Andorian Guard

The Andorian Guard, or Andorian Imperial Guard, has been the military force of Andor for hundreds of years. Now, however, it is joining its counterparts in the Original Four (along with Betazed) in federalizing its fleet.

Andorian Survey Corps
The Andorian Survey Corps is another service under but historically largely independent from the Andorian Guard, primarily filling a scientific and exploratory rather than military role. The Andorian Survey Corps was once a relatively prestigious posting, though by the mid 23rd century it was increasingly perceived to be a bit vestigial given the capabilities and mission of Starfleet's Explorer Corps. The transfer of the two Vinakthen-A class vessels briefly improved the Survey Corps standing, but by 2300 the Survey Corps was left with little but a proud history and some unarmed auxiliary starships.

Interestingly, approximately 40% of Andorian Guard scientific crew are technically members of the Andorian Survey Corps seconded to Andorian Guard ships.
