What are Andorian antennae for?
Andorians live underground and get their energy from geothermal activity. Perhaps their Antennae evolved to help them detect heat, to seek out geothermal activity. From there, sexual selection or other social pressures may have modified them to the point that they are now important in portraying non verbal social cues.
How did they get the andorians antenna to move?
The electronic antennae are attached to a plastic skullcap with soft foam on the underside, covered electronics on top and net loops to grip into hair. A cable runs down the back that needs to plug into an unknown device (not included) in order for the antennae to move. The electronics are untested.
Do Andorian antennae grow back?
If cut off, an antenna will grow back after nine months, though the time can be reduced by half with electrical stimulation and brisk cranial massage. The Aenar are a more reclusive, blue-white-skinned subspecies of Andorians.
