===Code of Honour===
In order to limit disputes to small numbers of individuals rather than entire clans, Andorians follow a strict code of honour that governs duelling as a means of resolving differences.
A crucial part of Andorian tradition is ''[[MA:Ushaan|Ushaan]]'', a code of honor demanding a duel to the death, with combatants pitted against one another using an ''[[MA:Ushaan-tor|ushaan-tor]]'' (iceminer's tool). A vast body of regulations with around 12,000 amendments binds this code. Such a fight can be called off if one combatant disabled the other enough to prevent its continuance. Though ''[[MA:Ushaan|Ushaan]]'' can be called by someone to avenge a personal loss, there exists a right of substitution wherein each combatant can offer up a replacement, and married combatants could postpone duels indefinitely if they had no children to continue their clans.
Invoked for personal grievances, the ''[[ma:Ushaan|Ushaan]]'' can be settled by first strike, first blood, or in the cases of extreme actions such as murder, to the death. Most Andorians reserve these customs for other Andorians only, but traditionalists may hold other species to the same values.
[[MA:Andorian Imperial Guard|Imperial Guard]] members who died far from home could count on their companions to transport a body part back to the Andorian ices.
