- The Xindi consist of six known species who all evolved on the same planet – Xindus. A civil war several hundred years ago resulted in the destruction of their homeworld and the extinction of a species.

- In gratitude for admittance into the Federation, the Xindi have granted fellow members exclusive access to their renewable energy network in the Delphic Expanse. It’s unlike anything we’ve seen before.

- Dialogue
- It’s quite remarkable, really. According to the Xindi, an interstellar grid of spheres harness reserves from surrounding thermobaric clouds and converts the output into a renewable source of energy.

- That’s why I’m contacting you. They’ve granted a small group of Starfleet engineers access to the grid in order to study it. They’ve also requested that you personally accompany the engineers to the Expanse.
