A Cai'Nari

[Doctor Faith Nomonor]

As far as the federation knows, there is only one of them, there may be a home planet located somewhere in the gamma or delta quadrant, but they haven't found it.

What the Federation officially knows is that the Cai'Nari they found had a much more denser bone structure than humans, making them overall sturdier, this however makes her extremely dangerous, the subject's claws are capable of lethal lacerations if not dulled and have not broken or chipped from the stress we put them under. They also found that The muscles of the Bi-pedal canine species was more compact and denser, or more is less. These two things combined makes for a deadly physical package, albeit a dietary nightmare if it weren't for replicators, it is found however, that the subject only ate one and a half larger meals than the normal crewman. A strange fascination with complicated machinery can be observed, and a faster information gatherer than most when it's on a screen of an LCARS menu instead of in a book. This strange gift also budded with replicators, the subject able to make things to her specifications, even high tech equipment and devices. Odd coloration of the skin underneath the fur may mainly be due to blood color, but the coloration of the nose leads to other suggestions. The eyes of a Cai'Nari suggest mood, though in most cases they remain the same color, but brighter or dimmer, glow cause undetermined as of yet. One of the most important, and of all things un-noticeable, the subject acts in a tribal manner and easily recognizes superiors with respect, this respect may come in various ways and forms, however it does appear that the subject does not like large gatherings. The subject also seems to react specifically to strong emotions in others.

Final testing in the training requested by the subject showed enhanced medical knowledge and ability, while excelling in all physical categories for Marine training. The final test before the subject was allowed to leave was a test of tolerance and temperament. The subject was extremely patient during this time and was highly docile, however, we were able to make the subject's eyes change to yellow, we will not indicate the actions that transpired in this report, but it is clear that she does not tolerate harm to other individuals. On the end note, such high levels of restraint would indicate loss of self control if provoked enough, causing a potentially catastrophic situation.

The Cai'Nari have three levels, Normal individuals, enhanced individuals, and Ascended individuals. within
each caste in their tribal society. which includes warriors, crafters, healers, and elders.

ascended families (they're the closest things to nobles, but not really.) are each one of a kind from the time they are born until they die. They can accept the most numerous and advanced Bio-mechanic implants and devices to improve their individual functionality to high levels, including things that aren't natural or impossible for organic life to achieve on its own within natural limits.

the enhanced receive fewer and lesser of these implants, while the normal individuals aren't compatible with them. There is no social difference between the three types of Cai'Nari, it's more like a racial boundary that is nearly invisible.

Cai'Nari ships are typically curved, circular in design. All of their ships driven by an inertia-less drives making them extremely agile. Heavy reflective armor that deflects most projectile weapons (except for missile type weapons.) and can absorb some energy fire before the hull can be touched in any way. All ships are armed with high powered repeating Ion cannons (this excludes the Harbor ship, as it is unarmed. Ion cannons are Accelerated particle cannons and have a high chance of bypassing or overloading shields and cutting straight through the hull like a knife through butter.) Cai'Nari ships have no shields (as of yet.) and no transporters.

Bigger Cai'nari ships (the Harbor ship having the most powerful.) have Phased dissembler arrays, which atomize materials (potentially anything.) and then specialized robots reassemble the atoms to create what is desired. Making it like a large scale replicator capable of building things at incredible speeds given enough resources.

Medical Examinations of Cai'Nari 'ascended' class subjects.

They are each different in body composition and personality, brain patterns and almost their genetic code even. However, the basic body structure remains the same.

Bone and muscle density is higher than human levels normally, but the ascended recipients of implants have modified them, making them stronger and less likely to injure during most activities. Mass is increased during this process. Average strength for a Cai'Nari is two times that of an athletic human. one and one half times that of a strong Klingon warrior. The bone density is evident in Cai'Nari claws, which are as strong as some superior metals, but not as strong as the hull of a ship, making them extremely deadly weapons when sharpened. Suggestion leads us to believe they are weapon and tool.

Cai'Nari appear to have natural, thin and clear fangs hidden by their top canines, it is unknown what their purpose is but these were extremely hard to see and find. We inquired about this, but they refused to answer...

We were only able to examine two of the four Cai'Nari aboard at this time, but all these are consistent at various levels...
