The Vulcan Space Council was an organization within the Confederacy of Vulcan that operated by the mid-22nd century. An identifying patch worn on their uniforms was a circle and triangle IDIC patch. After the founding of the United Federation of Planets, the Space Council continued to exist as one of the sub-commands of the new Federation Starfleet, its vessels being tasked with research and development.
