Xindi technology At the time of the Xindi crisis , Xindi technology was advanced compared with that of Starfleet . It could also be very different from any technology Human s had experience with . ( ) Each of the five remaining species had their own distinct technologies , as well as their own ship designs . Some of their technologies had been developed with the help of the highly advanced Sphere - Builder s . Partly as a result of this alliance , many of their technologies were unique to the Xindi , including their subspace portal s , and their fearsome planet - destroying capabilities . Starships . By the mid - 22nd century , all five remaining Xindi species were warp - capable . In addition , Xindi - ships had the unique ability to be able to travel through a subspace portal system , resulting in travel times considerably faster than standard warp . Standard Xindi weaponry appeared to be on par with the phase cannon s on a Starfleet ship . Xindi ships had different design lineages based upon the race who built them . Planet - destroying technology . Without a doubt the most dramatic and unique Xindi technology lied in their planet - destroying capabilities . During the 2030s , a century - long war between the six Xindi species ended dramatically when the insectoids and reptilians managed to detonate massive explosions beneath the eight largest seismic fissures of Xindus . This grim feat was helped by the fact that the homeworld was geologically unstable . More than a century later , upon learning of the so - called " Human threat , " a Xindi engineer by the name of Degra designed a large probe capable of destroying an entire planet . It may have incorporated technology from all five existing species . The final weapon was capable of generating the power necessary to obliterate an entire planet , though it required command codes from at least three of the five Xindi Council members to activate the firing sequence . The Reptilians and Insectoids planned to overcome this by brainwashing Hoshi Sato into decoding the third code , to bring the weapon online . Time travel . With the help of the Guardian s , a Xindi - Reptillian team on at least one occasion managed to travel back in time , to 2004 . ( ) Species - specific technologies . Xindi - Aquatics . As was to be expected for an aquatic species , Xindi - Aquatics were capable of building large structures underwater . ( ) Their innate distrust of the written word lead the Xindi - Aquatics to develop biometric hologram s : hard to fake visual representations of biometric info . By the mid - 22nd century , biometric holograms were used in the training of doctor s of all Xindi species . ( ) Xindi - Insectoids . Xindi - Insectoids were known to maintain hatcheries on their ships . ( ) Xindi - Reptillians . The most agressive of the Xindi species , Xindi - Reptilian s were well - armed when it came to personal combat . Seemingly uniquely amongst the Xindi species , many of their weapons incorporated biotechnology . Their deadly biorifle s possessed an organism known as a techno - larva . Its neural pathways modulated the rifle ' s power output ; Doctor Phlox considered it the most sophisticated example of bio - mechanical engineering he had ever seen . The organism could be killed with a sustained burst of delta radiation . Omicron radiation , however , caused the organism to thrive . ( ) Another hand - held weapon was the Xindi - Reptilian ray gun . ( ) The Reptilians also possessed grenade launcher s that fired organic grenade s . ( ) For reconnaissance , Reptilians used a type of flying drone called a seeker . It too had biological components , and could in fact be mistaken by a scanner for an actual Xindi biosign . ( ) Another example of Xindi bioengineering was their formidable neural parasite s , which were used for interrogations . ( ) Perhaps unsurprisingly , Xindi - Reptilians lobbied the Xindi bio - weapon as an alternative means of destroying Humanity . Their weapon was variously described as a viral agent and a toxin . A key tool for bio - weapon research was the bio - reactor . ( ) Some Xindi - Reptilians were also surgically enhanced ; their suicide gland s were a result of this . ( Reptilian body armor was very resilient , able to withstand several shots from Terran phase - pistol s , and even the more advanced MACO weaponry . ( ) The standard military Reptilian blade had a polymer - based hilt . Typically , a Xindi - Reptillian ship also contained an area called a thermal chamber , an excessively heated chamber . ( ) Other technology . A Xindi database was recovered by in 2153 , and proved to be a key intelligence find . ( ) The Xindi had the ability to refine Kemocite up to less than six parts per million of impurities . ( ) Background information . Several prop pieces of Xindi technology were sold off on the " It ' s A Wrap ! " sale and auction on eBay , including two console buttons .
