How Old Star Trek’s New Vulcan Is Compared To Spock & T’Pol

Summary

• Lieutenant T'Lyn from Star Trek: Lower Decks is older than Lieutenant Spock but younger than Subcommander T'Pol from previous Star Trek series.
• Vulcans have a longer lifespan than humans but can develop a neurological disease called Bendii Syndrome.
• T'Lyn's age in Star Trek: Lower Decks aligns with T'Pol's age in Star Trek: Enterprise, making them similar in age compared to Spock.

Star Trek: Lower Decks' new Vulcan, Lieutenant T'Lyn (Gabrielle Ruiz), is of comparable age to Star Trek: Enterprise's Subcommander T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) and she is older than Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck). T'Lyn was introduced in Lower Decks season 2 as a Lower Decker serving on the Vulcan ship Sh'vhal. When T'Lyn saved her ship during a conflict between Klingons, Pakleds, and the USS Cerritos, she was transferred to Starfleet and stationed on the Cerritos as a provisional Ensign. However, T'Lyn was quickly promoted to Lieutenant, junior grade.
Vulcans are relatively long-lived and can roughly double the lifespan of humans, although some elderly Vulcans can develop Bendii Syndrome, a neurological disease that affects their telepathy. In Star Trek: Lower Decks' late 24th century era, numerous Vulcans serve in Starfleet, but this was a much rarer thing in previous generations of Star Trek. T'Pol was the first Vulcan to join Starfleet in Star Trek: Enterprise season 3, and when Spock became a Starfleet Officer a century later, Vulcans in Starfleet were still relatively uncommon compared to the 24th century. Spock did attend Starfleet Academy, which neither T'Pol nor T'Lyn did, which accounts for why the two female Vulcans were introduced to be much older than the iconic Mr. Spock.
