Since there are 150+ member races in the Federation, in principle* any one of them should make up a rather small proportion anyway. Theoretically, each race should finding itself moving into the areas where it performs best; whoever makes the best diplomats will become diplomats.Teaos wrote:I dont think they would make good ambassidors for the Federation since they dont represent the largest proportion of them.

To races who knew of the Vulcans, particularly their fairness and honesty they would work well. To use them with a race which doesn't know of them could be harder.

Okay. I've just never seen it abbreviated before. Sounded like some top-secret research facility.

Re: Are Vulcans the best Ambassadors?
500$? That's pretty pricey. I don't remember what the one I went to cost, my friend might have paid for me. Probably because I would have refused otherwise. I was quite bored, there's only so many Lursa's you can look at before it gets old. They had some cool pictures on sale though.KuvahMagh wrote:

Shatner and Nimoy have good chemistry off screen though. Both quite funny.
