Cuisine
Vulcan
mollusks

creature native to Vulcan that is noted to many, including Quark. He served
an entre of jumbo Vulcan mollusks sauteed in Rhombolian butter to Fallit
Kot who appeared to at least tolerate it.
Vulcan
port
A dark blue-colored
Vulcan variety of - if the Terran namesake is any guide - a hearty, fortified
dark wine, bottled for at least 300 years. Quark had a bottle wintered
in 2070 that he almost served to the Maquis member Sakonna.
Vulcan
spice tea
A blend programmed
in Tuvok's cabin replicator. He knew Janeway enjoyed it, although he had
still not shared it with her by early 2373.
Vulcan
Government
A founding member
of the United Federation of Planets, the natives turned to logic as a path
away from self-destructive violence nearly 2,000 years ago, and a splinter
group with star drive left to found the Romulan Star Empire. Its government
includes the titled leaders "ministers" -- including the security ministry,
known as the V'Shar -- and a Bill of Rights to protect civil liberties.Though
its people are pacifists, it maintains its own defense fleet. The hot, dry
and marginally Class M world was aware of Earth but had no interest in
the primitive world until a passing survey ship noted Chochrane's warp
signature on April 4, 2063, and became the first alien contact in human's
history.
In recent years,
an extreme isolationist movement has sprung up dedicated to withdrawal from
the United Federation of Planets and fighting the "pollution" of Vulcan
culture. Meanwhile, an underground group on Romulus worked to spread peaceful
reunification between the worlds.
