The Aenar inhabit the small moon of Andoria, and share this space with the [[Andorian]]s.

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

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.

==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. 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. To this end, they deplore violence, and are more receptive to emotions and sentiments that may be considered "weak" by outsiders.

===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.

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.

==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.

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.
