The Vulcans were benevolent rulers, allowing the humans to retain their own governments.
The Vulcan Federation expanded its holdings to include one nine-planet system known as Sol.Īnd so it remained.
Not surprisingly, the humans leaders, whose people had come very close to slavery at best, total annihilation at worst, drafted a treaty with the Vulcans, agreeing to become a junior partner in the Federation. Without a single dissenting vote, the Council agreed to rescue the humans from the Klingon raiders, which the Vulcan fleet did with its usual efficiency. However, all that changed when the Klingons attacked. It was the considered opinion of the majority of the High Council members that the humans, who suspected but did not actually know there were more races in the galaxy than theirs, were not yet ready to be initiated into the larger universe. The Vulcan Galactic Federation had been observing the humans on Earth for some time, debating whether to contact them and open negotiations for diplomatic relations and, at some point in the future, a possible membership in the Federation. However, they were passionate in defense of their world, and they fought valiantly against the overwhelming odds. The humans had space-flight technology, but they had used it only to explore their solar system, never for combat. The inhabitants of Earth-they referred to themselves as humans-were both brave and resourceful, but they were significantly outmatched by the Klingon ships and weaponry. The Klingon ships swooped down on this tender little prize with glee. Much to the disappointment of those sadistic warriors, the system was void of life-with the exception of one planet, the third one from the central sun-a planet called Earth. In the year 2031 (Old Earth calendar), the group of planets known as the Sol System were invaded by raiders from the Klingon Empire. Chapter One: The Vulcan Federation of Planets
