Strangely, the remains of an Avian settlement were found on an alien planet that dated back to the 2nd millennium BC. The ruins of the settlement were used for the meeting place of the Xindi Council after their home world was destroyed.

It was only after they lost their home world that they were able to finally form a joint council with 2 members from each of the 5 species having a voice and a vote.

It took almost 75 years but finally the Avians were convinced to accept a spot on the council and each species now has 3 representatives. | ||

What has confused the experts is that all 6 species agree that they all pray to the same god. Furthermore they have never had any hostile disagreements over the many differences between how each species honours their god. They all accept those differences. In fact it is not unusual for Xindi of different species to all use the same temple even if the beliefs, images and ceremonies are nothing like those found in their own temples. | What has confused the experts is that all 6 species agree that they all pray to the same god.
