Encyclopedia
Andorians are a fiction
al race of humanoid
extraterrestrials
created by D. C. Fontana
for the Star Trek
universe. They are native to the icy M-class
moon Andoria (also called Andor), which orbits a blue, ringed
gas giant
. Definitive traits include their blue
skin
, a pair of cranial
antenna
e, and white
hair
. Andorians first appeared in the 1968 Star Trek: The Original Series
episode "Journey to Babel", and have been seen or mentioned in episodes of subsequent series in the Star Trek franchise. They were indicated to be a vital, important member of the United Federation of Planets
in the 1997 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
episode "In the Cards", but did not gain considerable exposure until the 2001-2005 series Star Trek: Enterprise
, on which they were utilized as recurring characters, most notably in the person of Shran, a starship commander who maintained a sometimes adversarial and begrudging friendship with Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer
. On that series, viewers learned more about Andorian ships, the home planet Andoria, and the culture and history of Andorians and their subspecies, the Aenar, than had previously been established to date. The 2004 episode "Zero Hour" established that Andorians were one of the four founding members of the United Federation of Planets.

and balancing

There are at least two Andorian subspecies: those with blue skin, the majority of the population; and the more reclusive, blue-white-skinned Aenar, long considered a myth until contact was remade with blueskins circa 2154 in the episode "The Aenar". The Aenar are blind, but exhibit telepathic
and telemetric
abilities. Aenar appear to use their antennae as telepathic receptors.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation
episode "Data's Day", Lt Cmdr Data
says that "Andorian marriages typically require groups of four people, unless...." It is unknown what Data intended to say, as he was interrupted before he could complete the statement. Subsequent Trek novels have elaborated on this, describing the Andorian race as having four gender
s: thaan and chen (roughly equivalent to male), plus shen and zhen (female). The Andorian marriage rite is called a shelthreth and requires all four genders to procreate.
Andorians have an intense dislike and mistrust of other races, particularly humans and Vulcans, and frequently refer to humans using the pejorative
"pink-skin." Their mistrust of Vulcans is illustrated in the Enterprise episode "The Andorian Incident", in which a long-range surveillance post is discovered hidden within a Vulcan monastery on the planet P'Jem. It is also in this episode that the Andorian captain, Shran, first comes to see Enterprise captain Jonathan Archer
as an objective, honorable man, after Archer turns over scans of the outpost to Shran, in order to provide his people with proof of the outpost.
Their first encounter with the Vulcan
s was promising, but relations soured in time. The two species held territorial negotiations for eight years in the 2060s.
About 2104, Andorians made contact with the Aenar, dispelling their mythological status.
Andorians terraform
ed the planet Weytahn, only to have it annexed by the Vulcans. In 2151, the Andorian Imperial Guard discovered a Vulcan spy station hidden on the monastery
world P'Jem.
In 2153, the Guard sent a ship into the Delphic Expanse in vain, to capture a Xindi weapon to use against Vulcan. The next year, Andorian commander
Shran helped counter the Xindi threat to Earth.
In 2161, Andorians—along with humans, Tellarite
s, and Vulcans—founded the United Federation of Planets
.
At the 2260s conference at Babel which took up the admission of Coridan, the Andorians were represented, in part, by ambassador Shras.
In the 2270s, a number of Andorians served aboard the refitted starship
Enterprise
. In 2291, a painting of a notable Andorian graced the conference room of the Enterprise-A.
In 2371, the gerontological
doctor
Ghee P'Trell of Andor was nominated for the Carrington Award. (The script referred to the character as 'Chirurgeon', a title derived from Greek, meaning surgeon.)
. The Vulcans annex the Andorian planet Weytahn, which the Vulcans call Paan Mokar. By the 2100s, the two had entered a cold war of sorts.
In 2161, Andorians and Vulcans put their differences aside and formed the United Federation of Planets
with Terran
s and Tellarite
s. It is stated in part II of the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly" that Jonathan Archer
was Ambassador to Andoria from 2169 to 2175.
Andoria is an icy moon orbiting a ringed gas giant
. It has also been referred to as Andor. In a DVD bonus feature for the 4th season of Enterprise, episode writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens stated that Andor was the gas giant, Andoria the moon, and that this was a conscious effort to address the discrepancy. Most of its cities are built underground to take advantage of geothermal
warmth. Temperatures have been known to reach 28 degrees below zero Celsius in the summer. Andoria has at least one moon or neighboring planet. Andorians share their homeworld with an obscure telepathic subspecies, Aenar, which have either light blue or white skin.
The non-canonical Star Trek: Star Charts cites Andor as the seventh planet in orbit about the star Procyon
(Alpha Canis Minoris) in the Alpha quadrant. Andor is near Betazed, Earth

and antennae used for both quadriscopic vision reception and focused hearing. These points were repeated in the 1980s book Worlds of the Federation. Fully insectoid races seen onscreen include the unseen Jarada in the Next Generation episode "The Big Goodbye", and the Xindi, which were introduced in Star Trek: Enterprises third season.
In the Deep Space Nine
relaunch novels, four-person Andorian marriages were extrapolated into four sexes—the two roughly male thaan and chan, and the two female-like shen and zhen. The novels imply that the rarity of compatible foursomes produced extremely low reproduction rates which, in tandem with genetic weaknesses, led to the species' near extinction.
Similarly, the Marvel
comic book Star Trek: Starfleet Academy refers to complex yet flexible marital structures, involving one or more fathers, and describes Andorians as passionate, with a violent history.
In the 2010 book Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Paths of Disharmony by Dayton Ward
, Andor withdraws from the Federation in 2384. However, the Andorian government still maintains diplomatic relations with the Federation, and Andorian officers are allowed to remain in Starfleet if they so choose.
