Andoria is an icy moon orbiting a ringed gas giant. Many of its cities are built underground to take advantage of geothermal warmth. Temperatures have been known to reach -28°C in the summer. The Andorians share their homeworld with an obscure telepathic species, the Aenar, which have either light blue or white skin.

Andorians first appeared in the 1968 Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Journey to Babel", and have been seen or mentioned in episodes of subsequent series in the Star Trek franchise. They were indicated to be a vital, important member of the United Federation of Planets in the 1997 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "In the Cards", but did not gain considerable exposure until the 2001–2005 series Star Trek: Enterprise, on which they were used as recurring characters, most notably in the person of Thy'lek Shran, a starship commander who maintained a sometimes adversarial and begrudging friendship with Enterprise Captain Jonathan Archer. The series revealed more about Andorian ships, the home world Andoria, and the culture and history of Andorians and their subspecies, the Aenar. The 2004 episode "Zero Hour" established that Andorians were one of the four founding members of the United Federation of Planets.

This is one of the first worlds originally built in AltspaceVR, in 2020, before being brought into VRchat upon Microsoft’s decision to shut down the platform. Andorians have played an important role in Star Trek, from the very beginning, so it was important to showcase this world. It is also one of the few Star Trek planets that has a permanently cold climate. Aesthetically, it was a nice addition to our collection of worlds, partly because it looks so different. It is particularly enjoyable to visit in the summer when it’s hot under your headset. The underground world of the Aenar, on the same moon, is also featured in our collection.
