Andoria


 * Note: Andoria was intended as a Federation PvP zone, but the mechanics were never completed. Explanation within this article about the in-game backstory and set up of the player vs player duels/Ushaan should not be taken to imply that the system has ever worked.

Andoria is an icy moon in the Andoria System and homeworld of the Andorians and Aenar. In 2161, it became one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets and would remain one of its most important worlds over the following centuries.

Missions involved

Mountain Park
The Mountain Park area on Andoria serves primarily as a Federation vs. Federation ground combat zone, where the spirit — if not the actual weapons — of the Ushaan lives on. Once you leave the beam-down area and head towards the place where NPC Andorians are locked in combat, you may be challenged to a duel at any time.

Though it offers no direct missions, Andoria is a place that can help you finish tasks more cheaply. Its Park Rangers offer common food items (+64% HP) and Ground Devices such as hypos, shield charges, and power cells at reasonable prices. It is a particularly good place to pick up common Bajoran and Cardassian foodstuffs necessary for completing the "Culinary Credentials" assignment chain, and by far the cheapest Federation location for Provisions and Communication Arrays, which go for only and, respectively.

Information
The Park Rangers will tell you that you are in the High Mountain Park, which is an area of Andoria set aside for preservation of nature as well as the Ushaan ritual, a legalized dueling system where players, both from the Federation faction, may fight each other.

While the Ushaan has traditionally and historically been fought to the death, Federation law forbids such extreme violence, causing the ritual to be performed in a non-lethal fashion.
