Humanoid society. The Cairn communicate telepathically and have no concept of spoken language. They applied for admission to the Federation in 2370. The Cairn exchange information telepathically, but unlike many other telepathic species, their communications involved sending images instead of words. Like Betazoids, they could communicate telepathically only with other telepaths. The Cairn sent a diplomatic mission to the Federation Starship Enterprise-D in 2370. Betazoid ambassador Lwaxana Troi accompanied the Cairn delegation so that she could use her telepathic abilities to help overcome the communication barrier.
