Ship's Avatars are typically female as it has been shown that female avatars usually get better acceptance by crew members.
 During a freak accident aboard the [[Andromeda Ascendant|Andromeda]] an Avatar was created modelled on a dead crewman named [[Eddie Aldrich]] who was from the original pre-long night crew. The Eddie Avatar was partially unstable, as it had been created from the scan of a dead human brain. It was highly disorientated and irrational, believing it was still 300 years before the Long Night.

 Rommie is an [[android]] and unique personality created by Seamus Harper from the [[Andromeda Ascendant Artificial Intelligence]] as a ship's avatar. Early on in the series, it is stated that avatars were created to allow the crew to relate to their ship on a more human level, and vice versa. Her personality, though, is largely defined by her function: "I am a warship, and I don't like walking away from a fight." is a commonly recurring line for her. She is very loyal to her crew, especially to her Captain, [[Dylan Hunt]], and incredibly protective of those in her charge. She is confident, direct, and often displays a sense of pride in her status as a warship capable of destroying entire populations.
-Since her creation, Rommie is shown to have evolved differently from the ship's AI.
+Since her creation, Rommie is shown to have evolved differently from the ship's [[Artificial Intelligence]]. Rommie maintains a certain amount of individuality, and is distinct from the core Artificial Intelligence to a large but unspecified degree; they are often seen chatting, disagreeing, and even arguing. Disagreements are often due to the fact that Rommie exhibits human emotions much more deeply and strongly that the logic-oriented core Artificial Intelligence. This can be seen to great effect in the Season One episode "[[Star-Crossed]]", in which Rommie falls in love with another ship avatar, [[Gabriel]], Artificial Intelligence to the [[Balance of Judgment]]. Rommie's individuality also protects her from some of the 'ailments' that afflict Andromeda's Artificial Intelligence, as prominently shown in the episode "[[It’s Hour Come 'Round at Last]]", in which Harper accidentally activated a version of the ship Artificial Intelligence that had been deleted (apparently) after a failed mission; the ship's Artificial Intelligence was reprogrammed, but the android was unaffected. At other times, as the ship itself is damaged or infected, Rommie is shut down.

 Rommie's nature as an artificial construct provides her abilities that would be considered superpowers by humans, such as super strength and speed, resistance to injury, and heightened senses. Using the sensors in her hands and eyes, she can detect the physiological signs associated with lying, as well as diagnose internal injury. Rommie also exhibits nearly complete awareness of, and control over, the workings of the ship itself. For example, she is able to change the level of artificial gravity in a given locale, or turn lights on or off merely by thinking it. She is also capable of instantaneously changing the length, cut, and color of her hair.
-There are some inconsistencies with Rommie's capabilities throughout the series, like the aforementioned independence from/susceptibility to technological attacks to her AI. Inexplicably, she often stays behind on the ship; though her core AI is entirely capable of running the ship without her and her physical abilities would make her the best choice to accompany Dylan on most of his dangerous adventures. Her power levels also seem to fluctuate; in one episode she displays the ability to transfer power from her body's system to power a small craft like the [[Eureka Maru]], while in another she is in danger of powering down after being separated from the Andromeda Ascendant for only a few days (however it may be possible that Rommie requires more energy to function than the Maru, or that she almost entirely depleted her energy supply knowing that she'd be able to recharge in short order). Also, since the episode in which her power was quickly depleted was very early in the series, it is possible that at some later point (possibly because of the incident) she was upgraded in that regard.

-In the Season Four finale, Rommie's body is destroyed while protecting Harper from [[Magog]] in a scene that loosely mirrors a scene from the Season One finale. All that was left was her partially-damaged head and her core AI. Harper was unable to rebuild her due to the lack of sophisticated technology in the [[Seefra System|Seefra]] system. His attempts to virtually connect with her AI failed, as she became hostile. Dylan was later able to convince her to shut herself down. Harper used Rommie's remains to construct a new gynoid with its own personality, which he named [[Doyle]]. Eventually Doyle herself built a new body for Rommie, though the new Rommie almost killed the entire crew, due to Doyle's use of [[Vedran]] technology in building her new body. However, she was able to be repaired, and after working out some competitive issues between herself and Doyle, returned to her usual place in the crew. Alas, she appeared much colder and robot-acting after her reconstruction. But in the Season 5 finale, the last you see of her is her leaving Dylan alone on the bridge, then turning around in the doorway, watching Dylan for a few seconds. This might imply that she is still the good old caring Rommie.

+*Due to Lexa Doig's pregnancy during the filming of the fifth season of ''Andromeda'', writers re-wrote part of the season finale so her character could be excluded from the first two thirds of Season 5. The character [[Doyle]] was written to replace her during this time. Rommie's 'new' body is thicker and bustier than her old body, due to the physiological changes that occur in a woman during pregnancy and child birth, and upon being asked by Dylan how she felt, Rommie answered "Sturdy."

-As their years of imprisonment went by Achilles emerged as the leader of the P.O.W's and kept them together and made sure that they didn't lose hope. He also made sure they remained soldiers and not slaves by organizing resistance movements in the camp when the Nietzscheans tried to erase them from time to time. Half way in to their imprisonment the ships were able to cobble together a single Slipstream drive that they placed in the troop transport [[Clarion's Call]] as he would be the least likely to draw attention on the outside. The plan was for the Clarion to contact the "moderate prides" and then have the Nietzscheans destroy each other, with the ships AI's offering themselves as mercenaries. The Clarion was successful in escaping but when the Nietzscheans discovered the escape, 2 ships were destroyed as punishment. Their deaths appeared in vain as Clarion never returned and was branded a traitor by the remaining prisoners.

 years later the ship P.O.W camp was visited by Captain Dylan hunt and some of his crew who learned of the camp and were determined to rescue the ships and bring them in to the New Commonwealth.
-Dylan was directed to the Achilles by [[Ryan]], the AI of [[Clarion's Call]], that Hunt and the others "acquired" for the mission who explained that he was the camp leader and also one of the most powerful ships the High Guard built before they fell. Going on this Dylan decided they should land on Achilles so they could direct the fleet by appealing to their leader first.

-Achilles however did not greet the rescuers with open arms and was prepared to vent the two strangers and the "Traitor" out in to open space unless they explain themselves in 60 seconds. Dylan's quick thinking fortunately allowed [[Rommie]] to up link with Achilles core to speak directly with the AI. Rommie was able to make contact and the Achilles recognized her as the AI of the lost Andromeda who explained the circumstances of her escape. She also said she could sympathize with the ships imprisonment despite the different circumstances that Achilles pointed out, and then Rommie explained the reason they were here. While the old Commonwealth had fallen Dylan was building a new one and wanted the ships to be a part of this. Achilles was notably intrigued and happy with the idea but warned that Dylan might be assuming and expecting too much from the prisoners.

-Speaking with the Achilles Avatar Dylan learned a lot had happened in the camp in 300 years, especially a large philosophical and social debate among the AI's. Many of the ships had begun to wonder if they had ever been equal with their High Guard comrades and not just beasts of burden. While Dylan's offer is better than their current predicament many of the ships thought of the offer as just another form of imprisonment. Later Nietzscheans from the Drago-Kazov boarded the ship to erase the Achillies AI. One was successful in getting the AI eraser to command and attaching it to the Achillies main system console. [[Ryan]] finally killed the Nietzschean crew member and pulled off the eraser but it was already to late and the Wrath of Achillies was dying. After the Achillies AI was gone Ryan volunteered to be the new AI to the ship. But Mila, AI to the [[Million Voices]], wasn't sympathetic to Ryan taking control of the Achillies but finally went along with the idea. Just then a whole Nietzschean task force emerged from [[Slipstream]] to destroy the ships. Mila and other ships drew the cruisers away from the rest of the fleet.

Achillies and the remainder of the fleet emerged from Slipstream right in front of the Andromeda. Ryan was promoted to captain of the Wrath of Achillies and served the [[Systems Commonwealth]] fleet.

 Her weapons have variable yield that can be adjusted by either adjusting the size of the kinetic warhead, as more mass in a warhead is proportional to the amount of energy released when it hits a target, or by using missiles that have reduced payloads. She uses slipfighters, OM-5 kinetic missiles, Star Arrow missiles, PM-6L Strategic Star Arrow smart anti-ship missiles, and PM-6LII Strategic Star Arrow MIKV variants (multiple independent kill vehicle) to reach targets within her furthest targeting distance, as the kinetic missiles have an extremely long range due to the speeds at which they travel (~90 PSL), and the actual missile that is fired is just another part of the delivery system; the missile actually breaks up into several dozen smaller missiles, each with a smart independent program that targets any enemy ship around them. MIKV's also have an extended range, with the weapons themselves being able to coast after they reach their maximum speed. Those missiles are used to try and cause damage to ships approaching the Andromeda so that by the time the ship or ships get into range of her more powerful weapons they are sufficiently weakened. As the Andromeda moves into a closer weapons range, or as ships move into range, she has a much broader array of weapons that she uses. She uses, drones, slipfighters, SAPM-6III Strike Arrows, [[Offensive kinetic kill missile|OM-5 standard missiles]], and 12 [[Point Defense Laser]] 50Mw turrets to destroy anything that gets into a closer range, with the particle weapons like [[Point Defense Laser]]'s and [[Antiproton Cannon]]s as point defense weapons.

 ==Overview==
-The '''Siege Perilous class''' [[Deep Stand-off Attack Ship]] II was designed as a next generation successor to the versatile and venerable [[Righteous Fist of Heaven Class]], and at the time of the fall of the [[Systems Commonwealth]], this was the newest and most advanced ship class in the [[High Guard]] fleet. The design of the ship incorporated new structural features due to many hard-learned lessons from the recently concluded [[Magog]] hostilities at the time, and included latest in Commonwealth technology. The Siege Perilous class was the most lethal starship-killer ever built by the Commonwealth. It was designed to operate with a minimum of crew and without any fleet support from behind enemy lines for extended periods of time. It also forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft, a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor of one of the most massive missile loadouts ever seen. The Siege Perilous was one of the the most heavily armed starships launched by the Commonwealth, and her arsenal includes the latest in extreme-range kill vehicles as well as the usual suite of offensive and defensive missiles, AP guns, and [[Point Defense Laser]]'s. Additionally, the new Deep Stand-off Attack Ship's distinctive knife-like profile gives it a tiny sensor cross-section, making the vessels nearly impossible for hostile forces to detect. Any enemy who does manage to engage the Deep Stand-off Attack Ship is confronted with reactive shielding and cold plasma armor that makes the Siege Perilous class exceptionally resilient and damage-resistant. This class is also notable for the lack of entry points, as access to the ship is through a single, heavily fortified airlock which leaves the ship nearly invulnerable to boarding party raids.<ref>[http://www.saveandromeda.com/allsystems/ships/dsa2.htm]</ref>

+The Maru is about 42 metres in length, judged by the scale of people against it as seen in episode 8 of series 5. It weighs approximately 12,000 tonnes. She is slipstream-capable cargo ship and is armed with lasers, missiles, and occasionally mines that Andromeda installed, and has a three engine thrust system. The ship runs on [[hydrogen]] and [[Antiproton]]s. The hydrogen combines with the [[Antiproton]] in controlled reactions to create antimatter/matter reactions, and then makes several hundred megawatts. Most of the power is used to power the GFG (gravity field generator), which reduces the effective mass of the Maru to a kilogram. The remaining power is used to accelerate more hydrogen in a dozen magnetoplasmadynamic drives which creates the thrust of a half million newtons.
 As of "[[Waking The Tyrant's Device]]" Seamus Harper retrofits the Maru so it is capable of detaching its forward cockpit section into a small craft.
 ==Internal Layout and Design==
 The internal layout of the Eureka Maru is spartan and is often dotted with open access panels and exposed wires, because the Maru is often damaged and repairs cannot be initiated fast enough to repair them all. There is a network or corridors running along the length of the Maru, and there are 3 levels of corridors in the ship, with the topmost and bottommost corridors being small and narrow and primarily used to repair and access the outer parts of the ship, and they also allow for some airlocks, cargo bays, and essential parts of the ship to be reached.

A solenoid valve works by running an electrical current through a coil of wire in order to restrict or allow a substance to flow by relaxing or tensing a coil that serves as a valve. They are mentioned several times throughout the entire series, and are a critical point on any ship that uses AP's. Large, extremely well protected vessels such as the [[Andromeda Ascendant\|Andromeda]] can be destroyed if a solenoid valve is damaged or disabled, because an unregulated, uncontrolled flow of [[Antiproton]]s would immediately start to interact with regular matter. This would cause the engines to overload or explode. When a ship is destroyed by a hit to the solenoid valve, the debris pattern is very unique and easily identified, as the [[Crimson Sunrise]] was destroyed by a lucky hit from a meteor.
