Native Quaderant: Alpha Quatrant

Native Planet: Xindus

Background:

There are five distinct species of Xindi: Xindi-Primate (initially called "Xindi-Humanoid"), Xindi-Reptilian, Xindi-Arboreal (sometimes called "Xindi-Sloth"), Xindi-Aquatic and Xindi-Insectoid. A sixth species, the Xindi-Avians, are now extinct: they were killed off in a war that lasted for nearly a century. These Avians lacked the same technological advances of the other species and so when the planet was destroyed they lacked the capability to leave. In the end the Xindi homeworld, Xindus, was destroyed causing the spread of the other species to nearby planets.

The Xindi Council was formed to reunify the surviving races and pursue a course of peace. Peaceful goals were abandoned when the Council was manipulated by the Guardians into believing that Human beings were planning to attack and destroy the Xindi.

To address the human threat, the Xindi begin construction on a weapon that can vaporize a planet. The weapon is tested on a limited scale during an attack on Earth. A huge swath of land from Florida to South America is vaporized in the attack and 7million are killed.




Despite their varied forms and typical mistrust, they all share a common physicality: a short vent-like opening in the "cheek."
