With the advent of space travel, [[Andorian|Andorians]] began to think seriously of themselves as a species rather than a collection of clans. The discovery of semi-intelligent life on the fifth planet of their Epsilon Indi system compelled [[Andorian|Andorians]] to consider the existence of other intelligent species and the possibility of interplanetary warfare. This led, by analogy, to the concept of all [[Andoria|Andorians]] as members of one super-clan, faced off against other such super-clans. The immediate result of such thinking was that a planetary government consisting of a council of elders, one from each major clan, became feasible. Thus did [[Andoria]] jump from a fragmented, clan-based society to a fairly unified, planetary society - without going through the stage of nationalism. This unique case of rapid social evolution proved remarkably successful for the [[Andorian|Andorians]], although it did cause some problems with early contacts between the Andorian Empire and the other Federation co-founders ([[Earth]], [[Alpha Centauri]], [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]], [[Tellar]]).

This may have proven to be the greatest scientific advance in Andorian history. This fact alone would explain the presence of so many [[Andorian|Andorians]] flooding [[Star Fleet Academy]] and, indeed, all Federation space lines, with applications in a desperate attempt to get out into deep space.

Insignia of the Andorian Empire

The Andorian Empire is the government of the Andorians, and was a founding member of the United Federation of Planets in 2161.

The capital world of the Andorian Empire is Andoria.


The Empire is a parliamentary democracy, lead by a chancellor.

Following their contact in the early-22nd century, the Andorian chancellor also maintains diplomatic relations with the Aenar race.


The Andorian government was a constitutional monarchy, first established in the 19th century with the unification of the planet from warring clans by Thalisar the Last. Thalisar deliberately died childless, and created the parliamentary democracy that has governed Andoria ever since her death. The position of Head of State is ceremonially left empty, and is represented by the Empty Throne of the Andorian Empire, which can be found in the Parliament Andoria Complex. The head of government is the Chancellor, whose seat is determined by the political party that has a majority in the legislature, the Parliament Andoria. The majority party also determines Andoria's Federation Councilor.

Military

See main page: Andorian Imperial Guard


The Andorian Imperial Guard is the primary military force of the Andorian Empire. It maintains both starships and Imperial Infantry Units.

Members of the Imperial Guard could be recruited at a very young age, and some were said to be trained in combat since childhood.

When a Guardsman died far from home, it was their companions' duty to take a piece of them back with them to Andoria, to be taken to the Wall of Heroes.


Interspecies Relations

Andorians first encountered the Orions and Rigellians, then Vulcans and Tellarites, then Humanity. Relations with the Orions have always been love-hate btween the two, while relations with the Tellarites are usually a hot-tempered loving rivalry. Vulcans and Andorians have never really understood each other.


With the invention of space travel, Andorians began to think seriously of themselves as a species rather than a collection of clans. The discovery of semi-intelligent life on the fifth planet of their solar system compelled Andorians to consider the existence of other intelligent species, and then the possibility of interplanetary warfare. The immediate result of such thinking was that a planetary government consisting of a Council of Elders, one from each major clan, became feasible. Andorians jump from a being fragmented, clan-based society to a fairly unified, planetary society. This case of rapid social evolution proved remarkably successful for the Andorians, although it did cause some problems with early contacts between the Andorian Empire and the other Federation co-founders.


Successful relations between Andoria and Earth were the result of Andorian practicality. Despite early misunderstandings, the Andorians soon realized that membership in a multi-stellar community held great advantages for them, particularly in technological gains. Founding/Joining the Federation may have proven to be the greatest scientific advance in Andorian history.


Relations with Vulcan

Contact with the Vulcan people happened during the early 20th century. According to the Vulcans, their first contact with Andorians "seemed promising", "despite their heightened emotions." However, it was soon discovered that "they were duplicitous," wishing to only honor "agreements that didn't conflict with their interests."


A border dispute, dating back to the 1950s and lasting 200 years, began between the two powers. This was mainly due to their neighboring home systems, and Vulcan suspiciousness towards the territorial and militaristic nature of the Andorians. The Andorians felt that the only thing that kept Vulcan from invading Andoria was "the threat of massive retaliation."


After further years of mutual rapprochement, the Vulcan-Andorian conflict eventually came to an end with the founding of the United Federation of Planets in 2161.
