Biography[]
Early life[]
T'Pol was born on Vulcan on February 22nd, in the year 2332.
When T'Pol was five years old, a ch'kariya killed her father's prized kal'ta plant. She trapped the animal, intending to release it the next day, but did not give it enough food and it died that night. The incident served as a reminder to T'Pol to avoid causing harm to other living things.
When T'Pol was ten years old, she and her fellow students attended a lecture given by a Vulcan master, during which he questioned her if it was right for one to use violent means to defend one's self from violence.

The squad was led by Denak, and also included Eskren, Vekk'r, Ych'a and Yekda. Only T'Pol, Denak and Ych'a survived this mission.
