Andorians have a 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 they have a normal skeleton like any other humanoid race they also have cartilage plates under their skin that act as a partial exoskeleton. This gives added protection to their vital organs, but it also provides addition strength to their muscles. The Andorian digestive system cannot tolerate chocolate. | Andorians have a very dense bone and muscle tissue that gives them incredible physical strength.

The blue skin associated with Andorians is due to a protein dye called HZB-41. This protein dye is produced by almost every form of animal life on Andoria - though the dye has a very short life span, and as such, Andorians continously replace this protein through their diet. When an Andorian becomes ill, their skin coloration tends to fade, as their immune system is fighting off illness and cannot produce enough dye to maintain their skin colour. | The blue skin associated with Andorians is due to a protein dye called HZB-41.

As members of the United Federation of Planets, the Andorians have access to many different types of Starfleet Vessel. However, Andorian Battle-Cruisers are used as the mainstay of the Andorian Imperial Guard. | Andorians are a militaristic race, exemplified in small part by weaponry without stun settings.
