Vulcan Isolationist Movement

The Vulcan Isolationist Movement (VIM) was a group of Vulcan extremists introduced in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Gambit.

Much like the Logic Extremists before them, the VIM sought the withdrawal of Vulcan from the United Federation of Planets and the purging of all "alien" elements from Vulcan society.

Led by T'Paal, in 2370 the group attempted to reassemble the Stone of Gol, an ancient Vulcan psionic resonator that enabled users to kill others through telepathy. Due to the intervention of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise, the VIM failed to reassemble the resonator, and all three component pieces were destroyed by Vulcan authorities. T'Paal was taken in to custody, and Vulcan security began to hunt down the rest of the movement, which was officially designated a terrorist movement.
