*'''Proper Name:''' [[MA:Andoria|Andoria/Andor]]  

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 have no system of leadership, implying an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egalitarian egalitarian] regime. Whenever it is necessary, the Aenar select one of their number as a speaker to represent their collective wishes. Using [[MA:Telepathy|telepathy]] to communicate with others of their species, the speaker is quickly able to canvas the opinion of many Aenar in order to arrive at an acceptable course of action when required. In 2154 an Aenar named [[MA:Lissan|Lissan]] acted as speaker for her people in response to a communiqué from the [[Andorian]] Chancellor.

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==

The Aenar are physiologically very similar to the [[Andorian|Andorians]], with two antennae sprouting from their heads, although the antennae of the Aenar have small indentations in the funnel shaped tips. The Aenar are completely blind and have no skin or hair pigment, resulting in a pale white appearance (similar to [[human]] albinos). On average they stand between 1.7 and 2.2 metres tall, and are roughly of the same build as the average [[human]]. Their metabolism is high, a trait that has been evolved to aid their survival in the sub-freezing temperatures of the planet’s polar ice-cap. Their blood is cobalt-based.

The Aenar themselves form a part of [[Andorian]] mythology, as they were believed not to exist until their discovery beneath the Northern Wastes of the Issa ice cap.

==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.

While the Aenar do not follow the [[Andorian]] clan system, many of them choose to devote their life to the study of science or medicine.

==Customs==

Aenar ''[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Zhen zhen]'' and ''[http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Andorian_genders shen]'' often wear a white translucent veil that covers the lower half of their faces. Their hair is often worn long, and tied in braids behind their heads. White is the favoured colour of Aenar garments, despite their inability to see the colours of the fabrics they produce.

The Aenar share the same level of technological capability as the [[Andorian|Andorians]], as they have access to advances made by the [[Andorian]] government. In the past, the Aenar developed technology independently from their blue-skinned cousins, and were able to use a large dampening field to shield their city from detection. They were also recorded as having developed dermal regeneration technology.

==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.
