Andromeda-17
Andromeda-17 was a powerful Human Psyker and Genewitch during the Great Crusade.[2]
The personified scion of Luna's Selenar Cult, Andromeda was part of a civilization that had been conquered by the Emperor during the Great Crusade. Andromeda held a great amount of resentment against the Imperium for this, but nonetheless performed her duties.[1]
During the Horus Heresy, Andromeda-17 was recruited by Archamus of the Imperial Fists to help him in tracking a cell of Alpha Legion operatives actively sabotaging the Sol System. Though initially reluctant, Andromeda slowly bonded with her new Astartes overseers and helped them against a cell led by Kel Silonius, Phocron, and Myzmadra.[1]
Later during the Siege of Terra, Andromeda-17 was seen working alongside Rogal Dorn. She was recruited by Hellick Mauer in order to investigate waves of despair and madness sweeping across loyalist forces.[3a] However this was just a front in order to gain access to Basilio Fo.[3b]
Andromeda-17 was next recruited by Zaranchek Xanthus as part of a plan to obtain the anti-Astartes weapon of Basilio Fo. Together, the duo confronted Fo and his warden Amon Tauromachian as they argued over the prisoners custody rights with Custodian Wardens. Amon took possession of Fo and agreed to work with Xanthus and Andromeda until the authority of the prisoners custody can be confirmed.[4b] Fo, Amon, Xanthus, and Andromeda-17 next journeyed to the Sigillite's Retreat to use Malcador's lab to create a perfected version of his bio-weapon that had no chance of mutating to also infect non-Astartes.[5]
After Fo grievously wounded Xanthus and escaped into the Sigillite's Retreat, Andromeda pursued him and the two came to blows. While she badly wounded Fo by stabbing him in the eye, she was killed by a chemical spray that caused her to melt.[6]
