U.C.S.S. Andromeda

The U.S.S. Andromeda was a former military grade spaceship that was transformed into a mining vessel. The Andromeda would later be known as a nightmare after an Alien Xenomorph was born through the crew member Collin. To get rid of the creature that was killing the entire crew, the Andromeda was self destructed with only a few remnants and chunks of the ship being left over.

History
The Andromeda was constructed in 2245 to serve the purpose as a military transport that carried weapons and small ships. After a disaster somewhere in deep space, the personnel on board the ship were wiped out along with most the ship's weapons and shuttles jettisoned from the hangar bay. When the Andromeda's last remaining soldiers returned to Earth, the ship was refitted as a mining vessel that kept the last remaining shuttle, smaller vehicles, and a few weapons that were left over. The Andromeda was given to a mining crew that consisted of Bruce, Rose, Bryce, Timothy, Mason, Collin, Baffour, Josh, Michael, and the android Nathan Co.

Final Voyage
During a return trip to Earth, the crew of the Andromeda was woken to supply the planet Dysomos's colony with supplies. When the crew arrived, Collin Hunter was infested with a Xenomorph when being asked to explore an alien ship by Evan Harris. The Andromeda left the planet to go back to Earth as soon as possible. In the medical bay, Collin was killed when giving birth the Xenomorph. The alien would grow full size and kill off most of the crew. In a last ditch effort, Bruce, Rose, Bryce, Nathan, Michael, and Mason decided to self destruct the ship to kill it for good. Before the entire could escape the ship, Michael and Mason were killed within seconds of eachtother by the alien. The last four survivors managed to make it to the Andromeda's last shuttle and fly off just in time before the Andromeda blew and collapsed into chunks.

Legacy
The Andromeda's destruction was a magnet for controversy, spawning several research teams to investigate the ship's remnants and recover audio logs that were left over in the Andromeda's remains. Salvage teams were able to retrieve an intact flight recorder from the ship and return it to Meridian Station near Scion 33I.
