*'''Other Information:''' [[MA:Andoria|Andor]] is a moon that orbits the fifth planet in the [[MA:Andorian System|Andorian System.]]  

==Home World==

*'''Population:''' Less than 5,000 Aenar, although the [[Andorian|Andorians]] share this homeworld.

==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.

==Government==

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.

==Physiology==

==Society==

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.

==Culture & Customs==

[[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.

==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.

==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.

While hostilities arise in the first instance, Captain [[MA:Jonathan Archer|Jonathan Archer's]] involvement in exposing a secret [[Vulcan]] listening post ingratiates him with [[Andorian]] Commander [[MA:Shran|Shran]].

==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.

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.

*[[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.

*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.

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.
