Vulcans are a species renowned for their logic and stoicism, hailing from the planet Vulcan, which was one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets. Deep, powerful emotions run beneath their calm exteriors, however.
Vulcan names are usually a combination of two or three syllables, sometimes with apostrophes joining single letters to the rest of the construction. Think of clear sounds that sound calm and logical.

Jau
The Vulcan Science Academy is the logical place for Jau and she is making her way there slowly and methodically, as befits a citizen of Vulcan. Logically, there are only a set number of places available, which means Jau must also consider taking extraordinary means to secure one. Even sabotage.

Laasak
Logic was the basis of Laasak’s life and, excelling at it, she naturally followed the logical progression of events and now teaches the art to young Vulcans from across the planet. It is in and of itself a further exercise in logic, for she enjoys the practice, to an almost indecent level.

T’rasuth
