| ==Races==
| |
| There are 3 races and 1 sub-race among the Andorians. These are the ''Thallassan'', ''Talish'', ''Bish'ee'' and the Aenar (a sub-race of the ''Bish'ee'').

| |[[Image:Thalassan2.jpg|center|150px|Thalassan]] || Thalassan || 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.
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[Image:Talish2.jpg|center|150px|Talish]] || Talish || 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.
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[Image:Bish'ee2.jpg|center|150px|Bish'ee]] || Bish'ee || 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.
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[Image:Aenar2.jpg|center|150px|Aenar]] || Aenar || 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.
| |
| <br>
| |
| While they are considered to be a very secretive people it is considered fact that they are quiet, intelligent, peaceful and carry themselves with a kind of reserved dignity. They are also [[MA:telepathy|telepathic]] but are polite enough to ask for permission before they read someones mind. How they are able to get around with out being able to see is unknown. This is just another one of the many mysteries that they either can't or won't explain about themselves.

| |
| ==Sexes==
| |
| Andorian ''zhen'' and ''shen'' may be taller than ''thaan'' and ''chan'', if [[MA:Tarah|Tarah]] and [[MA:Talas|Talas]], seen next to their "male" companions, are any indication.
| |
|
| |
| Andorians have 4 [[MA:gender|genders]], 2 of which resemble males and 2 of which resemble females. These are called ''Thaan'', ''Chan'', ''Shen'' and ''Zhen''. This can result in some confusion among outsiders. Sometimes it is difficult to tell what gender an Andorian is on sight. This is especially true as a ''chan'' can appear to be feminine and a ''shen'' can appear to be masculine.
| |
|
| |
| ===Thaan===
| |
| A ''Thaan'' has internal testes, retractable penis and produces sperm to fertilize the egg of a ''Shen''.
| |
|
| |
| ===Chan===
| |
| A ''Chan'' has internal testes, retractable penis and produces sperm to fertilize the egg of a ''Shen''.
| |
|
| |
| ===Shen===
| |
| A ''Shen'' has a retractable [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovipositor ovipositor] which they use to transfer the fetus from their uterus to the pouch of a ''Zhen''. They also have a vagina, ovaries and uterus. They receive the sperm, produce the egg which then develops into a embryo and then transfer it to the ''Zhen'''s pouch once it has developed enough to make the transfer safely.
| |
|
| |
| ===Zhen===
| |
| A ''Zhen'' has a vagina which is only useable for pleasure, not reproduction. They also have 4 teats on their lower abdomen and the ability to produce a pouch that is used to house the transferred embryo while it grows.
| |
|
| |
| ===Reproduction===
| |
|
| |
| In order for Andorians to produce a child it takes 1 of each [[MA:gender|gender]]. They each have a specific role to play. This starts with the ''Thaan'' fertilizing the ''Shen'''s egg. Then the ''Chan'' has to fertilize it next. The reason for this is that the 2 males, the ''Thaan'' and the ''Chan'' each have 1/4 of the necessary genetic material needed to create a child. The ''Shen'' has the other half with in her egg.
| |
|
| |
| Due to the fact that Andorian fertility periods have been slowly getting shorter they will try to conceive as many children as possible during this period and since fewer viable children have been born the Andorians have been forced to arrange bondings among genetically compatible members of their society. This has replaced allowing the young people to pick their bondmates.
| |
|
| |
| As with most [[MA:humanoid|humanoid]] races most Andorians will experiment with sex at [[MA:pubety|puberty]].

| ==Digestive System==
| |
|
| |
| The Andorian digestive system cannot tolerate chocolate.
