Biographical Information

The Vulcans insisted that Sub-Commander T'Pol oversee Enterprise's voyages and refused to supply starcharts unless this demand was met. This is not a position for which T'Pol volunteered. Her skill as a science officer is unquestioned, but working alongside primitive and irrational humans is an ongoing lesson in Vulcan patience. T'Pol and Archer often disagree, but are gradually learning mutual respect.

In 2153, the Enterprise set out for the Delphic Expanse to find the creators of the weapon that attacked Earth, the Xindi. Because it did not approve of the mission, the Vulcan High Command recalled T'Pol to Vulcan. T'Pol refused and resigned her commission with the High Command. Upon return to Earth in 2154, Starfleet offered T'Pol a commission with a rank of Commander. She accepted and became the first Vulcan to serve in Starfleet.
