Andoria (also known as Andor) is a frozen class M moon of a gas giant in the Andorian system, inhabited by the Andorians and seat of the Andorian Empire, a member of the United Federation of Planets.

The Star Fleet Technical Manual implied that the Andorian system was Epsilon Indi, which is 12 light-years from Earth, whereas the more recent Star Trek Star Charts has stated that Andor orbited Procyon, which is 11.46 light-years from Earth.

Jonathan Archer was the Federation ambassador to Andoria from 2169 to 2175. Andorian cities are underground, taking energy from geothermal activity. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II", "The Aenar")

The Andorian homeworld was visited by the USS Exeter in the 2260s, where it was found that Klingon agents had infiltrated the population. (EXT: "The Savage Empire")

Jean Sinclair was a junior officer at the Federation Embassy on Andoria in the early 2360s. (Star Trek: Pendragon)
