The Xindi have made appearances in Discovery Season 4 and Prodigy Season 1 so should they appear in Season 3 or future seasons of SNW? I mean It's been a century since the events of Enterprise Season 3 (In universe that is) so it would be interesting to see how relations between Earth/Federation and the Xindi have progressed. Maybe even have Jolene Blalock return as Ambassador T'Pol to help with the Negotiations. Anyway what do you think?
 
Be worth it, they are there, even if its a background characters, don't have to have an episode explaining the past 100 years of Xindi history, just have a Xindi Aborieal at the engineering station on the bridge.. and move on.
 
They already have an Insectoid costume from DIS they could use.

Personally, I’d only be open to the Arboreal, Aquatics, and Insectoids. And maybe a long lost colony of Avians.

I don’t want to see the Primates or Reptilians, and would even be fine if it as alluded that some of the Primates and Reptilians allied with the Romulans during the Romulan War, thereby tying the Xindi conflict and the Romulan conflict together. If the writers are looking for another big swing. Though I would like if SNW officially gave the black Xindi from ENT a name. The actor that played him signs his autographs as Depac, but the novelization of the ENT S2 finale calls him Mallora.
 
Xindi territory was established as extremely far from Earth, far enough to explain why we didn't see Xindi in the 23rd or 24th centuries. Also, at the end of season 3, the Xindi still had to locate and settle a whole new homeworld, and rebuilding their civilization could easily keep them preoccupied for two centuries or more. So there's no reason to expect they must be interacting with the Federation regularly in either century, particularly the 23rd. Although the tie-in novels have occasionally featured Xindi characters participating in the Federation and Starfleet in the 24th century.

(And yes, I know there's a line in one episode saying they're just 50 light years from Earth, but that was an obvious mistake because it contradicted everything else established about the size and distance of the Delphic Expanse.)
 
The Xindi did in fact join the Federation in the alternate timeline of the Enterprise-J, so they will probably do it in the main timeline as well.

That said, no, they shouldn't turn up on SNW.
 
Seriously, I never bought it how they showed us an long abandoned Avian colony then proceed to tell us that none of the Avians were off world when the Xindi homeworld was destroyed.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing them. It wouldn't bother me if one or more was a crewmember, or we see them in background scenes if there wasn't a story for them. That goes for other species introduced on ENT as well. And it would be great seeing T'Pol again too.
