Zhilikam t'°Akan-Shasol°
INTRODUCTION
Ragtaya
As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans have a great wealth of literature, including genres similar (if not identical) to Terran science fantasy and science fiction. Alien Nation in films and print has especially been a favorite of beings in the Federation because of its themes of beings from different worlds learning to live together despite fear of the unknown and prejudice, issues which every sentient being has experienced at one time or another.
Below you will find a sampling of vocabulary that you might find associated with Alien Nation. Please note that where there is disagreement with a name from the original movie vs. the later series and its sequels, the later information is presented here. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title/rank, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard here.)
