Vulcan

Vulcan (T’Khasi)

Homeworld of the Vulcan People | Founding World of the Federation

Vulcan is a hot, arid planet located in the 40 Eridani A system, known for its harsh climate, thin atmosphere, and ancient, rationalist civilization. As the birthplace of Surak’s philosophy of logic, Vulcan became the cultural and ideological anchor of the United Federation of Planets, shaping diplomacy, ethics, and interstellar law across generations.

Vulcan society prizes logic, order, and emotional control, balanced by a deep commitment to science, discipline, and cultural preservation. Cities such as Shi'Kahr and Vulcana Regar are known for their monumental architecture, monastic academies, and deep psionic traditions.

Despite its image as serene, Vulcan harbors deep undercurrents: factional debates over reunification with Romulus (before its fall), rising influence of Logician Extremists, and increasing friction with younger Federation members over its conservative stances.

In Shadows of the Galaxy, Vulcan remains a silent power — not through force, but through intellectual gravity, temporal memory, and the ever-watchful presence of minds that do not forget.
