Star Trek: Vulcan's Heart: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Arc Welding]]: The characters from [[Star Trek: Stargazer]] (established in the novel ''Reunion'') are weaved into the events surrounding the Romulan attack on Narendra III, and the loss of the ''Enterprise''-C.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: The character Ruanek had previously appeared in another novel in a relatively minor role. He proved so popular with readers that he made a reappearance here, his role greatly expanded. He would go to appear in several short stories and the [[Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul]] trilogy as well.

* [[Eccentric Mentor]]: Emperor Skiarkiek comes close, with his aged body, eccentric personality and odd conversational tangents (plus his preoccupation with flesh-eating fish) combined with a deep wisdom and a good nature.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Dralath, as praetor, is essentially this to Shiarkiek, the emperor (although the praetor has the real political authority, the emperor's figurehead status is still taken very seriously and his spiritual influence is extreme). Dralath even tries to manipulate public opinion by manipulating a drugged-up Shiarkiek.

* [[General Ripper]]: Admiral Volskiar, with the Klingons as his "enemy X":

{{quote|Think, Romulans, of our colony worlds. Think of the honest, hardworking, loyal men and women who ask nothing but to serve the Empire. Now picture foreigners imperiling those Romulan men, women, yes, Romulan children. And such invaders do threaten, brutish creatures who know nothing of honour, nothing of glory: Klingons! Klingons who know nothing but blood lust! You ask, how can this be? Have we not dealt peacefully with the Klingons, even purchased warships from them? Yes! We made that mistake! We let them sell us faulty ships - but no more! That was all part of their plan to weaken us, then overwhelm us. }}
