Xindi after Enterprise S3

What happened to the Xindi after Enterprise season 3? Have they ever turned up in books since the show finished?

Apologies if this has been covered before, but Memory Beta isn't being much help.
 
In the short story "Meet With Triumph and Disaster" from The Sky's The Limit (one of the stories that is fully compatible with the mainstream novel 'verse continuity, because not all of them are), a Xindi-Reptilian, explicitly from New Xindus, is serving as the Federation Secretary for Science and Space Exploration. This seems to suggest that the Xindi are now (2363) members of the Federation. Other than this, mentions are relatively common in the sense of "there was a Human-Xindi conflict in those early days leading up to the Federation", but we've not gotten any further clues as to where the Xindi are now.

A Xindi novel - or, hell, a Xindi series - is consistently near the top of my list of desired future projects.
 
New Xindus, and the Xindi, are confirmed members of the Federation in the short story Deranged Nasat referred to, and TLE: Serpents among the Ruins.

New Xindus is marked on a map in the Stellar Cartography. The map is reproduced on Memory Beta.

In Star Trek Online (incompatible with the novelverse unless you consider it a parallel universe), the Xindi are reclusive Federation members (explaining their absence from the galactic stage). In 2410, they share their ship classes with the members of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance to help fight the Iconian Empire and the Undine, who are - wait for it - manipulating lesser species into fighting one another... The reformed Xindi despise manipulation and falsehoods.

A Xindi-Reptilian is available as tactical bridge officer.

Also in the STO continuity, Voyager makes first contact with the Lorians - possible descendants of the long-lost Xindi-Avians. (STO novel: The Needs of the Many)

According to Rise of the Federation and Federation: The First 150 Years, the Xindi never paid reparations for their attack on America.

Yeah, I would love to do more / see more done with the Xindi.

You mean their attack on the Americas -- specifically the United States, Cuba, Jamaica, Colombia, and Venezuela. (Jamaica and Colombia were not mentioned or shown being attacked, but they would've surely been intersected by "a swath four thousand kilometers long from Florida to Venezuela.")
 
Am I remembering incorrectly but Christopher didn't you attempt to have a character be a Xindi and end up having to change it?
 
Merci for the answers! I'll check out that story, Nasat. I would love more Xindi stuff too! Markonian, I completely missed the Serpents mention (despite it being, as is commonly said here by others, one of my favourite Trek books). Whilst I don't care for Online, it's nice to hear Xindi are used in its archaeological use of all sorts of bizarre Trek-lore.

That was a Suliban. He was going to have the Vulcan assistant at the start of SCE: Aftermath be Suliban, but the powers that be were shaky about that while Enterprise was still on air, apparently.

Of course, Christopher eventually did feature a Suliban in the 24th Century Federation, and promptly had her deleted from history. Apparently it's a common problem.

Exactly. I was referring specifically to the North + South America super-continent and forgot that the English uses the plural (the Americas) whereas in German it's singular ('Amerika', meaning either United States or the Americas)

I see. Here in the US, when people say "America," they generally mean the USA alone. And here in the US, people often tend to forget that the rest of the world exists. Glad to hear that's not what you meant.

I'm always forgetting that this site has users from other countries besides the U.S. even though I have an add-on to my Firefox which displays the flag of the country in which a server is located and thus I see the UK flag for this site all the time.
