Pre-Warp

Date	Event
Pre-1284	Andoria is torn by planetary civil war. Clans form alliances, attack other clans, then break allegiance and fight each other. Chaos ensues.
1284	A clan lord, Krotus, succeeds in conquering Andoria by defeating the most powerful opposing clans before turning them against the weaker remnants. This act unites Andoria and puts an end to the hundreds of years of bitter fighting. Krotus ushers in an industrial age. Andoria begins to prosper.
1332	Krotus is assassinated by his daughter. She seizes control of his clan, but is by no means as successful at maintaining control of the planet. While technological advances continue to be made, the planet's political situation begins to rapidly destabilise.
1597	Disputes over the Tharan Mountains trade route ignite hostilities between warlords, resulting in 100 years of bitter warfare that destroys nearly everything the Andorians had built. This came to be known as the Time of Lament.
1692	Lor’Vela, a 14 year-old girl, slays her mother and takes control of her keth in response to a fever-induced dream. She calls together the leaders of the clans to the Council of Tarsk, and persuades them to forego attacks on each other in an attempt to restore Andor to its former glory. The government she set up during this time remains in effect even to this day.
c.1910	The Vulcans make first contact with the Andorians, whom they believe show promise despite their tendency towards strong emotion. The Andorians quickly reject their offers of aid and collaboration due to what they perceived as overly meddlesome behaviour.
c.1950	The Andorians and Vulcans begin a border dispute that will last for the next 200 years. The Vulcans are unsettled by neighbours that they consider to be barbaric and casually violent. The Andorians believe that the an invasion may be imminent, and rely on their ability to stage a massive counterattack as a deterrant.
c.2050	Andorians terraform Weytahn, a class-D planetoid, that lies in a strategic location close to the Vulcan homeworld. When the Vulcan demand to inspect the colony to ensure there are no military installations on the surface is denied, the Vulcans decide to forcibly evacuate the planet. The dispute rages on for many years.
2097	A treaty is signed in which the Vulcans claim Weytahn, and rename it Paan Mokar. A surveillance sattelite is placed in orbit to monitor the planet's surface.
2104	Andorians discover a hidden settlement of Aenar located below the Issan ice cap, also referred to as the Northern Wastes. Until this time, the existence of the telepathic Aenar, a subspecies of Andorians was thought to have been a myth.
2118	Andorians Develop warp travel.

Date	Event
2151	Andorians make first contact with Humans at the Vulcan sanctuary of P'Jem. While hostilities arise in the first instance, Captain Jonathan Archer's involvement in exposing a secret Vulcan listening post ingratiates him with Andorian Commander Shran.
