| |
| Andorians, with a higher [[MA:metabolism|metabolic rate]] than [[Human|Humans]], were especially vulnerable to [[MA:Phase pulse infection|phase pulse infection]]; even minor [[MA:phase weapon|phase]] 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 could still thrive, despite losing 10% of their body weight in two days.
