The Bynars are a technologically driven alien species whose frantic and high-speed communication reveals a deep binary logic underpinning their culture. They commandeer the USS Enterprise's computer systems in a desperate bid to transfer their civilization's entire digital essence, preserving their knowledge against impending doom on their homeworld. Initially agitated and evasive, their actions reveal a profound commitment to survival over confrontation.
