Xindi

The Xindi are an alliance of species who evolved on the same planet in the Delphic Expanse, known as Xindus, whose infamous attack on Earth and attempts to eradicate Humans in the early 2150s changed the course of history and initiated the series of events that helped establish United Earth as a major interstellar power. In at least one future timeline, the Xindi state will have by the 26th century become a Member of the United Federation of Planets.

Xindi Species
Six different intelligent species developed on Xindus; one of them, the Xindi-Avians, is believed extinct. The surviving species are united under the governance of the Xindi Council, which contains two representatives from each species.


 * Xindi-Aquatics
 * Xindi-Arboreals
 * Xindi-Insectoids
 * Xindi-Primates
 * Xindi-Reptilians

The different Xindi species are extremely similiar in their functionally-important DNA, sharing over 99.5% despite the apparent physical differences. (ENT: "The Xindi") All the Xindi species share distinctive ridges on their cheekbones and foreheads.

History
Main article: Xindi history

The Xindi have had a long and turbulent history, characterized by interspecies conflict up until the destruction of their homeworld in the 2030s. In the 2150s, they attempted to destroy Earth with a superweapon.

Culture
The Xindi nearly worship the Guardians, considering them saviors. Children are taught to revere them and give thanks to them at the end of each day. It is a terrible offense to question a Guardian. (ENT: "The Council")

Xindi pass down "initiation medals" amongst the members of a family. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
