The '''Andorians''' are a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] species from the moon [[Andoria]], homeworld of the Andorian Empire, and one of the founding members of the [[MA:United Fedderation of Planets|United Federation of Planets]]. The Andorian people have white hair, blue skin and 3 to 4 inch antenna sticking up out of their heads. On the average they tend to be a very tall, slim race. They tend to be 1.7 to 2.1 meters tall. While obesity is not unknown among them, it is culturally condemed by the majority of them. | The '''Andorians''' are a [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] species from the moon [[Andoria]], homeworld of the Andorian Empire, and one of the founding members of the [[MA:United Fedderation of Planets|United Federation of Planets]].

Andorians have heightened senses. Their visual ability is astounding and well above that of what is considered as generally accepted levels for normal [[human|humans]]. They also have increased senses of smell and hearing thanks to their ability to recieve addition information with the use of their antennae. This information is usually superior to that which they can recieve from their nose or ears. Antennae are linked to the sinus cavity, and can detect (among other things) temperature change, change in air pressure, subtle variations in air flow and sub-sonic sounds. | Andorians have heightened senses.

Andorians have two supercranial antennae that aid in balance as well as the sensory enhancements mentioned above. If one is lost an Andorian's balance is temporarily disrupted, rendering them unable to fight, but they could adapt to its loss within a day. Antennae take up to nine months to regrow, though electrical stimulation and cranial massage therapy can cut regeneration time in half. While it is true that if they lose their antenna they will grow back in about 9 months, most Andorians prefer not to survive the loss. The loss of an antenna is very similar to being mute, deaf, castrated and mutilated all at the same time in [[human]] terms. It is because of this that most Andorians suffer from a deep and wide spread fear of antenna loss. There is also the fact that while waiting for their antenna to regenerate that they are at a severe disadvantage in situations that require their balance to be unimpaired such as physical combat. | Andorians have two supercranial antennae that aid in balance as well as the sensory enhancements mentioned above.

====Thallassan==== | ====Thallassan==== | ||
The Thallassan race are the most common and numerous of the Andorian races. They can be identified by their bumpy antenna that stick up from the top of their heads, but then curve forward so that the tips face forward. These tips tend to look like a flower because they flare out right at the tip around the opening. | The ''Thallassan'' race are the most common and numerous of the Andorian races.

The Talish race can be identified by their thin, smooth antenna that stick out from the tops of their foreheads and extend out forward with a slight bend in the antenna. The tip is smooth, does not flare out and ends with a small tiny opening that they use to hear and smell with. | The ''Talish'' race can be identified by their thin, smooth antenna that stick out from the tops of their foreheads and extend out forward with a slight bend in the antenna.

The antenna of the Bish'ee are straight, standing up from their heads about halfway between where they would be on a Talish or a Thallassan. They are smooth and end in an almost unnoticable flare right at the tip around the opening to the internal sensory organs. | The antenna of the ''Bish'ee'' are straight, standing up from their heads about halfway between where they would be on a ''Talish'' or a ''Thallassan''.

The [[Aenar]] are a sub-race as they are closely related to the Bish'ee but they are also radically different from any of the other Andorian races. They are blind, albino cave dwellers that live in the far north in underground cities that exist under the polar cap. They were considered to be a myth for many years but since have been proven to exist. Still very few people have ever seen one as they are isolationists who value their carefully guarded privacy. | The [[Aenar]] are a sub-race as they are closely related to the Bish'ee but they are also radically different from any of the other Andorian races.
