History
Established during the Vulcan Age of Expansion by pre-warp sleeper ships in the 9th century, the monastery was founded by Master Haadok, who was buried in the catacombs beneath the monastery when he died.

Due to the fact that P'Jem was located near the Vulcan-Andorian border, it was the subject of numerous Andorian recon patrols in throughout the 21th to 22nd century.

In 2151, a team of Andorians led by Shran invaded the monastery, and took the monks prisoner. When a team consisting of Captain Jonathan Archer, Subcommander T'Pol, and Commander Charles Tucker III visited the monastery, they were also taken prisoner by the Andorians. Eventually managing to escape custody, they found that a covert listening post had been placed in the catacombs to be used against the Andorians. Upon discovering this, Jonathan Archer gave the data on the listening post to the Andorians and the Andorians decided to destroy the listening post. However because of Archer's intervention, the monastery was sparred.

In 2153, during the Xindi Conflict, plans were discovered following the capture of the Xindi cruiser XSS Rilik, that the Rilik's was intending to join the Xindi Fourth Fleet before the projected invasion against the Vulcan colony of P'Jem. Coalition forces quickly moved to secure the colony but arrived a hour too late as the Xindi Fourth Fleet deployed shock-troops to the Vulcan colony, attacking the pacifist monastery community. The use of chemical weapons caused thousands of civilian deaths before the the Reptilians were forced into retreat. The Xindi fleet attempted to draw Coalition forces towards the colony by bombarding the planet's surface, intending to use the gravity well of P'Jem to slow their advance and then use fighters to decimate the larger Coalition warships.

However ships of the Romulan Civil States under orders from newly crowned Romulan Emperor Donatra intervened just as the Xindi began to shell the Coalition Fleet, using their cloaking systems to slip in between the Xindi and P'Jem. Providing flak cover for the planet and already having the bulk of the Xindi armor faced away from them, the Romulans decimated the major warships of the Xindi while the Coalition engaged them head on. The Xindi Fourth Fleet was completed destroyed and P'Jem secured, over 9,420 Vulcans and Coalition personnel were killed during the battle, against 1,330 Xindi. Yet while five Coalition ships were lost, the entire Xindi Fourth Fleet, twelve of the New Xindus Coperative's most advanced warships, was destroyed.
