The first galaxy to be settled outside of the milkyway (yet the last to fully collapse after the fall) Andromeda is a mixture of early expansionist mentality and extreme isolation: Andromodeans were so far removed from the rest of humanity that they re-invented themselves in order to survive.

The monastery of Née-Tierén is on the mid eastern arm of Andromeda. They are a monastery of stealth and guile. There are very few examples of Tierénian agents being discovered.
