Depends on the need of the story.
Did Starfleet have a facility on Vulcan?
- Thread starter JonnyQuest037
- Start date
Does such a thing exist(Besides on ships captained by Vulcan supremacists) ?
What we of Starfleet is but a drop in a bucket.
That's why they had colonies called P'Jem, Vulcanis Lunar and the planet they fought the Andorians over...yeah right, definitely homebodies. They might not be 'natural explorers', but they explored.

Still gives them another 1000 years to get their shit together if they wanted to. Surak is meant to have lived in Earth's first century, more than 2000 Earth years from the 22nd century.
They just couldn't do it very fast because they didn't have warp drive until Zephram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri discovered the Space Warp.
<== TOS guy.
Of course....
You have to admit, that's not very many examples.
Isn't that the guys from Ringworld?
It's more offworld colonies than we've got.
They still left their system to do it, and explored.
Not sure about that latter thing. Vulcans moved a piece of their culture to P'Jem. They may have had zero interest in what P'Jem in turn had to offer to them.
The Vulcanian Star Empire in ENT had definite offworld interests. None of these need involve exploration, though. That Vulcans are homebodies is not in dispute, not with just 10,000 of them surviving the loss of the homeworld, even if TOS recognizes the concept of the Vulcan merchant and TNG/DS9 the concept of the non-Starfleet Vulcan survey ship. And lack of interest in exploring would cover much of that, including the ENT power games. But it doesn't explain the Vulcan survey ship concept (see "Vortex" for an example of the disconnect with Starfleet there). Unless it's just an euphemism for spying for fundamentally military purposes, as in ENT.
As for the Vulcanis Lunar colony, this might well be on Luna - an early embassy-ghetto for the aliens before they were accepted down on Terra firma, or then an extension of the Embassy for those who cannot tolerate the stench of humans.

Considering TOS Starfleet is run 99.9% by human males, I don't blame Vulcan for the racial segregation, the policy is already in use.
Yes that line written by folks who really didn't know the Star Trek universe. Oh well its done now.
Before ENT and FC and even most of TNG Diane Duane made the same claim.Yes that line written by folks who really didn't know the Star Trek universe. Oh well its done now.
What! They claimed only 10,000 Vulcans survived Nero?
Based on what we see in the franchise the humans were not exactly populating the rest of the galaxy either. The population of the human colonies shown, well I see more people in my staff canteen everyday.
Now you have lost me. People can be a 'mystery to their colleagues' without it having to do with their planetary origin or racial group.
