Andorians

Andorians are a militaristic race....and military rank greatly influenced social reputation. Deploring dishonesty -- and never fighting without reason -- Andorians are nonetheless capable of duplicity. They considered themselves deeply emotional, passionate, even violent; not known for their charity or sympathy, they placed a high value on family. -- Andorian - Memory Alpha

andorians

Most Andorians are blue-skinned, with white or silver hair, and bit taller and slimmer than humans. They tend to have soft deliberate voices. Their two antennae augment perception. Redundant circulatory systems and a high metabolisms allow Andorians to function in a wide range of environmental conditions, but it also makes them more susceptible to metabolic hazards and fatigue from physical exertion.
