    Spock is the first or only Vulcan in Starfleet. The crew of the Intrepid would like a word.

    These can be tough, since three generations of fans have worked on later shows or ancillary official materials. E.g. Startrek.com used to say that about Spock.

    Lots about Klingon history: they stole warp tech from the hurq, the hurq (who came after Kahless and stole his relics) are the gods of ancient Klingon myth. Klingon warrior culture is a recent aberration (claims one lawyer whose parents were undervalued academics). Kahless lived a thousand years before TNG. That’s only half the time since Surak or Charlemagne, but fans want to see him more like King Arthur or Robin Hood.

      T’Pol would be the first Vulcan in Starfleet, no?

      She started off as Vulcan High Command but officially joins Starfleet later on in ENT.
