| - The Xyrillians were a spacefaring humanoid species from the planet Xyrillia. In 2151, the Enterprise (NX-01) made first contact with a Xyrillian spaceship that was riding in Enterprise's wake for a brief time. It eventually caused several power malfunctions on the Earth spaceship, however the Xyrillians were only trying to fuel their warp coils with the plasma exhaust. (ENT episode: "Unexpected") Xyrillians have distinct dermal plates, and they show signs of harmless bioelectric energy when they touch other people. They do not have a metabolism based on water or breathe an oxygen-based atmosphere. In fact, their high-pressure atmosphere is hallucinogenic to most species, and as a result most other humanoids need to be weaned onto and off their atmosphere to avoid undesired effects. (ENT episode: "Unexpected") They also seem to be somewhat telepathic by using certain granules to either enhance or provide the effect in the first place. This procedure of granule-induced telepathic interaction is considered a game, though it is possible that Xyrillians impregnate each other during it. It also works with other species, and most likely on both genders. In 2151, Commander Charles Tucker III was impregnated this way, and he successfully carried an embryo for at least one month. The embryo, a female one, appeared to be in healthy condition, and was later transferred to a Xyrillian host. (ENT episode: "Unexpected") It is to be noted, that the Xyrillians were using highly sophisticated holography. They were capable of recreating various places and landscapes from their homeworld, as well as other planets, if provided with necessary topographical information. In 2151, they exchanged this holographic technology with the Klingon Empire after a demonstration in which they created the Klingon homeworld. (ENT episode: "Unexpected") In the 2260s, Starfleet was attempting to adapt Xyrillian duplication chambers for use aboard Federation starships. (TOS novel: The Case of the Colonist's Corpse) By the 24th century, Xyrillia eventually became a member of the United Federation of Planets. (TOS novel: Captain's Glory)
- Xyrillians had an unusual physiology. They did not have a metabolism based on water or breathe an oxygen-based atmosphere. In fact, their high-pressure atmosphere was hallucinogenic to most species, and as a result, most other humanoids needed to be weaned onto and off their atmosphere to avoid undesired effects. When traveling, Xyrillians grew edible vegetation on the walls of their ships, and had eel-like creatures swimming in tanks. Xyrillians could pass electricity via tactile contact, though this was painless and could even be pleasant. It is unknown if the Xyrillians kept the eels as food, decoration, pets, or any other purpose. Xyrillians also had dermal plating, which they found necessary for detecting each other's moods. Apart from this plating and the fact they were slightly shorter than the typical Human, there weren't many obvious physical characteristics that distinguished Xyrillians from Humans. Xyrillian males usually carried infants to term in a pouch on the upper chest. They served only as hosts, and the offspring only contained genetic material from the mother. Impregnation could occur with only minor physical contact and could be unintentional on the mother's part. Humans and Xyrillians were genetically compatible, as Commander Tucker discovered when he was impregnated by a Xyrillian female. He also developed a nipple on his wrist, but it is unknown if this occurred with Xyrillian males as well or if it was a weird reaction of inter-species reproduction with Humans.
- The Xyrillians are a species of space-faring humanoid being whose skin is almost entirely covered by smooth brown scales. Xyrillian metabolism is highly different from that of Humans and most other races, as it isn't based on water. They are a peaceful, reclusive and technologically-advanced culture. Xyrillian biology doesn't require either water or oxygen for its metabolism. They live on a very dense, high-pressured atmosphere. Curiously, despite the fact that Xyrillians are not oxygen-breathers, Humans can still survive in their atmosphere without the need for a space-suit, but will suffer from hallucinogic effects if they don't spend some time in a "weaning chamber" before entering it. Also oddly, due to biological differences, Humans seem to be able to eat Xyrillian food and even become pregnant with Xyrillian offspring. Xyrillian copulation can occur with minimal physical contact between male and female. After it, it is the male who becomes pregnant, carrying the offspring in a pouch in the upper chest region. According to Dr. Phlox's analysis, males of this species serve only as hosts, and the offspring only contains genetic material from its mother. Human Starfleet officer Charles Tucker was once impregnated by a female Xyrillian, and the embryo started developing inside his body. Even more oddly is that Tucker developed a nipple on his wrist. Whether this was a weird reaction of the Human body or a natural one which occurs in Xyrillian males as well is unclear, but the former seems more likely since Xyrillian females have breasts, indicating that they nourish the young. Xyrillian starships are of rather interesting design, and their internal walls are used to grow edible vegetation, which gives them a peculiarly organic look. There is also an aquarium filled with several eel-like creatures swimming freely. Whether these are also used for food, are simply decorative or have yet other functions is still unclear. Xyrillians have amazing stealth technology and have also developed holodeck technology long before Humans, Vulcans or Klingons, although in 2151 they did give this technology to Klingons in payment for not being destroyed after the Xyrillian starship was discovered secretly hiding within the warp plasma field of a Klingon ship and trying to use the Klingons' plasma wake to generate power, since the Xyrillians were having trouble with their own engines.
- Xyrillians hebben een ongebruikelijke fysiologie. Zo hebben ze geen metabolisme dat op water gebaseerd is en kunnen ze leven zonder zuurstof in te ademen. Ze hebben een hogedruk atmosfeer die hallucinerend werkt op andere rassen. Hierdoor worden de andere rassen geadviseerd om hun atmosfeer niet te betreden. Tijdens hun reizen groeit er vegetatie aan de muren van hun schepen. Xyrillian mannen dragen de ongeboren foetussen in een buidel op de borst. De bevruchting vindt al bij zeer gering lichamelijk contact plaats. Mensen en Xyrillians zijn in staat om zich voort te planten. Commandant Tucker van de Enterprise zou hier achter komen toen hij zwanger raakte van Ah'len. De Xyrillians waren in 2151 technologisch gezien veel verder dan de mensheid. Ze hadden technologie waarmee ze in staat waren om in een kamer alle bekende omgevingen na te bootsen (zie holodek).
