Position on title lists:

Andie Graham is a character added with Episode IV. (S)he and Icon Derek Hogan may occasionally replace Icon Finola Keegan and Icon Wang Chao, respectively, turning the ship into an alternate timeline version where Finola was not captured and Chao didn't make it through the mission.

How to play

Due to Andie's multi-faceted skill set, you should pay close attention to your crew line-up and the players' activity levels before deciding on your skills.

Icon Bronze Tips

Icon Polyvalent: Allows you to fill in for the missing Icon Finola and become head of Research staff, as well as dramatically increasing your ship's chance of reaching Eden if combined with an Icon Babel Module.
Icon Confident: Useful if Icon Janice is in some way incapacitated (inactive or dead), as it will allow crew members to restore 2 Morale daily, all while helping you with Icon Mush-hunting!
Icon Pilot: Useful if Icon Ian and Icon Chun are very productive in research and your ship is missing characters to deal with the Hunter threat.
Icon Devotion: Useful if Icon Paola is inactive and you'll likely end up as the Icon Communications Officer (due to your position in the hierarchy list).

Icon Silver Tips

Icon Polyvalent / Icon Confident: A very useful combo of Research progress and Morale restoration.
Icon Polyvalent / Icon Devotion: Boosts your research productivity by 6 Action Point per day, as Devotion means that the Icon Commander will hand out missions exclusively to you.
Icon Pilot / Icon Devotion: The same as above, but for blowing up Hunters.
Icon Pilot / Icon Expert: Increases your hit chance with Patrollers, making you that much more effective as a Pilot.

Icon Gold Tips

Icon Polyvalent / Icon Confident / Icon Devotion / Icon Pilot: Icon TODO: Missing information.
Icon Polyvalent / Icon Confident / Icon Devotion / Icon Expert: Icon TODO: Missing information.
Icon Polyvalent / Icon Pilot / Icon Devotion / Icon Expert: Icon TODO: Missing information.

Icon TODO: Split the following text between the above Game Mode tips and the Useful Tips section.

Andie seems to be a person of many skills, but also torn between several responsibilities:

While Icon Devotion is only mediocre in terms of Action Point / day, and resticting the Icon Commander in his mission choices, the ability to gain 6 Action Point on the fly (pun intended) can be excellent for a Icon Pilot fighting hunters or collecting scrap (especially combined with food and Teslatron Reservoir). Also adding better hit chances from Icon Expert, this combination would arguably make him/her the most capable pilot on board.

Replacing Icon Finola, however, (s)he will likely be expected to pick Icon Polyvalent and spearhead the Research as she would, especially if Icon Ian is not a Icon Biologist. This, in turn, will not leave much time for other demanding jobs. So much like with Icon Frieda, the pilot skill may turn out to be more of a backup, and a help to conduct expeditions. - Which, again, Andie is very good at (arguably better than Icon Hua, except for survival) thanks to the great Icon Diplomat bonus, and extra alien fruit from being considered a Icon Botanist.

Being Icon Confident lets Andie help the ship's morale, as well as help with the Icon Mush hunt by clearing people of suspicion. And finally, the general Action Point bonus and success chances from having Icon Devotion + Icon Expert can enable him/her to do just about anything better than the average crew member, if needed.

So all in all, (s)he will be a good choice for players who put the ship first, and are willing to fill in whatever role will be needed the most.

Useful tips

  • Andie's Glory glory objective is fulfilled no matter who performs the actual trade. She does not have to be Icon Communications Officer to receive the Glory bonus.

Trivia

  • As with Icon Derek Hogan, Andie's character artwork has been done by a different artist. Mathieu "Ani" Leyssenne, the original Mush artist, no longer works with Motion Twin.
  • Everyone can flirt with Andie, and s/he can do the thing with everyone. They are therefore the first bisexual character on the ship.
    • Originally written as a bisexual, androgynous male, Andie was rewritten with an ambiguous gender (and the pronouns changed accordingly in their bio), most likely to allow the players to roleplay Andie as they wish (male or female, straight, bi or gay).
    • To maintain the ambiguity, it seems that Andie cannot get Pregnant.

Biography

The character's current biography:

3130
Born somewhere on Earth.
3136
Abandoned by his/her parents in the first months of his/her existence, Andie is saved by a commission of the SDF. (S)he is promptly placed in a specialized home as SDF protegé, where his/her innate abilities are soon discovered. (S)he is then swiftly planted in an SDF-controlled school and enters the Federation Youth Program.
3145
(S)he remains brilliant in his/her studies and enters the most prestigious university of the Federation. Constantly indoctrinated during his/her studies, Andie heeds nothing other than the way of the Federation. Despite his/her naiveté, Andie is very popular and never has any trouble making friends. With his/her angelic face, (s)he unwittingly attracts the sympathy of all. His/her roommate, Viktor Carlsson, secretly planted in the university by his father Nils, dearly pays for their friendship. For confiding his secret mission to him/her during conversation, he soon finds himself arrested for conspiracy. Andie innocently thinks that he just switched courses...
3151
Andie makes the acquaintance of sergeant instructor Icon Derek Hogan who, being portrayed as a national hero, spends the entirety of his lessons telling stories of his fantastic life. Andie discovers the father figure (s)he's been missing in his/her instructor and begins to idolize him. (S)he believes every word of his tales and stories and begins to dream of travelling through space as well.
3153
Andie fervently studies subject after subject in order to best serve the Federation. (S)he brilliantly attains three Ph.Ds: in botany for his/her dissertation on the healing properties of Tau-Ceti's Bachean bulb, in biology with his/her study on the social behavior of polarized amoeba in the Aegean Sea of the third planet on the Sol system, and finally in diplomacy with his/her mediation report which, according to the jury, could have inspired the negotiators who failed to prevent Sol's great battle. (S)he becomes the first triple laureate in the Federation.
3154
With his/her studies over, Andie decides to become a pilot, joining the Federation's airforce and easily obtaining his/her license. (S)he asks to be posted on Xyloph-17 and is soon noticed by Icon Kim Jin Su. Derek, however, does not recognize him/her.
3154
Oblivious to what's coming from the shadows, and believing to still be serving the Federation, Andie boards the Daedalus.
