Star Trek: The Next Generation era

Former The Next Generation staffer Tracy Tormé once revealed at a convention that his original proposal for the episode Conspiracy included an Andorian Starfleet officer as the host of the alien parasites. The lines of dialogue were eventually given to Dexter Remmick, and the blue skin given to Captain Rixx the Bolian, when the producers (ie. Rick Berman) told Tormé: "We don't do antennae on this show."



Andor is shown on the large star chart graphic seen behind the chair in the room where Dexter Remmick is killed. [Conspiracy.]



Andorian Starfleet Admiral Thivov directs the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) on a secret mission during its first year. ["Here Today", #6, DC Comics mini-series, 1988; reprinted in the comic collection, Beginnings, 1995.]

Wesley Crusher recognises Epsilon Indi from a Ten-Forward window. [The Child.]



Andorian riding equines called zabathu can be a recreation program selection on the Enterprise's holodecks. [Pen Pals.] Signage outside the holodeck identifies this program as Equestrian Adventure. [Star Trek: First Contact.] The beast resembles a Terran camel, without the hump. It typically has short, white fur, a silky, golden mane, blue eyes and a thin tail with a furry tip. [Voyager: Starfleet Academy: The Chance Factor (Pocket, 1997) by Diana G Gallagher and Martin R Burke.]

The current Andorian ambassador to the UFP is Shrall K'Tik. [The Worlds of the Federation (Pocket, 1989) by Shane Johnson.]

Lieutenant Thralen, a Theskian with blue skin, antennae and yellow fur-like hair is an Enterprise crewman. His race is "related" to Andorians, but is "more gregarious". [Metamorphosis (Pocket, 1990) by Jean Lorrah.] Lorrah had intended that Thralen actually be an Andorian, but was requested by the then-Star Trek Office at Paramount to make the change, since there were "no Andorians among the Enterprise-D crew". Jean Lorrah was seemingly paying homage to some Andorian speculations from the old zine article, A Summary of the Physiological Roots of Andorian Culture (1976) by Leslie Fish, a friend from her fanfic days (eg. references to Thralen's "the Great Mother" deity).

During her year as Head of Starfleet Medical, Doctor Beverly Crusher and her colleague, Doctor Carter Greyhorse, created a vaccine for Andorians against Kevratan Plague. [The Next Generation: Death in Winter (Pocket, 2005) by Michael Jan Friedman.]

While serving as a crewmember of the USS Enterprise, Lieutenant Commander Data created an android child, Lal, which he encouraged to select its own appearance and gender. Lal almost chose the guise of an Andorian female (Kristina Kochoff). Here it was confirmed that no Andorians served on this USS Enterprise. [The Offspring.]



Thala was a blind, orphaned, Andorian girl, eventually adopted by Doctor Selar. [The Eyes of the Beholders (Pocket, 1990) by AC Crispin.] It is likely that Thala is of Aenar descent. [Enterprise: The Aenar.]

Administrator Thuvat, of the Andorian colony world Thonolan IV, was not eager to find placement with a foster family for Thala, since Andorians abhor disabilities amongst their populace; there are continued rumours as to the practice of exposure of imperfect infants to the elements. Note: When the book's author attempted to create a religion for the Andorians, the response from the Star Trek Office was "Paramount has developed no such culture or religion for the Andorians. Please delete all references to the Andorian culture or religion."



Thala's diplomat father, Thev, was identified as one of the passengers on the USS Enterprise killed when the ship was under Borg attack. [The Eyes of the Beholders (Pocket, 1990) by AC Crispin; Q Who.]



An Andorian tourist (played by Kristina Kochoff) was on Risa at the same time as Captain Picard and Vash. [Captain's Holiday.]



In the holodeck adventure, Dixon Hill and the Case of the Golden Serpent by Rob Vaux, a male Andorian player demonstrated the game's parameters in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Role Play Game supplement, Holodeck Adventures (1999) by Last Unicorn Games.

An Andorian group bid was made for Tellurian spices offered up by Kivas Fajo. [The Most Toys.]

Four partners are usually required for an Andorian marriage. [Data's Day.] As the unique Andorian biology necessitates certain "expectations", it is considered unusual that an Andorian has not married by the age of twenty-three. The four Andorian genders can be signified by prefixes used with the surname, such as ch' and zh' (birth mother). [Deep Space Nine: Avatar duology (Pocket, 2001) by SD Perry.]

An inept Andorian waiter apparently gave Geordi LaForge a moving Klingon meal. [The Mind's Eye.]

A four-armed alien musician, Amarie, offers to play some "Andorian blues" for Commander Riker. [Unification.]

The female Andorian Lieutenant Tor serves at the conn of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D). She had recently transferred from the Nisqually. [Dragon's Honor (Pocket, 1996) by Kij Johnson & Greg Cox.] Character named for Tor Publishing, where editor, John Ordover, and the two writers have all been employed at some point in their careers.



Hargon (above left) and Sartur (above right) are Andorian henchmen who assist a dangerous Trill to escape from Tantulus VII. ["The Barrier" and "Homecoming", #23-24, The Next Generation, DC Comics, 1991; reprinted in The Starlost (1993).]

As a boy, Spock once experimented with the music of Kreleth of Andor, according to the rambling memories of his father, Sarek. Sarek speculates that Spock may now be teaching the Romulans about music, including Andorian music. Sarek also recalls that Spock's mother, Amanda, wanted to try growing Andorian eth'la vines in her garden on Vulcan. [The short story, "Dementia in D Minor" by Mary Sweeney, in Strange New Worlds V (Pocket, 2002).]



Lieutenant Korudos holds the position of Security Chief on the starship USS Discovery in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Role Playing Game manual (1998) by Last Unicorn Games. This book also informs that Morsha of Andor serves as Starfleet Command's Secretary of Defense. Ancient legend tells of female clan leader and scholar-warrior Lor'Vela who created the famous Andorian dueling rituals. Doctor Sharas Vetra was responsible for finding a cure for Orion Plague.




Andorian warriors (with greenish blood!) feature in Klingon Honor Guard, the MicroProse multimedia CD-ROM game (1998). The Andorian captains use a traditional weapon called a sith har.

An Andorian pirate freighter is beautifully fitted out, with reflective floors, transporter rooms and Federation-style touch pads. [Klingon Honor Guard (MicroProse multimedia CD-ROM game, 1998).]

Andorian miners aggressively defend precious, explosive, blue crystals in Klingon Honor Guard, the MicroProse multimedia CD-ROM game (1998).

A lone Andorian can be found in a room in the main mining complex of the Klingon moon, Praxis. [Klingon Honor Guard (MicroProse multimedia CD-ROM game, 1998).]



Female Andorian prostitutes and lap dancersattempt to provide distractions to Klingon soldiers. [Klingon Honor Guard (MicroProse multimedia CD-ROM game, 1998).]



Schwin is an Andorian cook supporting an archeology team, of which Captain Picard is a part, on Rajatha Prime. [Captain's Pleasure, #2, The Next Generation comic mini-series, The Space Between (IDW, 2006), by David Tischman.]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard develops a craving for srjula, an Andorian tea, after an encounter with the Devil's Heart talisman. He also reads chapters of Oral Histories From The Andorian Middle Kingdom and has a vivid flashback to his Academy days, in which Telegar, a female cadet when Picard was a freshman, competes against him in the Academy Marathon. [The Next Generation: The Devil's Heart (Pocket, 1993) by Carmen Carter.]

Andorian diseases, such as diostrophic fever, tend to be specific to Andorians. An Andorian trading ship was blamed for spreading a plague. [The Death of Princes (Pocket, 1997) by John Peel.]

Captain Tharev is the Andorian commander of space station Deep Space 7. [Infiltrator (Pocket, 1996) by WR Thompson.]

The Old Ways

Alternate covers of "Alien Spotlight: Andorians: The Old Ways".



During Earth's 24th century, Commander Ortees Sharad is an Andorian analyst in Starfleet Intelligence. Owed some extended leave, he travels with the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) to Andor, where Captain Picard has an appointment to meet with the Andorian Chancellor, aiming to urge him and his people to become more involved in Federation activities. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Arriving on Andor, Sharad first runs into a group of angry young students. They insult his uniform and call him "Fade", a recently-popular, local slang term inferring that the subject either has Aenar blood in his veins, or that he's been "tamed" by Federation "pink skins" and has "sold out" to humans. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Sharad is rescued by Shaa, his younger brother. An Andorian Guardsman, Shaa mentions that there have been Guardsmen in the family for five generations, on all four sides. The brothers greet each other by rubbing antennae together. They pass an Andorian couple with a baby. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Mother Thra (presumably the zhen matriarch of the clan) has prepared a feast of Andorian redbat and tubers to welcome Sharad home. Two more of his parents, Starfleet Lieutenant Shralla (presumably the clan's shen), and her partner, Trajun (presumably the thaan), are also present. Shralla compares the students who had menaced Sharad to Andorian ice snakes. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Four younger siblings include Tora. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Sharad's longtime romantic interest, whom the family hope will become one of his bondmates one day, is the warrior, Thrynn. She also wears the uniform of the Guardsmen. They meet in a bar and discuss mutual friends, Tahryn and K'Stran, whom Sharad once met up with at Quark's on Deep Space 9. Thyrnn claims that the current Andorian Chancellor was elected by the "Old Wayers". Sharad compares the rise of the political faction known as the "True Heirs of Andor" (T.H.A.), to the infamous Andorian renegades, or even to ice bores. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Sharad is ambushed and placed into a holding cell by members of the True Heirs of Andor, and Thyrnn reveals that she is also a member. Now wearing the traditional metal-studded suede tabard and chainmail of the T.H.A., Thyrnn claims to be the commander of the unit who has captured him. Sharad quickly realises that General Kovan himself oversees the operation. The General was behind the subterfuge in the Triangulum system, which had involved a dismantled Andorian vessel. Kovan tells Sharad that Thyrnn had held to a hope that Sharad would join the cause of the T.H.A. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]



Thrynn is commanded to send for four guards so that Sharad can be interrogated. Sharad cleverly goads the General by challenging him to a duel, under the code of Ushaan. Thrynn tries unsuccessfully to offer herself to fight Sharad, under the substitution ruling, but Koval is determined to fight his own battle. Proving he is no "pinkskin's pet", Ortees Sharad defeats Koval with a borrowed ushaan-tor, proving Sharad's worth as a "true Andorian" through a demonstration of his superior cunning, skill, passion and honour. [Alien Spotlight: The Andorians: The Old Ways by Paul D Storrie (IDW Publishing, 2007).]

Much information about Andorian government is revealed by Picard in that visit. He was instrumental in the substitution of Andorian democracy for the old hereditary monarchy. After the suspicious sudden deaths of King Collev and Prince Bregev, Andorian society split into the ex-military Red Sash and old-guard Absolutist factions. Both factions had a totalitarian bent. A deposed monarch returns from exile on Pacifica, following Picard's suggestion to the Andorian factions, but when this King Thurl of Greater Andoria is assassinated (and his corpse fed to native boars called kritkraws in the remote Valley of Sorrows, in accordance with royal tradition), his place is taken temporarily by his son, Prince Yevan. The female Red Sash leader, Jandara, plots to overthrow the young prince before the Absolutists can coronate Grand Counsel Levak, but finally General Hargrev is offered leadership of the new democracy when the Prince abdicates in his favour for the sum of a million bars of latinum.

[After the Fall (Pocket, 2004) and Missing in Action (Pocket, 2006) by Peter David; also Turnaround comic mini-series and reprint omnibus (IDW, 2008) and Treason (Pocket, 2009) by Peter David.]

Some people believe that the requisite psychological profiles for entrance to Starfleet are biased against Andorians, resulting in their under-representation. Andorian embassies were savagely attacked during the Selelvian War. Despite their membership in the UFP always being "shaky at best", the Andorians were said to have fought valiantly and were a great help to the Federation. [After the Fall (Pocket, 2004) by Peter David.]

Four Andorians, Jhen, Okud, Mako and the female Tolin, use an Iconian gateway to invade Tellar and retrieve the five colAndor Scrolls, which were supposed to have been part of an early cultural exhibition and intended to show the Tellarites of a different way to organise their government.

Although a promising quote from John Logan, screenwriter of Star Trek Nemesis, went: "We are going to see some of the original series aliens that we haven't seen for a while. I can't go into detail, but I love the Andorians..." [Star Trek Communicator #132], none survived the final draft or cut. According to Picard in an early draft, Riker's bachelor party was attended by "three Andorians, two Tellarites and a Gorn". The Orion, a Federation delegate ship, was to have been captained by an elderly Andorian named Meelok, who taught Picard at the Academy. The final scene of the shooting script appeared to include a new female Andorian Ops officer [but not in Star Trek Nemesis, sigh].
