Andlorian

Andlorian is a name designated to people exhibiting naturally enhanced physical and mental capabilities. Andlorian is also the name of the people who created the ALPHA Battlesuit.

Background It has been theorized for some time that the Andlorians were actually an evolved race of humans. The near-english of the ALPHA’s core, coupled with Andlorian ruins being perfectly fitted for the same height and shape of a human, have had experts speculating for the past centuries. Even if they were human, such cultural similarities such as language are hard to believe, given how long ago they were believed to have disappeared. People exhibiting enhanced physical and mental capabilities are used to explain the missing link between Humans and the Andlorians. It is unknown where the 'Andlorian' gene starts. It is possible that the gene's progress has been so low that it has been unnoticeable for centuries, or hidden by the artificial genetic enhancement that most humans go through at some point in their lives.

Abilities

The most common traits associated with Andlorians are their large amounts of strength, agility, and spatial awareness. Abilities seem to vary depending on the individual Thomas Leorn, one of the better-known Andlorians, is believed to be able to sense other phases of reality, and occasional exhibits psychic and telekinetic capabilities. Alexis Bennet, who was captured by Tsukasa Yamato during the Dismantlement War, appears to exhibit a ‘berserker’ like ability where her body’s abilities are greatly increased, though it takes a negative tole on herself. Thomas Leorn has noticed sensing a painful disturbance when such ability was used.

Artificial Andlorians

During the Dismantlement War, Tsukasa Yamato captured Alexis Bennet, in order to use her to create a new army of super soldiers. These people could be viewed as the next generation of Yamato. Luckily, very few of these individuals saw action during the war. They were eventually killed aboard the Ark when Thomas Leorn convinced them to lend him their mental abilities in order to save Alexis, and prevent the Cycle from occurring again.
