Katric ark
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
A katric ark is a polycrystalline vessel said to have been used by the ancient Vulcans to preserve a katra after death. (ENT: "Awakening")
A set of katric arks were discovered at P'Jem monastery, but efforts by the Vulcan Science Academy to determine whether they contained katras (including a Vulcan mind meld) failed.
Syrran, leader of the Syrrannite movement, discovered Surak's katra inside a katric ark on Vulcan in 2137. (ENT: "The Forge")
- The arks serve a similar purpose and may be in some way similar to the receptacles used by Sargon's people.
