Description

The Andorians, Federation members since the foundation of the alliance, are a humanoid species with a tall, wiry, almost scrawny stature, which have a blue skin color like the Bolians. Particularly, they are remarkable for their conspicuous, feeler-like pair of antennae on the top of their head. The Andorian social structure is characterized by extended families, which consist of at least four individuals in a matrimonial relationship, and tribes, which roughly correspond to the Klingon houses. The Andorians regard themselves as a passionate, agressive, even violent species, however, their character is much more complex. At first glance, the intelligent, apparently intellectual humanoids give the impression of being deadpan and emotionless, very calm, rational and logical like the Vulcans, but different from them, their indeed existing emotions can emerge with intense psychological and physical reactions. Even though the Andorians also stand out due to their great strength and agility, they are not regarded as an exclusive race of warriors, since they usually exert violence only if there aren't any other possibilities, and even then they act controlled and rationally. The purpose, the pursued profit is important, not the act of violence itself, even if the motif is greed or jealousy. In this respect, the Andorians are more similiar to the Romulans than to the Klingons.
