monition : SPOILERS for Star Trek # 2InStar Treklore , the Vulcans are a race of inherently legitimate existence , and consider themselves far superior above others - but there are beings whom even they esteem . Benjamin Spock and the other Vulcanssubdue their emotions in favor of moth-eaten logic in every Star Trek series , and owe their survival as a mintage to this recitation . ButStar Trek # 2reveals that the Vulcans greatly admire at least one species above all others in the galaxy .
Ever since the firstStar Trekseries in 1967 , theVulcans have been depict as a traditional racewhich kick upstairs the concepts of cause and logic on stand . As such , while they canonically have a faith of their own , they seldom discuss it or factor it into their casual life sentence .

"
Even The Vulcans Admire The Shapers
Vulcan are quite buttoned-down with their compliments ( and indeed with all of their exclamations , such as they are ) , so the Shapers are quite impressive . Bear in mindthat the Prophets are so advanced , they exist beyond time ; they even have a hard prison term understanding such basic concepts as cause and effect . Thus , the Shapers count down upon even the might of the Federation , and it falls to Data to talk of their positive qualities . This Star Trek comedian contains material from every era , but this Vulcan admiration for Godlike exponent is truly alone .
It must be noted that in the original series , while Spock never met the entity Q , he did encounter other staggeringly powerful being ( most notably inThe Squire of Gothos ) , but did not always utter his admiration for them .
