| abstract | - A Vulcan transport was a type of transport utilized by the Vulcan High Command during the 22nd century. In 2151, a Vulcan transport was sent to pick up Sub-Commander T'Pol after Enterprise had delivered Klaang to Qo'noS; however she remained aboard and joined the crew in their mission of exploration. (ENT: "Broken Bow") In 2152, a Vulcan transport ferried several Vulcan doctors to the Interspecies Medical Exchange conference on Dekendi III. Following the arrival of the Enterprise, the transport ship's crew requested permission to dock with the newly-arrived vessel. (ENT: "Stigma") Later that year, a Vulcan transport was sent to tow the Vulcan cruiser Tal'Kir back to base after the cruiser was severely damaged in a conflict with the Tholians. (ENT: "Future Tense") In 2153, a Vulcan transport located the Xindi probe that attacked Earth, crashed-landed in central Asia. The crew of the transport retrieved it and brought it to Starfleet Headquarters. (ENT: "The Expanse") A Vulcan transport was also included in an early story outline for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. It would have delivered Dr. McCoy from the planet Vulcan to the USS Enterprise as the starship headed to the Genesis Planet, after the Enterprise had left him on Vulcan while on a return journey to Earth. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 8, p. 29) According to the final draft of the "Carbon Creek" script, dated 18 September 2002 , the D'Vahl was to have originally been identified as a "Vulcan transport", however, a hand-written note, on the post-production version of same script, finalized the ship's classification in dialog as a "Vulcan survey vessel".
