Changes: Cairn

Revision as of 16:56, 23 February 2006

The Cairn are a telepathic species who are so far advanced telepathically that they have lost the ability to communicate verbally. Due to their advanced nature, other telepathic species would have difficulty communicating with the Cairn, though it is possible.

Ambassador Lwaxana Troi was assigned to help the Cairn integrate with the Federation by both communicating with them telepathically and teaching them to communicate verbally with the help of artificial voice boxes. This caused strain on her and that, coupled with working with Hedril, a Cairn youth, brought back painful memories involving the death of her daughter Kestra. (TNG: "Dark Page")

In the non-canon novel "Articles of the Federation", the Cairn are said to have definitely joined the Federation.
