Wanted to ask this for a while, read Kobayashi Maru and noticed this race being mentioned when T'Pol recalls her time in the V'Shar. My question is, have they mentioned before? Was very interesting and was hoping to learn more about them but the novel doesnt go further in it. I was assuming that they might be mentioned in the future or have they been mentioned before?

Not as far as I know. It would be nice to see them again, since I thought the sequence was the high point of the book and there seemed to be a lot of backstory to them. (Not that I'll be reading future ENT vooks, mind you, but they were intriguing nonetheless.)

Ah right, well I was just wondering. When I was reading the book I got a interested in them and the whole "experiment" comment by the leader of that one group and read to see if it was mentioned in future chapters but it wasnt so I was a bit puzzled by that. I mean sure Vulcans keep secrets but I thought it was leading into something, hopefully the Romulan War books might expand on this as I am really curious on what the Vulcans did to make these guys.
I don't know, the description didn't seem to match the Remans plus their is mention that they can infect other Vulcans turning them into Fri'slens which doesnt match anything known about the Remans. The Fri'slens seem to be almost like the Vulcan equivalent to Reavers from Firefly.
Vulcan zombies!
The Vulcans have had more spin offs than Family Guy and out of those only one(the Romulans) has actually succeed as a civilization.

Were they? The Wataii's MO was to avenge themselves on the Romulans who enslaved their ancestors and forced them to flee into deep space whereupon the Wataii settled on a relatively inhospitable planet and concerned their energies on building a military force capable of taking on the RSE.
Given their low population base and the lack of resources this meant that the Wataii became a race solely dedicated to their vendetta with no evidence of any culture or societal growth.
Now the Mintakan's on the other hand...
As far as I know, there's only one Family Guy spinoff (Cleveland's show) and it hasn't even made it to broadcast yet...?
The Mintakans were not an offshot of Vulcans, but 'Vulcanoids', an independant species that has evolved along similar lines, the same way so many species evolved around the same lines as humans.

Didn't the Vulcan's Soul books reveal the origins of the Remans? I haven't read them, but I was under the impressions that that was one of the big plot points for the whole trilogy.
Yeah, those that didn't become Wattraii became Remans I think...
^ Remans are an offshoot of Vulcans, created via genetic engineering - to survive in the harsh Reman environment.
