Andor was an important planet in the Federation. (DS9: "In the Cards") In the 24th century, Andor was the location of the Andorian Agricultural Ministry. There was also a Federation embassy on the planet. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")

The location of Andor was marked on a star chart. Andor was near Daran V and Marcos XII. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

In an alternate 2366, Andor was also marked on a tactical situation monitor showing the fleet deployments in the Federation-Klingon War. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise" display graphic) In 2367, the same chart was used in the prime timeline in Captain Benjamin Maxwell's ready room on the USS Phoenix. (TNG: "The Wounded")

In Star Trek: Enterprise's season 4 DVD, writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens have said they made the Andorian homeworld a satellite of a gas giant to help explain why both names Andor and Andoria have been used interchangeably. Andor is the gas giant and Andoria is the moon.

In Star Trek Maps, and Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual, Andor is referred to as the Andorian homeworld. According to Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Volume 1, the difference between Andor and Andoria is the same as the difference between Terra and Earth. Andoria and Earth being the names preferred by the natives.

History

Some time before 2363, as a junior officer, Lisa Cusak was assigned as an attaché to the Federation embassy on Andor. She met an Andorian civilian who worked at the Andorian Agricultural Ministry. The two ended up dating for 6 years. (DS9: "The Sound of Her Voice")

In 2373, Kai Winn rhetorically asked Captain Benjamin Sisko if the Federation would be willing to sacrifice Andor (among other worlds) to protect Bajor from the Dominion if necessary. (DS9: "In the Cards")

In 2374, one of the suggestions that Worf offered up for his honeymoon with Jadzia was a mountain climbing expedition on Andor. (DS9: "Change of Heart") After Betazed fell during the Dominion War, many believed Andor might next be threatened. (DS9: "In the Pale Moonlight")

In 2375, viewscreens on Deep Space 9's promenade and replimat advertised speedy trips to "scenic Andor" on the latest warp ships. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")

In the novel Lost Souls, much of Andor was devastated by the Borg in 2381. The following year, Andor seceded from the Federation in Paths of Disharmony.
