Aldorians are a race of humanoids that evolved on the same planet as the Andorians, and though they share certain similarities the two races are distinct. Aldorians follow the same basic symetry of a human. They grow dark silver gray hair that is thickest on the top and back of their heads, and they have dark bronze skin. The Aldorians have almond shaped eyes that range in color throughout the lighter spectrum of colors found among humankind. They have pointed ears with ridges that allow them a broader hearing range. Aldorians have strong angular features. They are generally muscular, athletic beings who walk with a fluid grace.

Internally Aldorians have a skeleton that is stronger than a human’s and they have a flexable membrane that cushions their ribcage and offers additional protection to their vital organs. Aldorian muscle tissue is denser than human muscle. They possess a 5 chambered heart, and they have an organ located where the human apendix can be found that produces a pain supressive enzyme triggered when the Adorian is injured that deadens the effect of pain, allowing the Aldorian to endure great amounts of damage without succumbing to trauma. Aldorians can interbreed with humans and Andorians but the fetus has to be genetically manipulated to insure its survival.

Aldorians sense of vision is more sensitive to the ultraviolet spectrum granting them night vision as good as their normal vision at night. Their other senses are comparable to a humans senses.

Aldorians speak a harsh sounding language that is as complex as any language spoken in the Frontier. Aldorians can learn many languages that require strong vocal capabilities. Their language can be learned by most Frontier races but it is rare for anyone not involved in Star Law or the Spacefleet to do so.

Aldorians are one of the most feared races in the Frontier, because they are relentless warriors, who believe that no quarter is to be given to those who chose to attack them. The Aldorians are born and breed to be warriors and skill at arms is as important to them as breathing is to any other race. On the outside they may seem like blood thirsty warriors, but the Aldorians believe in a religion that is centered around the darwinistic idea that only the strong shall survive. They view their existance along these lines perfecting themselves in mind and body and striving to become skilled at arms to insure their survival. Aldorians come off as cold, and dispassionate, but that is because they feel that emotion tends to cloud judgement, and its place is in the privacy of the home, and not in situations where it might impede judgement.

The Aldorians have carved out an empire in a series of harsh, nearly inhospitable worlds the chief of which was where they were exiled, when the Andorians cast them out of their homeworld. This defeat burns in the hearts of each Aldorian and some day they have vowed to reclaim their homeworld. The Aldorian Empire is not affiliated with any faction in the Frontier. They have had great wars against the Adranians, the Ordanians and Humankind in the past, and only the Human/Aldorian war was fought to a draw which resulted in the creation of a buffer zone between the Aldorian Empire and the Frontier.

Recently Aldorians suffered greatly from attacks by the Slithaar, and the Ordanians believing that the Aldorians have been weakened have begun to probe the Aldorian sphere, with little success. The Aldorians however have hundreds of thousands of people that have been displaced by the devastation wrought on their worlds and have begun to probe worlds outside the neutral buffer coming into conflict with the Vrusk, and Frontier yet open war has not been declared, and Frontier ambassadors have been scrambling to the region in an effort to calm the situation, before a Frontier war erupts against the Aldorians.
