It first saw combat at the Battle of the Eighth Continent, assisting Terron and Gamilas forces in eliminating the vast majority of a Gatlantis fleet, though it was unable to prevent a survivor from escaping. Some time later it took part in a fleet exercise near Jupiter, where it came into contact with the fleeing Yamato. After an initial confrontation Andromeda allowed it to go on it's way, with the mission being retroactively authorized. At the same time interned pilots were also turned over to the Yamato, in order to aid its efforts. Her next fleet action was the Battle of Saturn, where a massive Gatlantis force had begun moving on Earth. Successful in fending off most of the conventional fleet, the Terron forces found themselves outmatched as the Gatlantis Ark of Destruction arrived, handily defeating everything that the combined forces could throw at it. Andromeda was barely able to escape due to the noble sacrifice of one of her sister ships, leaving her to be hauled back to the Time Faulton Earth for repairs. Only, something happened before it could reach, leaving it swept away on the winds of fate [b]Notable Crew:[/b] Captain Osamu Yamanami - Student of Admiral Okita. [b]Unique Technology:[/b] Wave motion energy -Wave Motion Shield: Projects a barrier around the ship which can deflect object impacts for a limited time, however the wave motion gun is not usable while active. -Wave Motion Engine: Primary power source, it allows for effective operation beyond the bounds of the Milky Way [b]Crew Size: [/b] [b]Faction/Operator/Owner:[/b] United Nations Cosmos Navy [/hider]
