These humanoid Federation members are blue-skinned in appearance and have bilateral antennae and characteristically white hair.[1] Andorians have a higher metabolism than humans[15]. Because of Andorians’ unusual physiology, intravenous injections are not possible; instead, a doctor must use intra-muscular injections.[2]

Andorian antennae are used, at least in part, for balance. An Andorian is partially disabled and unable to function immediately following the loss of an antenna, but is typically able to compensate after a day or two. Antennae can take up to nine months to regrow, although that can be completed in half the time with electrical stimulation and cranial massage therapy. Loss of antennae is a humiliating experience for an Andorian.[15] An Andorian’s antennae can also detect subtle shifts in temperature, electrical fields, and emotion.[16] The movement of an Andorian’s antennae can also indicate emotional states. An Andorian will sometimes point their antennae at a potential mate to signify attraction, though it is unclear if this is a voluntary or involuntary response.[12]

Dilithium

Dilithium (TNG-147)
Dilithium (TNG-147)

Crystalline substance used in warp propulsion systems to regulate the matter/antimatter reactions that provide the energy necessary for faster-than-light speed. Naturally occurring dilithium was extremely rare and was mined on only a few planets, such as Coridan,[1] Troyius[2] and Rura Penthe.[4] In 2286, a method of recrystalizing dilithium was discovered, reducing the need for mining new deposits of the mineral.[3]

Computer Interface (TNG-178)

Method of interacting with a computer system. The computers aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 utilized tactile buttons and knobs, as well as motion-sensitive displays and consoles.[1] By the 24th century, touch-sensitive display panels had largely replaced the tactile interfaces,[2] though there were also some uses for holographic interfaces.[3]

Chronometer (TOS-06)

Clock (ENT-11)

Timekeeping device. In 2265, the chronometers on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 unexpectedly ran backwards while escaping the destruction of the planet Psi 2000, an initial indication that the ship was actually traveling backward through time.[1] In 2151, Jonathan Archer was presented with the gift of a clock by Prah Mantoos.[2]
