Background
According to writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, in a special features segment in ENT Season 4 DVD, the establishment of the Andorian homeworld as a moon orbiting a gas giant was devised to help explain the contradiction of why it was sometimes called Andor and sometimes it was called Andoria. They explained that is could be both and that they had hoped to establish the gas giant as Andor and the moon as Andoria. However, the references an embassy and mountain climbing make its being a gas giant unlikely.
