Known for their pronounced eyebrows and pointed ears, they originate from the fictional planet Vulcan. In the Star Trek universe, they were the first extraterrestrial species to make contact with humans. Vulcan and Earth are longstanding allies, both being founding members of the United Federation of Planets. Star Trek's first, and most notable, Vulcan character is Spock, first played by actor Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969). Further Vulcans have appeared across the franchise including main characters Tuvok (Star Trek: Voyager) and T'Pol (Star Trek: Enterprise).
