SPOCK. (Leonard Nimoy) Science officer aboard the original Starship Enterprise under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. Born 2230 on the planet Vulcan; his mother, Amanda Grayson, was a human school teacher from earth, and his Father, Sarek was a diplomat from Vulcan. ("The Side of Paradise" [TOS] , "Journey to Babel" [TOS] ) As a result, he was torn between two worlds, the stern discipline of Vulcan logic and the emotionalism of his human side. The struggle to reconcile his two halves would torment him for much of his life. ("The Naked Time" [TOS] ). Spock's Starfleet service number was S179-276 SP. As of 2267, he had earned the Vulcanian Scientific Legion of Honor, had been twice decorated by Starfleet Command ("Court Martial" [TOS] ) and held an A7 computer expert classification. ("The Ultimate Computer" [TOS] . His blood type was T-Negative. ("Journey To Babel" [TOS] ).
Childhood
and family: When he was five years old, Spock came home upset
because Vulcan boys had tormented him, saying he wasn't really Vulcan.
("Journey to Babel" [TOS] ). As a child, Spock had a pet
sehlat sort of a live Vulcan
teddy bear. ("Journey to Babel" [TOS]). Spock was raised with
an older half brother,
Sybok until Sybok was
ostracized from
Vulcan society because he rejected the Vulcan dogma of pure logic.
(Gene Roddenberry
considered the Sybok story to be apocryphal)
Spock himself endured considerable anti-human prejudice on the part
of many Vulcans, an experience that may have later made it easier for Spock
to find a home in the intersteller community of Starfleet. (Star Trek
V: The Final Frontier) At the age of seven, Spock was telepathically
bonded with a yung Vulcan girl named T' ring. Less than a marriage,
but more than a betrothal, the telepathically touched would draw the
two together when the time was right after both came of age. ("Amok
Time"[TOS]) Spock experienced
Ponfarr the
powerful mating drive, in 2267, when he was compelled to return to Vulcan
to claim T'Pring as his wife.
T' Pring spurned Spock in favor of
Stonn, freeing
Spock, ("Amok Time" [TOS] ). Spock's father, Sarek, had hoped his son
would attend the Vulcan Science Academy
and was bitterly disappointed when Spock instead chose
to join StarFleet. Spock and his father had not spoken as father and
son for 18 years, until a medical emergency drew them together. ("Journey
to Babel" [TOS] ).
U.S.S. Enterprise: Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in the Federation Starfleet, and distinguished himself greatly as science officer aboard the original U.S.S. Enterprise. His logical Vulcan thought-patterns proved of tremendous value when Spock first served aboard the Enterprise during the command of Captain Christopher Pike. ("The Menagerie" [TOS] ) Spock said he worked with Pike for 11 years, 4 months which suggests that he was young enough when he first came on board the Enterprise that he was probably still attending Starfleet Academy. So because of this, we think that Spocks first year on the Enterprise he was a cadet. Under the command of Captain James T Kirk. Spock suffered infection by parasites on planet Deneva in 2267, an intensely painful experience. He survived the Denevan neural parasites after being exposed to intense electromagnetic radiation that drove the parasites from his body. Spock was briefly thought to be blinded by the light but found out that his Vulcan inner eyelid had protected his vision. ("Operation Annihilate" [TOS] ) Spock was critically wounded on Tyree's planet in 2267 with an ancient weapon known as as a flintlock. He survived using a Vulcan healing technique in which the mind concentrates on the injured organs. ("A Private Little War" [TOS] ) Following the conclusion of Kirk's five-year mission, Spock retired from Starfleet, returning to Vulcan to pursue the Kohlinar discipline. Although he completed the training intended to purge all remaining emotion, Spock nonetheless failed to achieve kohlinar because his emotions, were stirred by the V'Ger entity in 2271. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture). Spock subsequently remained with Starfleet and was eventually promoted to Enterprise captain when that ship was assigned as a training vessel at Starfleet Academy.
Death and Rebirth:
Spock was killed in2285 while saving the Enterprise from the
detonation of the Genesis Device by
Khan Noonien Singgh. His body was consigned to space, but then
unknown to anyone at the time, his casket landed on the Genesis planet (Star
TrekII : The Wrath of Khan) Although believed to be dead at the time
Spock had, just prior to his death, mind-melded with McCoy. It seems
that Spock had apparently intended for his friend to return Spock's
Katra to Vulcan in accordance
with Vulcan custom. The presence of Spock's living spirit in McCoy's
mind was later found to be an extraordinary opportunity to reunite Spock's
body and spirit when his body was found to have been regenerated on the Genesis
Planet. The fal-tor-pan (
refusion) process was conducted at Mount Seleya on Vulcan, supervised by
the high priestess T'Lar. (Star Trek III : The Search for Spock).
Later Spock underwent several months of re-educations, during which
his mind was instructed in the Vulcan way, but his Mother, Amanda was concerned
that he regain knowledge of his human heritage as well Spock elected
to return to Earth with his shipmates from the Enterprise to face charges
stemming from Kirk's violation of Starfleet regulations in Spock's rescue.

Home).
