Andorian system

TheAndorian system (Andorii:Kuy'va system) is an inhabitedstar system in theAndor Sector, containing themoonAndoria, homeworld of theAndorians. (ENTepisodes: "The Andorian Incident", "Kir'Shara";DS9episode: "Tears of the Prophets")

History[]

The system was attacked in2154 by theVulcan High Command. (ENTepisode: "Kir'Shara")

The system was again attacked during theEarth-Romulan War in2159, this time byRomulan forces. (ENT -The Romulan Warnovel:Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

By the24th century an array ofsubspace relay stations connected the system toRigel. (TNGepisode: "Conspiracy")

During theDominion War the Andorian system was considered byStarfleet to be of comparable strategic importance toBerengaria,Vulcan, andEarth. (DS9episode: "Tears of the Prophets")

All inhabited planets were heavily damaged in theBorg Invasion of 2381. (STnovels:Lost Souls,A Singular Destiny)

Location[]

The Andorian system was located in theBeta Quadrant, close to theVulcan system. (ENTepisode: "Kir'Shara";STreference:Star Charts)

System makeup[]

The Andorian system's primarystar was referred to asKuy'va inAndorii. (Last Unicorn RPGmodule:The Andorians: Among the Clans)

The moon Andoria, homeworld of the Andorians, orbited agas giant,Andor, located in this system. It was the only body in the system to have native life. (ENTepisode: "Kir'Shara";Last Unicorn RPGmodule:The Andorians: Among the Clans)

Another planet,Alrond, had an Andoriancolony. The settlement on Alrond was destroyed in the2381Borg invasion. (ENT -Rise of the Federationnovel:Live by the Code;STnovels:Lost Souls,A Singular Destiny)

The system had anasteroid belt. In2273,Anton Zauber andJoann Zauber traveled through it aboard thefreighterSkorpius. (TOScomic: "The Real McCoy")

Planets[]

This section is written from theReal World point of view.

Non-canon sources give multiple descriptions of the Andorian system, some of which conflict with the canon appearances inENTepisodes: "Kir'Shara", "The Aenar".

Last Unicorn RPGmodule:The Andorians: Among the Clans gives the system's makeup as follows:

• Kuy'va (Primary)
  • Kastra (Andoria I)
  • Kuy'Thela (Andoria II)
  • Andron (Andoria III)
  • Brok'va (Andoria IV)
  • Andoria (Andoria V)
    • Onlith (Andoria Va)
  • Kul'va (Andoria VI)
  • Kazaan (Andoria VII)

STreference:The Worlds of the Federation lists the system as the "Andor system". There, Andoria is listed as being the eighth planet in a nine-planet system.

STreference:Star Charts, which usesENT as source material, erroneously designates Andoria as Procyon VIII, ignoring its being a moon (it would more correctly be designated Procyon VIIIa, or possibly by other letters ifAndor has additional moons).

InSTvideo game:Fleet Command, system is set up like this:

• central star
  • Phandrax
  • Starbase 7
  • Andor
    • Andoria Prime

While Andor is depicted as a ringless earth-like planet and not a gas giant. There are no ringed planets in the game. The systems are usually incomplete and do not follow correct ordering.

Background[]

InTNGvideo game:Birth of the Federation, the orbital configuration of the game map star systems was randomly generated each time a new game started.

Real-life location[]

This section is written from theReal World point of view.

Different sources have placed the Andorian system in multiple locations:

• Last Unicorn RPGmodule:The Andorians: Among the Clans states that the Andorian system is about 274.4light-years away fromEarth. Given the events of "Kir'Shara", this location does not appear to correspond to the stated capabilities of Enterprise NX-01 or toVulcan's semi-canonical location at40 Eridani.
• TOSreferences:Star Fleet Technical Manual,Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual state that the Andorian system's primary is the real-lifetrinary starEpsilon Indi, located 11.8 light-years from Sol.
• STreferences:Star Charts,Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library place the Andorian system at the real-lifebinary starProcyon, located 11.5 light-years from Sol.
