''I'm kinda new here! I'll remove this part of my blurb once I've posted a bit more, and know a tad more about this place.''

About me
Hence my name and about on the wiki - I'm an avid fan of Star Trek, and have been for three years counting - and I'm a proud member of STARFLEET International. I specifically have a taste for the classic Treks, but I'm not too closed to the newer series (at the moment my interest is focused on the Xindi from Enterprise, but I'll get to that later). Except Discovery; I did not like that show... feel free to try and change my mind though.

I found the Xindi and the Xindi-arc from Enterprise: season 3 particularly fascinating - I don't know whether it was their extreme biological diversity, their emotional story ark, their advanced technology or the fact that they just look amazing; but something about them intrigued me, and gave me something to dig my sci-fi teeth into. My knowledge on the Xindi primarily comes from Enterprise (that's a given), but I've also read "The Expanse" by J.M. Dillard, and watched the "Crossroads" episode from ST: Prodigy, which featured some Xindi-reptilians. I'm in the process of getting on hands on "Last full measure" written by Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels, which is another book written on the Xindi story arc.

If there are any other canon/beta canon sources containing any information on the Xindi that you know about, I'd appreciate it if you informed me of their existence - I like to keep myself and my works (if I do make any) on the Xindi up to date and accurate.

What I'm working on
As you may have guessed - what I do here will be largely focused on the Xindi. I have many projects that I'd like to do - but there's no telling when I'll finish them. Said projects include creating an inter-species Xindi language, investigating what the Xindi homeworld - Xindus - would've been like prior to its destruction, plotting each Xindi species' biology, constructing diagrams of certain Xindi technology, trying to determine what each species' culture would be like/similar to, and whatever comes to mind - as long as it's Xindi-related. I'm planning on posting my ideas to my wall, and possibly to community posts. I'm still relatively new, and figuring out what goes where (note to future self: edit this once you know a bit more).

I try and base what I do off of cannon as much as I can - and if I can't get information, I'll refer to beta-cannon or try and deduce things from existing scientific facts. I'll try and avoid sucking things out of my thumb as far as possible - and if I do, I'll make it known that I am doing as such.

Collaborations/requests
I'm interested in doing collaborations with anyone that's interested - it can be artwork, written works, anything really - again, as long as it's related to the Xindi. My work schedules are usually unpredictable, but I'll always ensure that I'll get my side of a project submitted when I'm expected to do so, and I'll always let you know what my schedule is like prior to confirming anything.

As for requests, I'd love to hear some ideas from all of you - it gives me something to do, as well as gives me motivation to finish projects.

I'd always appreciate any suggestions/corrections anyone my have regarding my posts or projects.

My current posts
I'll be updating this list as it grows.

I've made an "educated guess" sort of study on how long the Xindi species live, respectively. I posted it as a reply to a post called "Xindi species lifespans" here on the wiki - and I plan to post a modified version on my wall.
