Text near ship\u2019s bow:<\/span> AAA Andromeda<\/em> is the cutting-edge weapon at the core of the Wave-Motion Gun fleet concept, planned as the lynchpin of Earth\u2019s defense. This is the latest illustration by Junichiro Tamamori, daringly pursuing a different shape and texture from before. This document does not analyze the world of the story, it is a presentation to bring an original flavor to the model kit while showing a lifestyle that allows the ship\u2019s heroism within that world to overflow on your desktop.<\/p>\n

Detail of the destroyed bow structure of Andromeda<\/em>. The structure of the hull can be seen after the anti-matter generator that causes a time\/space cavitation has been pulled out by the roots. After directing the Yamato rescue strategy in this state, the ship is without primary power, and has to be warped back to Earth by two battleships in TAG (Tug Around galaxy) configuration. A strategy is developed and carried out by the ZZZ YF2203 using this TAG towing system.<\/p>\n

CCC-01 Neu Balgray<\/em><\/h3>\n

Neu Balgray<\/em> is one of four Andromeda<\/em>-class carriers operated by the Garmillas space forces. In addition, there are Neu Schderg, Neu Lambea<\/em>, and Neu Darold<\/em>. Their hull colors are the same.<\/p>\n

ZZZ-0001<\/h3>\n

ZZZ-0001 [Andromeda-Kai<\/em>] was the first Andromeda<\/em>-class prototype ship to be made. It is equipped with four Wave-Motion Guns and each thruster has such high power output that the crew is unable to endure its maneuvering acceleration without special reinforcement armor. After its trial manufacture it became a testbed for autonomous operation, and could be operated by only a single person.<\/p>\n

YF-2203 is the designation for the Dreadnought-class ships that support ZZZ-0001 by increasing its thrust capability (seen in Chapter 6).<\/p>\n

Paragraph at upper left:<\/span><\/p>\n

Five AAA ships were built at first, then six Advanced Stage versions were built before the subsequent autonomous BBB Andromeda<\/em> series: 006 Amaterasu<\/em>, 007 Laboratory Aquarius<\/em>, 008 Aquarius<\/em>, and Garmillas ships numbered 009-011. Afterward, experimental elements were developed for the transition to BBB.<\/p>\n

Paragraph at lower left:<\/span><\/p>\n

AAA-009 through 011 are combat ships of the Andromeda<\/em> standard designed by Garmillas. Initially, the bow breeches were equipped with Satellite Reflection Guns rather than Wave-Motion Guns, which enabled a primary battlefield method of omni-direction attacks using small reflection satellites. When Yamato<\/em> encountered a replica of the Reflection Satellite Gun used by the White Comet army at Telezart, the probability increased that this strategy would be invalidated, so it was replaced by Wave-Motion Guns. Gunboat Amaterasu<\/em> and its attendants served as part of the Earth defense war.<\/p>\n

Amaterasu<\/h3>\n

10-cannon heavy striker, AAA-06 \u2022\u00a0Illustration by Takahiro Yamada<\/p>\n

AAA-06 gunship Amaterasu<\/em> is an independent assault battleship equipped with 10 main guns to carry out hit-and-run attacks on enemy groups. The bow is equipped with a thrust point to reinforce its Wave-Motion Barrier for a final stage of ramming attacks. Therefore, the bridge has a lower design, and a condenser accumulates energy from the Wave Core to supply large amounts to the main batteries and barrier. It was completed for a last defensive war on Mars, but remains on standby in lunar orbit for defense of Earth, prepared for the approach of the White Comet army.<\/p>\n[Translator\u2019s note: this text was published between Chapters 6 and 7.]
