S'larin

 is a Vulcan Federation scientist working at Sierra Outpost II.

He is responsible for the development of a new prototype mine designed to distinguish Starfleet vessels from Klingon and Romulan starships through a specific material located within the hull. Starships without the specified material in their hull will cause the mines to detonate. These mines were deployed to protect the Federation Transwarp Network from the Romulans. The mines were inspired by the self-replicating mines developed by, , and during the Dominion War.

Missions involved
