Terminology
Zhilikam t'°V°
As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans have a great wealth of literature, including a genre like Terran science fiction. The two mini-series V and V: The Final Battle, the follow-on television series, and books based on them, have a unique fascination for beings in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The theme of invaders coming in the guise of friends has happened repeatedly over the millennia to various cultures.
Below you will find names, places and terminology you might find associated with the universe of V in film and print. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by title/rank, first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard.)
