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. | |||

While their tall slim forms can seem to be frail and slight this is completely incorrect. They have very dense bone and muscle tissue that gives them incredible physical strength. In fact the average Andorian can easily lift twice their body weight with little effort. | While their tall slim forms can seem to be frail and slight this is completely incorrect.

Due to the frigid, ozone-rich environment in which they live in which they live, Andorians have evolved a twin-layered [[MA:Circulatory system|circulatory system]]. This system makes [[MA:Intravenous|intravenous]] injection impossible, and therefore physicians must administer medication through intermuscular injection instead. Andorians are true bluebloods, their blood being based on [[MA:cobalt|cobalt]] as opposed to the [[MA:iron|iron]]-based red blood of [[human|humans]] or the [[MA:copper|copper]]-based green blood of [[Vulcan|Vulcans]]. Andorian tongues and gums alternated from dark blue to pink. | Due to the frigid, ozone-rich environment in which they live in which they live, Andorians have evolved a twin-layered [[MA:Circulatory system|circulatory system]].
