Lorian (species)

The Lorians were a sentient avian species from a world in the Zenas Expanse. First contact between the Lorians and the United Federation of Planets was made by the USS Voyager (NCC-74656) in 2402. They were warp-capable, but reclusive. 

Federation scientists theorized that the Lorians may be related to the extinct Xindi-Avian species, but lacked enough information about the Xindi biology to confirm the hypothesis.
