Vulcans, for one

Answer:

ALIENRACE

Hint:

This group from sci-fi is known for their logic-driven society and pointy ears, often associated with a famous starship crew. Think beyond Earth in a popular franchise.

Explanation:

"Vulcans, for one" hints at a group they belong to—they’re a well-known extraterrestrial species from Star Trek. The clue uses "for one" to suggest the answer is a broader category, not just the name "Vulcan." Since they’re not human, the answer is a term for any non-Earth species, combined into a single word: "ALIENRACE." The wordplay is straightforward, relying on pop culture knowledge and the clue’s phrasing to point to the general type.
