Vulcan starships

The Star Trek television series and movie franchise has presented various configurations and designs of Vulcan starships.

"T'plana-hath"

The "T'plana-hath" is a Vulcan science vessel in the 21st century. The T'plana-hath is the vessel which made first contact with Earth in the year 2063 when the Vulcans detected Earth's first warp flight. Following Vulcan first contact protocol the starship T'plana-hath lands at the launch site of the Phoenix., (1996).]

On landing three Vulcans exit the T'plana-hath, with their leader giving the Vulcan salute.

The ship is named for T'plana-hath, the matron of the Vulcan philosophy., (1986).]

Mirror universe

Within the mirror universe first contact did not go so well between Human and Vulcans; Zefram Cochrane killed the Vulcan leader, and the humans surrounding the T'plana-hath raid the ship for its technology.cite episode| title=In a Mirror, Darkly| episodelink=In a Mirror, Darkly (Enterprise episode)| series=Star Trek: Enterprise| serieslink=Star Trek: Enterprise]

"Suurok"-class

The "Suurok" class is a Vulcan science vessel in service in the 22nd century, like the "D'Kyr" and "Sh'Raan (Sh'Raan is a tpye ofd Suurok)" the Suurok class vessels have a ring shaped warp nacelle and a pointed hull. The "Suurok" class is much more technologically advanced than the "Enterprise" NX-01.

The "Suurok" class starships possess technology such as tractor beams, deflector shielding and could achieve maximum speeds of warp 6.5; however, Captain Vanik states that the technology is "classified".cite episode| title=Breaking the Ice| episodelink=Breaking the Ice (Enterprise episode)| series=Star Trek: Enterprise| serieslink=Star Trek: Enterprise]

Background

The "Suurok" class was originally designed by Doug Drexler. [cite web | title=Designing the Ti'Mur | url=http://www.starshipdatalink.net/art/timur.html | accessdate=2006-10-10 ]

"Sh'Raan"

The "Sh'Raan" is a Vulcan combat cruiser in the 22nd century. Like the "D'Kyr" and the "Surak" class these vessels have a ring-shaped warp nacelle; however, the "Sh'Raan" type adds a long pointed hull.

The "Sh'Raan" is one of the Vulcan High Command's most powerful combat cruisers.cite episode| title=Fallen Hero| episodelink=Fallen Hero (Enterprise episode)| series=Star Trek: Enterprise| serieslink=Star Trek: Enterprise]

The "Sh'Raan" possess many more technological advancements than those of the "Enterprise". It is heavily armed, and capable of taking on at least three or more Mazarite warships in battle and disabling them, with little or no damage. The "Sh'Raan" is also the fastest known Vulcan ship with a top speed of Warp 7.

A "Sh'Raan" combat cruiser carries at least one shuttlecraft.The shuttle pods look very similar to the mother ship. Most notably, the engine nacelles look alike in appearance and configuration in relation to the fuselage, suggesting that the shuttle pods have warp capability.

Weaponry

The "Sh'Raan" was equipped with particle cannons which are capable of disabling several Mazarite warships in several successive hits.

"D'Kyr"

The "D'Kyr" is a 22nd century type of vessel originally operated by the Vulcan High Command, as with the "Suurok" class and "Sh'Raan" these vessels follow a similar design and are have puce hull, the ship has a dual circular engine,cite episode| title=Kir'Shara| episodelink=Kir'Shara (Enterprise episode)| series=Star Trek: Enterprise| serieslink=Star Trek: Enterprise] when the ships engines are active the ring glows blue, the ringed warp nacelle is also capable of turning,cite episode| title=Impulse| episodelink=Impulse (Enterprise episode)| series=Star Trek: Enterprise| serieslink=Star Trek: Enterprise] a small auxiliary craft is located within the dual ring.

The "D'Kyr" uses deflector shielding as its primary line of defence, the "D'Kyr's" shields can withstand a direct attack from the "Enterprise" without taking any severe damage, and take several hits from a "Kumari"-class starships particle cannon.

Equipped with particle cannons and photonic weaponry, the ship's weapons fire in a lime green colour. A "D'Kyr"'s weaponry causes severe damage to the "Enterprise" during the "Battle of Andoria".
