Andorian Empire

The Andorian Empire, also known as the Andorian Star Clan and Epsilon Indii Star Empire, was the name of the Andorian state. Centered on the moon of Andoria, the Andorian Empire was one of the founding Member States of the Interstellar Coalition.

Empire
The Andorian Empire was a constitutional monarchy that was established in the 19th century with the unification of the planet from warring clans by Thalisar the Last, who deliberately died childless and created the parliamentary democracy that has governed Andor ever since her death. The position of head of state is thus deliberately left empty, and is represented by the Empty Throne of the Andorian Empire, found in the Parliament Andoria Complex. The head of government is the Presider, whose seat is determined by the political party that has a majority in the legislature, the Parliament Andoria. The majority party also determines Andor's Federation Councillor. In the 22nd century, the Andorian head of government was known as the Chancellor.

The Andorian Empire's traditional military is the Imperial Guard of the Andorian Empire and maintained both starships and infantry. It had ranks of general, captain, commander, and lieutenant, and was staffed with both male and female personnel. Members of the Imperial Guard were apparently recruited and trained for combat since childhood. When a Guardsman died far from home, it was his, or her, companions duty to take a piece of the fallen back with them to Andoria (e.g. a vial of their blood). This item was to be taken to the Wall of Heroes.

Territory
The Andorian Empire reached its height before the modern era, when they possessed 13 colonies including their home system with a population of around 11-billion.
