A friendly reminder regarding spoilers! At present the expanded Trek universe is in a period of major upheaval with the continuations of Discovery and Prodigy, the advent of new eras in gaming with the Star Trek Adventures RPG, Star Trek: Infinite and Star Trek Online, as well as other post-57th Anniversary publications such as the ongoing IDW Star Trek comic and spin-off Star Trek: Defiant. Therefore, please be courteous to other users who may not be aware of current developments by using the {{spoiler}}, {{spoilers}} OR {{majorspoiler}} tags when adding new information from sources less than six months old (even if it is minor info). Also, please do not include details in the summary bar when editing pages and do not anticipate making additions relating to sources not yet in release. THANK YOU
In S31novel: Disavowed, the Silwaan were referred to as "Silgov", purportedly as a typographical error, and not in relation to the Silgovrace from Star Trek: Vanguard. For the purposes of this wiki that reference is included in this article, despite the difference in name.
As members of the Breen Confederacy, Silwaan wore the equalizing bodysuit, completely obscuring their physiology except for the fact that they were humanoid. However, movement and gait could give them away to somebody with experience with various Breen species. In 2386, Federation Breen specialist DoctorJulian Bashir recognized ThotTrom's species through his gait. (S31novel: Disavowed)
