The Trill are a [[humanoid]] species native to the planet Trill. A small proportion of the population co-exists with a sentient symbiotic organism, known as a symbiont, inside their bodies. The resulting joined Trill have personalities which are a synthesis of the two beings including the memories, and to some extent the personalites, of the previous hosts of the symbiont. This way, the joined being gains all the skills and occupations of the previous hosts. As late as 2367, the fact that some Trill exist as a joined symbiotic species was widely unknown, even to [[United Federation of Planets|Federation]] scientists.
== Physiology ==
The few Trill that are given a symbiont are typically joined in their early to mid-twenties. The physical process of being joined is irreversible. Once joined, the host and symbiont are dependent on each other. If the symbiont is removed the host will die, even if they are otherwise healthy. The symbiont will die within hours if not transplanted to another host.
== Society ==
Despite the relatively unusual nature of being a joined species, that aspect of their culture was widely unknown until 2367 when the Odan symbiont had to be given a new host during the middle of tense negotiations on Peliar Zel. Such a public example of the dual nature of the Trill brought to the forefront what had previously been a very private matter to Trill for several millenia.
Trill don't look for romance the way [[Human]]s do. They consider it quite a nuisance and view it as a weakness of the young. Although a Trill host may have romantic feelings on occasion, it is the symbiont's wish to live on a higher plane and to try to rise above those sorts of temptations.
Trill law forbids reassociation re-association between subsequent hosts of joined persons who were romantically involved. Trill who are found guilty of reassociation are expelled from Trill society, and their symbionts die with their current host. The Trill are a technologically advanced species and the [[Trill (planet)|Trill Science Ministry]] is a leading center of learning and experimentation.
