Vulkanette

Vulkanettes are a sapient humanoid race in Michael Herbig's Bullyparade universe, originating in the RTL radio show Raumschiff Sonderpreis. The species is a parody on the Vulcan species in the Star Trek universe.

Description
According to an interview with Herbig, there are two subspecies of the Vulkanette, the Vulkanette vulgaris and the Vulkanette brutalis. The Vulkanette vulgaris is known of being descendend from the Galápagos tortoise which makes it possible for the subspecies to reach a very old age, up to 400 years. Little is known about the brutalis subspecies. The only thing Herbig says about it is that the Vulkanette brutalis is kind of the R-rated version of the vulgaris subspecies.

At least the Vulkanette vulgaris is known as a very emotional species. The emotional state of a Vulkanette can be identified by its ears. If the ears of the Vulkanette are pointed upwards, the Vulkanette is in a keen or arousing state. If the ears stick out slightly, the Vulkanette is very relaxed while ears pointed downwards is a sign of a sad or even depressed Vulkanette.

The only known member of the species is Mr. Brigitte Spuck, nicknamed "Spucki", the homosexual first officer and second-in-command of the Surprise or rather the USS Hasselhoff. His first name may imply that male Vulkanettes have female first name.
