==History==
Since their discovery by the [[Andorian]] government in 2104, the Aenar have preferred to remain in seclusion. They have kept contact with the [[Andorian|Andorians]], but aside from playing a role in a [[Romulan]] attempt to destabilize politics in the [[MA:Alpha Quadrant|Alpha Quadrant]] in 2154 they have played only a minor part in galactic history. A few [[Andorian|Andorians]] who have served in [[MA:Starfleet|Starfleet]] have been recorded as having some Aenar ancestry.

[[Image:Lissan.jpg|thumb|150px|''In 2154, [[MA:Lissan|Lissan]] was chosen to act as speaker for the Aenar. This position was temporary, until the visitors to the Aenar city departed.'']]
 
==Government==
The Aenar have no system of leadership, implying an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarian egalitarian] regime. Whenever it is necessary, the Aenar select one of their number as a speaker to represent their collective wishes. Using [[MA:Telepathy|telepathy]] to communicate with others of their species, the speaker is quickly able to canvas the opinion of many Aenar in order to arrive at an acceptable course of action when required. In 2154 an Aenar named [[MA:Lissan|Lissan]] acted as speaker for her people in response to a communiqué from the [[Andorian]] Chancellor.
 
==Description==
The Aenar are an [[Andorian]] sub-species (specifically a strain of the Bish’ee species) native to the Northern Wastes of the moon [[MA:Andoria|Andor]]. Similar in appearence to [[Andorian|Andorians]], they lack skin pigment giving them a paler appearence than thier [[Andorian]] cousins. They are also completely blind, but highly [[MA:Telepathy|telepathic]]. Their population, during the mid-22nd century, consisted of only a few thousand.
 
[[Image:JhamelandShran.jpg|thumb|150px|''Commander [[MA:Shran|Shran]] and [[MA:Jhamel|Jhamel]], who would eventually become a part of the same breeding group.'']]
[[Image:ShranandTalla.jpg|thumb|''[[MA:Talla|Talla]], an [[Andorian]]/Aenar hybrid, with her father, [[MA:Shran|Shran]].'']]
 
==Physiology==
The Aenar are physiologically very similar to the [[Andorian|Andorians]], with two antennae sprouting from their heads, although the antennae of the Aenar have small indentations in the funnel shaped tips. The Aenar are completely blind and have no skin or hair pigment, resulting in a pale white appearance (similar to [[human]] albinos). On average they stand between 1.7 and 2.2 metres tall, and are roughly of the same build as the average [[human]]. Their metabolism is high, a trait that has been evolved to aid their survival in the sub-freezing temperatures of the planet’s polar ice-cap. Their blood is cobalt-based.
 
The most distinctive trait of the Aenar, however, are their highly evolved [[MA:Telepathy|telepathic]] abilities. An Aenar is capable of reading minds and of [[MA:Telepathy|telepathically]] projecting itself to other [[MA:Humanoid|humanoids]]. They use [[MA:Telepathy|telepathy]] to communicate amongst themselves. Being that they are a subspecies of [[Andorian]], therefore actually a member of the same species, they are completely genetically compatible with [[Andorian|Andorians]], allowing for the birth of hybrid offspring. Such hybrids often retain the strongest abilities of their genetic donors, as the offspring of the breeding group that contained [[MA:Jhamel|Jhamel]], [[MA:Shran|Shran]], Shenar, and Vishri produced [[MA:Talla|Talla]], who retained both [[MA:Telepathy|telepathy]] and the ability to see.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
==Psychology==
The Aenar are a private and pacifistic people. Their [[MA:Telepathy|telepathic]] abilities are considerable, but they have a strict tenet that forbids them from reading the thoughts and minds of others without express permission. On meeting Commander [[MA:Shran|Shran]] in 2154, [[MA:Jhamel|Jhamel]] immediately apologized for having sensed the loss of his partner, [[MA:Talas|Talas]], despite having done so unintentionally due to [[MA:Shran|Shran’s]] tumultuous emotional state.
The Aenar are strong-willed, and will often adhere to their ideals of pacifism in the face of danger, despite the potential harm it may cause to them. They deplore violence, and it was this sentiment that caused [[MA:Lissan|Lissan]] to question the actions of [[MA:Jhamel|Jhamel]] when she decided to become involved with the allied forces led by [[MA:Jonathan Archer|Jonathan Archer]] to save her brother from the [[Romulan|Romulans]] in 2154. Aside from being telepathically contacted by his sister, it was the realization of the number of people for whose deaths he was responsible that gave [[MA:Gareb|Gareb]] the strength to resist his conditioning and command the [[MA:Romulan drone-ship|drone-ships]] he was controlling to destroy each other. He did so even knowing that it would lead to his execution.
In contrast to the [[Andorian|Andorians’]] somewhat passionate mentality, the Aenar enjoy more subtle forms of music, and are more receptive to emotions and sentiments that may be considered weak by outsiders.
 
==Mythology==
The Aenar themselves form a part of [[Andorian]] mythology, as they were believed not to exist until their discovery beneath the Northern Wastes of the Issa ice cap.
 
==Society==
[[Image:AenarCity.jpg|thumb|''The Aenar city, built below ground in the [[Andorian]] Northern Wastes.'']]
The Aenar civilization is built in an expansive system of caverns beneath the Issan ice cap. Circular pod-like modules are attached to rock supports to provide dwellings for the Aenar people, along with facilities such as hospitals, libraries and other public services. Access to the service is gained through a system of tunnels that have deliberately been made confusing to navigate. This is to prevent unwanted discovery by outsiders. The Aenar have been known to deliberately mask the senses of those who are trying to find them, or trying to leave the compound against the will of the Aenar. This is achieved by using [[MA:Telepathy|telepathic]] projections.
 
[[Image:AenarHair.jpg|thumb|''An example of the traditional Aenar braid.'']]
[[Image:AenarVeil.jpg|thumb|150px|''[[MA:Jhamel|Jhamel]] wearing the traditional Aenar veil.'']]
 
==Culture & Customs==
Due to their reclusive behaviour very little is known of Aenar culture. However, from what outsiders have managed to learn it has been proven that the Aenar are a benevolent species. While they prefer not to be disturbed by people from outside their settlement they will offer help to those who need it. Their ideals of non-violence and pacifism are very rarely broken.
Reading an individual’s thoughts without permission is considered a violation. Accidental occurences are often resolved with an apology, but a prolonged or regular series of incidents (while very rare) incurs expulsion from the Aenar settlement – the only solution that removes the problem without resorting to violence.
 
While the Aenar do not follow the [[Andorian]] clan system, many of them choose to devote their life to the study of science or medicine.
 
Aenar ''[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Zhen zhen]'' and ''[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Andorian_genders shen]'' often wear a white translucent veil that covers the lower half of their faces. Their hair is often worn long, and tied in braids behind their heads. White is the favoured colour of Aenar garments, despite their inability to see the colours of the fabrics they produce.
 
[[MA:Ice Bore|Ice Bore]] worms commonly reside in the icy expanses of the Issa cap. As such, they often travel through the Aenar settlement. While such creatures are dangerous due to their need to generate heat through and internal chemical reaction, they pose no threat to the Aenar who are able to sense their presence [[MA:Telepathy|telepathically]]. Children are often known to pursue swarms of [[MA:Ice Bore|Ice Bores]], tracking them with their [[MA:Telepathy|telepathic]] senses and attempting to track them through the labyrinthine tunnels around the city.
 
[[Image:IceBores.jpg|thumb|150px|''[[MA:Ice Bores|Ice Bores]] are harvested by the Aenar due to their ability to produce heat through an internal chemical reaction.'']]
==Economy==
[[MA:Ice Bore|Ice Bores]] are often harvested from around the Aenar city, as they are useful for a number of scientific and engineering-related purposes. Aside from this, the Aenar tend not to trade with the outside world. Their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarian egalitarian] culture leaves them with no need for currency or trade, as they are able to exist in a self-supportive state.
 
==Technology==
The Aenar share the same level of technological capability as the [[Andorian|Andorians]], as they have access to advances made by the [[Andorian]] government. In the past, the Aenar developed technology independently from their blue-skinned cousins, and were able to use a large dampening field to shield their city from detection. They were also recorded as having developed dermal regeneration technology.
 
==Federation Intelligence Files==
The Aenar are not widely known across the galaxy. They are somewhat of an [[Andorian]] internal affair. As the [[Andorian]] species is reportedly in decline, it is reasonable to assume that this is also true of the Aenar, whose numbers were already limited on their discovery. Should the [[Andorian|Andorians]] find a way to solve this crisis, it would most likely come into Aenar possession as well.

=Andoria=
 
[[Image:Andoria.jpg|thumb|150px|''Andoria is a frigid moon in orbit of the planet Andor VII.'']]
'''Andoria''' is a frigid M-Class moon that orbits the fifth planet (a ringed gas giant) in the Andorian system. Approximately 85% of the moon's surface is covered in water, and the moon is characterized by two large ice caps at its poles. These are much bigger than those found on Earth.
 
Andoria is one of the five founding worlds of the [[MA:United Federation of Planets|United Federation of Planets]]. It is in close proximity to [[Vulcan]], with whose people the [[Andorian|Andorians]] endured great conflict for many years. Andoria forms the capital of the Andorian Empire, and is home to the [[Andorian|Andorians]] and their offshoot species, the [[Aenar]]. Andoria is relatively close to the Sol system.
 
Andoria is also referred to as ''Andor'', both by [[Andorian|Andorians]] and off-worlders.
 
==History==
[[Andorian]] history is characterised by periods of extreme turbulence, which reflects the people's tendencies towards violence. Records from before 1692 (Earth-Gregorian) may be of limited value, as nearly all of Andoria's historical documents were destroyed during periods of global civil war.

==Geography==
Many [[Andorian]] cities are subterranean, using geothermal energy to warm them in order to make habitation more comfortable. They connected by thousands of kilometers of ice tunnels. The surface is referred to as bracingly cold, even by the [[Andorian|Andorians]] themselves, as the temperature only ever rises above zero degrees centigrade during rare heatwaves. Scientists theorise that it was in volcanic rifts, and in underground pockets near the planet's core that temperatures were warm enough for life to evolve.
 
[[Image:AndorianMap.jpg|center]]
 
There are 4 continents on Andoria, Issa (Northern Ice-Cap), Ka’thela, Tlanek (Southern Ice-Cap) and Voral. Ka’thela and Voral are connected by the Tharan Mountains.
 
Lor'Tan is the largest city on Andoria, although its administrative capital is Laibok. Borders between countries do not exist, instead various areas are controlled by different ''kith'', similar to a tribal territorial system.
 
===Andorian Landmarks===
*The [[MA:Andorian Academy|Andorian Academy]] is considered one of the foremost educational institutions for artists within the entire [[MA:United Federation of Planets|Federation]].
*The [[MA:Wall of Heroes|Wall of Heroes]] is a place on Andoria where fallen members of the Imperial Guard can be honoured by depositing a vial of their blood.
*The [[MA:Mountains of Andoria|Andorian Mountains]] are considered to be a place of outstanding natural beauty within the galaxy, and many newlywed couples visit them as a honeymoon location.
 
===Zoology===
*The [[MA:Andorian Amoeba|Andorian Amoeba]] holds particular scientific interest due to its somewhat unique reproduction system. Through fusing with another single cell organism, the amoeba produces a completely new species.
*[[MA:Andorian bull|Andorian Bulls]] are known for their extremely aggressive dispositions.
*[[MA:Andorian redbat|Andorian Redbats]] are considered by some to be a great delicacy.
*[[MA:Andorian tuber root|Andorian tuber roots]] are extremely high in calorific content. As such they make ideal additions to emergency provisions.
[[Image:IceBore.jpg|thumb|150px|''[[Andorian]] [[MA:Ice bore|Ice Bores]]''.]]
*In the polar regions of Andoria, [[MA:Ice bore|Ice Bore]] swarms often congregate. These worms are able to produce heat internally through a chemical reaction, and are harvested by the [[Aenar]] for worldwide distribution.
*Sharing a similarity with horses on Earth, [[MA:Zabathu|Zabathu]] are often used as mounts by [[Andorian]] riders.
 
==Politics==
All [[Andorian|Andorians]] are members of clans, or ''keth'', which specialise in different professional skills. These ''keth'' all have different views, which need to be represented in some way in the global government. As such, the Kethni council, made up of a number of members from different ''keth'' is the global government of Andoria, and it comprises around 300 members. Legislation, as well as the election of a Chancellor, is decided democratically. The Council is directly responsible for the Andorian Defence Force, which does not fall under the jurisdiction of Starfleet Command.
 
[[Image:AndorianBoots.jpg|thumb|150px|''An example of [[Andorian]] military-issue boots.'']]
==Commerce==
The most important overland trade route on the planet is through the Tharan Mountains. This trade route was the source of a great deal of dispute during the Time of Lament. Its importance has dwindled since the introduction of atmosphere-capable shuttlecraft and transporter technology.
 
The Federation underwent an [[Andorian]] fad in the early 23rd Century, as [[Andorian]] clothing and cuisine became fashionable on Earth. Many [[human|humans]] purchased Andorian Hrisal (ceremonial blades) as well as fake antennae. [[Andorian]] silk is prized for its softness, and [[Andorian]] jewellery is highly collectable. Andorian Ale remains a well-loved beverage throughout the Federation to this day.
 
[[Andorian]] tiles are exported to many different worlds as they are regarded as being extremely well crafted. Their high quality lends itself well to hand painting.
 
[[Image:AndorianAdmiral.jpg|thumb|150px|''An [[Andorian]] Admiral.'']]
 
==Federation Intelligence File==
It is rumoured that an extremely top secret group, known as the Am Tal, operate for the Andorian government as an intelligence agency. This organisation is not widely known of within the Federation.
 
The [[Andorian|Andorians]] are a passionate people who are well known for their military prowess. The Andorian Imperial Guard continues to act as a defense for Andoria, and operates outside of [[MA:Starfleet|Starfleet's]] command structure. Although relations with the [[Vulcan]] people were once strained, they have now settled onto more friendly terms.
