Succession vs secession

[Kemaiku]

Looks like I got it the wrong way around.

Andor is the giant, not the moon.

Another question: What's the difference between Andoria and Andor?

Same as the difference between Italy and Italia or Austria and Osterreich, I guess -- different forms of the same name. In real-world terms, the difference is that everyone assumed Andorians came from Andor (and DS9 canonically used that name several times) until Enterprise changed it to Andoria for some reason. Maybe the idea was that the name was different in the past, or maybe the ENT writers just forgot what DS9 had used.

Worlds of DS9: Andor made this explicit. Shar mentioned at one point that "Andoria" is a name almost entirely used by outsiders that's occasionally used by Andorians to non-Andorians just to avoid confusion, but that the true native name is Andor. He compared it to himself thinking that "Terra" was the proper name for Earth before actually going there.

^A novelverse explaination for a canon inconsistency..

Claudia was talking about the Novelverse though

Though I just realized that she also already mentioned Worlds of DS9: Andor in her own post, and I just missed it somehow. I need to read better.

The same difference when humans call our planet Earth and aliens call it Terra or the Sol system

Or the differences or lack there of between Great Britain and the United Kingdom, they're the same thing, just different names.

Nope the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Great Britain is Scotland, Wales and England. They share the same land mass.

Nope the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Yes, I am fully aware of the UK's full title.

Do people in the Republic call Ireland 'Ireland' or 'Eire'?

Ireland, I have been told off by a few people for referring to it as Eire.

Really? Why?

 

[DimesDan]

Really? Why?

Simple, I'm not Irish.

Thanks @ all.

DS9 did call it "Andoria" twice (in "Prophet Motive" and "Prodigal Daughter"), actually. (Compare to four usages of "Andor.").
