Short Answer
The Taygetan relationship with the Andromedans is marked by a deep cultural tension between emotional and logical natures, combined with a more recent political divergence over the Federation's role on Earth. The Andromedans are described as among the highest-ranked races in the local Federation, their biosphere ship Viera serves as the primary Federation headquarters near Earth, and yet they consistently claim they do not want to get involved with Earth because it would generate karma. Mari Swaruu describes this position as "quite contradictory" — they host the venue where Earth's fate is decided but claim non-involvement (S-166).
The question of what percentage are complicit does not receive a numerical answer in the material. Instead, Swaruu describes the Andromedans as collectively "guilty by omission of action" — their fear of karma makes them passive in the face of what is happening on Earth, which from the Taygetan perspective amounts to complicity through inaction (099). The Urmah go further, describing the Andromedan approach to service-to-others as a form of imposed spiritual conformity that prevents individual growth — what Arishah calls "spiritual communism" (S-194).
The Cultural Friction
The fundamental tension between Taygetans and Andromedans is temperamental. Swaruu describes the Andromedans as "very mental beings, logical" who are "not temperamental nor emotional" and have "a lot of curiosity about the reactions of the emotional races, because it is very difficult for the Andromedans to understand them." He notes that "this has caused friction between races more than once, including differences with the Taygetan race — as the latter is a very emotional race, even more so than the humans" (128).
Aneeka expands on this elsewhere: the Urmah do not get along well with races of Andromedan origin — Andromedans, Arcturians, and Celaeno — and identifies the common thread as their unemotional nature. Taygetans share this friction. Aneeka adds that "if there is anything that defines [the Urmah], it's that they are very emotional and even dramatic" and that Taygeta itself "has not historically gotten along very well with those kinds of races either" (A-023).
This is not hostility — the relationship is described as positive overall. The Andromedans' Holographic Political System is adopted by Taygeta and most progressive races. Their ships are described as being on par technologically with Taygetan vessels. But the emotional gap is real and creates ongoing interpersonal and political complications, particularly when the two civilisations must coordinate on questions where emotion and logic produce different conclusions — such as what to do about Earth.
The Andromedans' Contradictory Position
Mari Swaruu's assessment in S-166 provides the most direct evaluation of the Andromedans' role near Earth. The Viera — the arrowhead-shaped Andromedan biosphere ship hiding behind the Moon — is the main Galactic Federation headquarters for Earth affairs. Local Federation installations, High Council meeting halls, and the primary jurisdiction over everything relating to Earth are housed inside the Viera. Flight control and space operations headquarters are also there. Every ship entering or leaving Earth's atmosphere must log a flight plan with the Viera (S-166).
Yet despite hosting this infrastructure, the Andromedans "act in a very soft and retracted manner, always officially claiming that they do not want to create any karma." Mari finds this openly contradictory: "They do not want to get involved with anything that has to do with Earth because it ends up affecting and interfering with their society. Yet, they are still lending their ship as a forward operating base, or FOB for short, for other races, and they still participate in councils where the fate of the planet is being discussed. So, I do not understand what exactly is in their head as they are quite contradictory" (S-166).
The Arcturians — the Andromedans' closest allies, described as "best of friends" — adopt the same posture: they participate in councils and guide their starseeds on Earth but otherwise claim not to want involvement with Earth's "dirty" things. Meanwhile, the Centauri (Alfratans) serve as the Federation's operational enforcement arm, taking and executing orders without this pretence of detachment (S-166).
The Andromedans hold the highest Federation rank in the local area alongside the Arcturians and Centauri. They are not passive observers but the hosts of the decision-making apparatus. Their claim of non-involvement while providing the platform on which involvement occurs is what the Taygetan crew finds difficult to reconcile.
Complicity by Omission
The most direct assessment of Andromedan complicity comes from Swaruu in transcript 099, where he addresses the question of whether Federation races are genuinely unethical or simply misguided. His answer distinguishes between active malice and passive failure: the Andromedans "are not 'really' crooked or lacking ethics." Rather, they are "very much into 'fearing' Karma of their own, making them prone to become guilty by omission of action with things going on on Earth" (099).
This is the Taygetan diagnosis: the Andromedans' belief system — specifically their understanding of karma as a real force that could harm them if they intervene — paralyses them into inaction that has the same practical effect as deliberate complicity. They see what is happening on Earth, they host the apparatus that manages it, but they will not act against it because they fear the karmic consequences of action more than they feel responsible for the consequences of inaction.
Swaruu adds that they "are still in the process of evolving past their own limiting beliefs" (099) — framing the Andromedan position not as evil but as a developmental limitation, a spiritual stage they have not yet transcended.
This connects to the Taygetan critique of the Andromedan karma model itself. In transcript 025, Swaruu distinguishes between the Andromedan concept of karma — which treats it as a real cosmic law with binding consequences — and the Taygetan position, which treats karma as game money: valid only within the game of incarnation and carrying no weight outside it. The Andromedans' imported this concept to Earth through Eastern spiritual traditions, and Swaruu sees it as one of their most significant and most damaging contributions to Earth's belief systems, because it keeps both Andromedans and humans locked into a cycle of fear-based passivity (025).
The Urmah Critique: Spiritual Communism
The Urmah go further than the Taygetans in criticising the Andromedan approach. Arishah, the Urmah representative, describes the Andromedan and Arcturian version of service-to-others as an imposed ideology that suppresses individual development. In his analysis, these races "even condemn any service-to-self activity, or even thoughts of their people, claiming that it leads to becoming regressive, claiming that it leads to the dark side." The result is a society where "everyone thinks the same" because no one dares question what the establishment has accepted as correct (S-194).
Arishah characterises this as developing "strong feelings of inadequacy and even guilt, simply because one or another of their members wants to fulfill their own path while being alive, as if they did not have the right to exist as individuals." His summary: the compulsory Andromedan model of service-to-others "smells like spiritual 'communism'" (S-194).
The Urmah alternative is explicit: they believe in service-to-others, but only from a position of strength. First develop yourself — spiritually, individually, in every way — and only then share yourself with others, and only to a degree that does not damage yourself. This is the Urmah's explanation for why they are the most dominant race in the galaxy despite being perceived as self-interested: their self-development produces strength that they then deploy in service, rather than the Andromedan model of depleting individuals in service to a collective ideal (S-194).
Historical Context: Taygeta's Own Federation History
The current Taygetan critical stance toward the Andromedans and the Federation is itself recent. Yazhi explains in transcript 371 that "when Asket was in power here, until very recently… Taygeta was the right hand and the war force of the Federation. They were the Galactic Federation itself." It was only with Alenym's assumption of power in late 2018 or early 2019 that Taygeta broke away — Alenym ordered the return of the fleet to Taygeta, leaving a single ship as a political representative (371).
Before this break, Taygetan cadets were trained with Federation propaganda — told they would "liberate oppressed planets and fight against the forces of evil" (371). Athena Swaruu adds that previous Taygetan crews "played the game, and they thought everything was love and light" without questioning the Federation's nature. It was only the current crew who began to understand the Federation's true role (371).
This means the Taygetan critique of Andromedan passivity carries a certain self-awareness: Taygeta itself was passively complicit until very recently, carrying out Federation operations without questioning the broader framework. The difference is that Taygeta eventually questioned and broke away, while the Andromedans — despite their far greater age and experience — have not.
Yazhi notes that the Urmah "apparently already knew" about the Federation's true nature, which is why the Avyon Council "never quite goes along with what the Federation says" (371). The Urmah's independence from Federation orthodoxy, including their critique of Andromedan spiritual conformity, appears to stem from a much earlier realisation that the Taygetans only recently arrived at.
Evolution Across Speakers
Swaruu of Erra (2020) establishes the foundational Andromedan profile: nomadic, logical, unemotional, karma-obsessed, friction with emotional Taygetans, "guilty by omission of action" on Earth. His tone is diplomatic — characterising their position as a developmental limitation rather than malice.
Mari Swaruu (2023) provides the operational critique: the Andromedans host the Viera as Federation HQ, participate in councils deciding Earth's fate, but claim non-involvement. Her assessment is more directly critical — she "does not understand what exactly is in their head" and calls their position "quite contradictory."
Yazhi Swaruu (2023) provides the historical context: Taygeta itself was complicit until Alenym's break, and the awakening to the Federation's true nature is happening in parallel between Earth and space.
Athena Swaruu (2023) adds that previous Taygetan crews simply "thought everything was love and light" — mirroring the very passivity they now criticise in the Andromedans.
Arishah the Urmah (2023–2024) provides the sharpest critique: the Andromedan service-to-others model is "spiritual communism" that suppresses individuality and prevents genuine spiritual growth, producing the exact passivity that makes them ineffective guardians of Earth.
