Y'see, this is how I get people to think I'm smart. [Smile]

Minor note on Xindi costumes - they're the same within the same species, but not between them. This indicates a potential lack of congruence between their respective military forces... They seem to use the same weaponry, though.

Or maybe they're just really big honking FANS (not viewers) to blow the explosion the other way. hahaha

Insectoids - Armor? We don't need no steenkin' armor! They haven't been seen much, apart from the one joing the Reptillian raid on Enterprise.

Reptillians - Decorative armor of questionable effectiveness. Definitely the main soldiers of the Xindi.

Humanoids (or Primates) - They seem to be more the administrative/governing faction.

Sloths - The engineers and scientists of the Xindi?

Aquatics - They swim. And that's all we know.

I dunno, I thought that the primates were also doing a lot of the engineering, too. After all, Gralik's facility was only handling a small part of the whole project...

Y'know, I think it was mentioned (or implied) that this weapon needed more than the 100 kilos of kemacite mentioned in the episode. Gralik said that this was their final shipment, so he's probably been supplying them with ultra-refined kemacite for a while now.
