V’tosh Ka’tur
Tolaris, a member of the V’tosh ka’tur (ENT-17)
Vulcan phrase that translated to “Vulcans without logic.” This name was given by Vulcan elders to those who disagreed with the ancestral teachings. A group of V’tosh ka’tur was encountered by the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151. One of their group, Tavin, believed the “Vulcans without logic” label to be inaccurate; he claimed that they successfully integrated emotion and logic.[1]
