In the first Star Trek film, Admiral Kirk successfully argues that he should be restored to the captaincy of the Enterprise because his experiences during the five year mission qualify him to meet the challenge approaching Earth. In Mirkheim, I, David Falkayn argues that his twenty plus years of trade pioneering equip him to investigate Babur. See also Admiralty, Labyrinthine Corridors II and Wisdom From The Academy.
In the third (?) Star Trek film, Kirk breaks the laws of the Federation to get Spock back. In "Lodestar," Falkayn has broken his oath of fealty to van Rijn for reasons we have discussed.
Spock, mildly telepathic, is with the Federation whereas Aycharaych, universally telepathic, is with the Roidhunate.

Kaor, Paul!
I was never a fan of STAR TREK, for reasons I don't need to repeat, so it's no surprise I had not known Mr. Spock was "mildly telepathic." Perhaps like the Ryellians mentioned in THE DAY OF THEIR RETURN?
Happy New Year! Sean
Sean,
Maybe not as strong as the Ryellians. The Vulcans have some sort of "mind meld" which enables them to exchange memories and a Vulcan transfers his memories to someone else before death.

Kaor, Paul!
And Aycharaych was able to prevent the Ryellian on Sector Governor Muratori's staff who "scanned" him from discovering his real identity. One of those cases where a telepath would need to study his subject over time to really probe him.
At least I have vaguely heard of "mind melding," even if not that it was a kind of exchange of memories by a Vulcan to another before he died.
Happy New Year! Sean
