Andorian



Homeworld: Andoria, Class M with a gravity of 0.9, located in the Alpha Quadrant.

Classification: Humanoid.

Appearance: Blue-skinned with bilateral antennae, characteristically white hair and wrinkled foreheads. Although they appear slim they conceal well-muscled bodies.

Lifespan: 120 years.

Unique Abilities: Antennae are extensions of the sinus cavities, giving the Andorians a great sensitivity to variations in pressure and temperature. Andorians are somewhat faster in movement and reaction time than humans.

Personality Traits: Andorians are extremely disciplined, possessing a strong sense of duty and personal honor, and so they make excellent military officers. Though they are stoic and largely unsentimental, they do respect and revere family ties. Andorians are fond of technology, but they insist on its use with respect for nature. Andorians are often incorrectly viewed as humorless. Andorians are hard working and often feel uncomfortable when invited to pursue purely recreational activities or pastimes. Their curt refusals often make them seem prudish or unsociable, while in fact they simply don't have a strong cultural pragmatism for engaging in such activities. Andorians are also reluctant to enter into strong personal relationships.

Government: Unknown.

Organization: Ally of the United Federation of Planets.
