The Vulcan High Command was the most powerful governmental body on Vulcan during the early 22nd century, and its de facto military government.
The High Command was responsible for overseeing military and civilian organizations, as well as Vulcan's space fleet, diplomatic missions, and scientific research.
History
- See also: Vulcan history
The Vulcan High Command existed as early as 1957. In that year, a Tellarite freighter relayed a distress call to the High Command from a Vulcan research team stranded on Earth. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")
In 2097 the High Command annexed Weytahn, calling it Paan Mokar. (ENT: "Cease Fire").
In May of 2153, the High Command ordered Subcommander T'Pol (via Ambassador Soval) to return to Vulcan rather than join Enterprise NX-01 on its mission into the Delphic Expanse. T'Pol resigned her commission rather than obey. (ENT: "The Expanse")
In 2154, V'Las, head of the High Command, planned to attack Andoria, tricking the Vulcan High Council into believing that the Andorians were developing a planet-destroying weapon based on Xindi technology. (ENT: "Awakening") Following the Enterprise's thwarting of that incident, the High Command was disbanded, ending their diplomatic influence of Earth's decisions. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
Upon this, the newly instated minister T'Pau began cleaning house, which resulted in many former High Command ships being undercrewed by the time of the Babel Crisis. During the incident, she was only able to dispatch twenty-three starships to add to the combined Andorian-Human-Tellarite intercept fleet. (ENT: "United")
Lorot was a member of the High Command assimilated by the Borg. (VOY: "Infinite Regress")
In an alternate reality, the Vulcan High Command was reinstated sometime before 2258, when Vulcan was destroyed by Nero. (Star Trek)
