of the Sol System that they caught Zephram Cochrane's first warp flight. This moment in history resulted in Earth's first offical First COntact and lead Humanity down a different path.

## Modern History

The Vulcan's were a driving force behind the Coalition of Planets which eventually evolved into the United Federation of Planets. During the Romulan Wars they took a backseat due to the realizetion that the Romulan's were able to remotely control the technologiclly superior Vulcan vessels.

Their close contact with Humans lead to them being a common sight Through out the Federation. They even had officers present on Earth's first long term exploration mission.

They had a massive reformation of their goverment in the late 22nd century which resulted in the acceptance of the Syrrannites. This lead to a Syrrannite leader, T'Pau, for over a Hundred years.

Many Vulcan have opposed to the close alliance, due to the concern it was not in line with Vulcan teachings. It ws decided by refeerendum to remain at humanities side. Which resulted in greater Vulcan influence in the Federations Exploration and research efforts.

## V'Shar (Vulcan Defense Force)

The Vulcan Defense Force is the military arm of the Confederacy of Vulcan which are charged with the protection of Vulcan and its colonies. The Vulcan Ministry of Defense are in charge with the administration of this branch of the Vulcan state. The Minister of Defense is known to work closely with Starfleet in order to maintain peak efficiency as well as to ensure coordination between the two.

During the Earth-Romulan War, the Defense Force participated in the conflict with the Romulan Star Empire which included defending Earth's assets in the Alpha Centauri system. However, under the orders of Administrator of the Confederacy of Vulcan T'Pau, they were recalled and did not take any further overt action in the conflict with the Romulans. Unknown to many, this was partly because the Vulcans discovered that the telecapture technology of the Romulans was especially effective against Vulcan vessels allowing them to easily commandeer them remotely.
