The V'Shar, also known as Vulcan Security, was one of the security and intelligence agencies responsible for the security of Vulcan and its people. In 2370, the V'Shar was headed by the Minister Satok.
In 2370, T'Paal, a member of the Vulcan Isolationist Movement, posed as an undercover member of the V'Shar to Captain Jean-Luc Picard while seeking out the Stone of Gol. When Commander William Riker later contacted the V'Shar regarding the mission, Minister Satok confirmed the V'Shar had no operatives aboard any mercenary ships. (TNG: "Gambit, Part II")
