The Andorians (Second Human Empire: Hamo Wikki'ooiin Zooiij'kjji) The Andorians were a humanoid species from the moon of Andor. They were distinguishable by their blue skin, white hair and antennae. The Andorian state was the Andorian Empire, one of the founding Federation Member States.

Biology[]

Andorians have blue-skinned with white or silver hair. Some individuals had fleshy protruding structures above their eyes instead of eyebrows.

An Andorian subspecies called the Aenar has white skin and, unlike blue Andorians, are blind and telepathic unlike the mainstream Andorian. Andorians and Aenar are genetically compatible and can produce offspring.

Andorians, with a higher metabolic rate than Humans, are especially vulnerable to phase pulse infection; even minor phase injuries can prove fatal. which could theoretically permit a Human opponent to best an Andorian in hand-to-hand combat by simply exhausting them. This also made them especially vulnerable to phase-pulse infection; even minor phase-pistol injuries could prove fatal. However, they have demonstrated resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions. In a climate where the temperature is near the boiling point of water, an Andorian can still thrive, despite losing 10% of their body weight in two days.

Since Andorian physiology makes intravenous injection impossible, physicians administer medication through intermuscular injections instead.

Reproduction[]

The Andorian species was uniquely composed of four sexes. For a long time this was the source of a population crisis for the Andorian people as they struggled to maintain replacement rates for the species.

Antennae[]

One of the most distinctive traits of Andorians and Aenar was a pair of antennae on top of their heads. The antennae were moved by voluntary muscles and could be controlled separate from one another. They also provide aid in balance, so if an Andorian was to become partially disabled in the short term, and unable to fight, but can adapt to its loss within a day. Antennae take up to nine months to regrow, though electrical stimulation and cranial massage therapy can cut regeneration time in half.

Such movement can express feelings as well; Andorians can point their antennae at potential mates to signify attraction.

The placement of Andorian antennae has at least four different variations. They can sprout antennae from their frontal skullbones, some could be found further back, off their parietal bones. Yet others have longer and thinner antennae.

Nuyi'zu Universe[]

The Andorians from the Nuyi'zu Universe were originally conquers unlike their other versions, intended to expand their empire beyond the stars until they came into contact with the Terran Empire and fought a bloody conflict against them for supremacy, they were ultimately defeated and became a client race under the rule of the Terrans, eventually slowly becoming one of their strongest and loyal warriors in the reign of Spock. But after the Terran Empire fell by the Combine and the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, many resisted them until the Combine wiped out many of their species among those that have.
