Spock

Science officer aboard the original Starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. Born 2230 on planet Vulcan. His mother, Armanda Grayson, was a human schoolteacher from Earth, and his father Sarek, was a diplomat from Vulcan. As a result, he was torn between two worlds, the stern discipline of Vulcan logic and the emotionalism of his human side. The struggle to reconcile his two halves would torment him for much of his life. Spock's Starfleet service number was S179-276 SP. As of 2267, he had earned the Vulcanian Scientific Kegion of Honor, had been twice decorated by Starfleet Command, and held an A7 computer expert classification. His blood type was T-negative.

Childhood and family
When he was five years old, Spock came home upset because Vulcan had tormented him, saying he wasn't really Vulcan. As a child, Spock had a pet sehlat, sort of a live Vulcan teddy bear. Spock was raised with an older half-brother, Sybok, until Sybok was ostracized from Vulcan society because he rejected the Vulcan dogma of pure logic. Spock himself endured considerable anithuman prejudice on the part of many Vulcans, an experience that may have later made it easier for Spock to find home in the interstellar community of Starfleet. At age seven, Spock was telepathically bonded with a young Vulcan girl named T'Ping. Less than a marriage, but more than a betrothal, the telepathic touch would draw the two together when the time was right after both came of age. Spock experienced Pon farr, the powerful mating drive, in 2267, and he was compelled to return to Vulcan to claim T'Ping as his wife. T'Ping spurned Spock in favor of Stonn, freeing Spock. Spock's father, Sarek, had hoped his son would attend the Vulcan Science Academy, and was bitterly disappointed when Spock instead chose to join Starfleet. Spock and his father had no spoken as father and son for 18 years when a medical emergency drew them together. Aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise
Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in the Federation Starfleet, and he distinguished himself greatly as science officer aboard the original U.S.S. Enterprise. His logical Vulcan thought-patterns proved of tremendous value when Spock first served aboard the Enterprise during command of Captain Christopher Pike. Under the command of James Kirk, Spock suffered infection by parasites on planet Deneva in 2267, an intensely painful experience. He survived the Denevan neural parasites after being exposed to intense electromagnetic radiation that drove the parasites from his body. Spock was briefly feared to have been blind by the light, but it was later learned that his Vulcan inner eyelid protected his vision. Spock was critically wounded on Tyree's planet in 2267 with an ancient weapon known as a flintlock. He survived, using a Vulcan healing technique in which the mind concentrates on the injured organs. Following the conclusion of Kirk's five-year mission, Spock retired from Starfleet, returning to Vulcan to pursue the Kolinahr discipline. Although he completed the training, intended to purge all remaining emotion, Spock nonetheless failled to achieve Kolinahr because his emotions were stirred by the V'ger entity in 2271. Spock subsequently remained with Starfleet and was eventually promoted to Enterprise captain when that ship was assigned as a training vessel at Starfleet Academy.

Death and rebirth
Spock was killed in 2285 while saving the Enterprise from the detonation of the Genesis Device by Khan Noonien Singh. His body was consigned to space, but unknown to anyone at the time, his casket landed on the Genesis Planet. Although believed dead at the time, Spock had, just prior to his death, mind-melded with McCoy. Spock had apparently intended for his friend to return Spock's karta to Vulcan in acccordance with Vulcan custom. The presence of Spock's living spirit in McCoy's mind was later found to be an extraordinary opportunity to re-unite Spock's body and spirit when his body was found to have been regenerated on the Genesis Planet. The fal-tor-pan (refusion) process was conducted at Mount Seleya on Vulcan, supervised by high priestess T'Lar. Spock underwent several months of re-education, during which his mind was instructed in the Vulcan way, but his mother, Amanda, was concerned that he regain knowledge of his human heritage as well. Spock elected to return to Earth with his shipmates from the Enterprise to face charges stemming from Kirk's violation of starfleet regulations in Spock's rescue. Later career
In later years Spock's work became more diplomatic than scientific, even while he was still part of Starfleet. At the request of Ambassador Sarek, Spock served as Federation special envoy to the Klingon government in 2293, paving the way for the Khitomer peace accords with Chancellor Azetbur. In 2368, Spock secretly traveled to Romulus, on a personal mission to further the cause on Romulan-Vulcan re-unification. Spock's disappearance caused great consternation among Federation authorities, and the Enterprise-D was dispatched to determine his whereabouts and intensions. Spock's contact on Romulus was Senator Pardek, who was believed to have met Spock during the Khitomer conference in 2293. Pardek was later learned to be an agent of the consercative Romulan government, seeking to use Spock's initiative to cover an attempted Romulan invasion of Vulcan. Following the attempted invasion, Spock chose to remain underground on Romulus in hopes of furthering the cause of re-unification. Spock continued his activities in the Romulan undergroud, and in 2369 helped arrange the defection of Romulan Vice-Proconsul M'ret to the Federation. Spock indicated he believed the escape of M'ret would help establish an escape route for other Romulan dissidents who lived in fear for their lives. Following the death of his father, Spock had one final, unexpected encounter with Sarek. Prior to his death, Sarek had mind-melded with Jean-Luc Picard, sharing with Picard his deepest emotions, unclouded by Vulcan logic. On Romulus, Picard allowed Spock to mind-meld with him, and Spock finally came to know of his father's love for him.

Mirror Universe
Science officer and second-in-command of the I.S.S. Enterprise in the mirror universe. The bearded first officer deduced the transposition of landing parties between universes and allowed the U.S.S. Enterprise landing party to return to their own universe. Knowing that one day Spock might be the captain of the I.S.S. Enterprise, Kirk planted seeds of doubt in Spock's mind about the fate of the evil empire he served, noting that Spock was a man of honor in both universes. Spock became the driving force to reform the Terran Empire, pressing for disarmament and peace. He found remarkable success, becomming the empire's commander-in-chief, and using that position to convince the brutal empire to change its ways. Unfortunatley, Spocks reforms left the empire unable to resist outside attackers, and the empiresoon fell to forces of the Alliance
