Sorahl was a male Vulcan, born in 2027, the son of Sotir and T'Lera, and the grandson of Savar. In 2045, as a senior cadet in the Vulcan Offworld Service officer training program, he was selected as navigator of an observational mission to Earth, aboard a vessel commanded by his mother, T'Lera. They returned several months ahead of schedule, thanks to Sorahl's encounter with a Vulcan robot ship. During their return, T'Lera removed memories of the future Starfleet officers from Sorahl's mind, and neither reported this information during their post-mission debriefings.
