Terminology
Zhilikam t'°Sahrat t'Loguhn°

As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans have a great wealth of literature, including genres like Terran science fantasy and science fiction. The Logan's Run® book by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, and films and the short-lived television series based on it, are interesting examples of post-apocalyptic fiction which have grasped the imagination of species in the Federation and beyond. Planetary disasters and population controls have been known in the past histories of Alpha and Beta Quadrant peoples.
