History and specifics[]
Enterprise NX-01 arrives at Andoria in 2154.
In the 22nd century, the Andorian system was governed by the Andorian Empire. The Imperial Guard protected the worlds of the Andorian Empire. The Aenar had only been discovered in the 2100s decade. Andoria, their shared homeworld, was an ice moon. The Andorians and Aenar built their cities underground, where they could access geothermal energy.
Andor was a ringed planet and its atmosphere was blue, with blue-white clouds streaking across. (ENT episode: "The Aenar")
The Andorians also referred to their moon Andoria as "Andor". The interchangeability of the terms confused aliens. (DS9 - Worlds of Deep Space Nine novel: Andor: Paradigm)
In one version of events, the Voldranaii, Borg species designation Species 1881, attacked the Andorian system in 2380. Their ships defeated the USS Intrepid and the USS Nikita defending the system before three Voldranaii ships destroyed Andor, leaving its pair of moons behind. (TNG comic: "Hive")
In 2410, Matriarch J'Ula and the House of Mo'Kai launched an attack against Andor and Andoria. J'Ula activated her ship's mycelial weapon, causing the IKS Lukara to open a mycelial rift in the orbit of Andor and destroying several Andorian warships. LEd by Captain sh'Marois of the USS Hoffman and assisted by Khitomer Alliance forces, the Mo'Kai-Klingons were driven off and the rift closed from the inside after striking a partnership with the jahSepp and awakened Elachi.
