ISV-Andromeda (Interstellar Vehicle)

-ISV 'Andromeda'-
An almost mythical Interstellar Vehicle, the Andromeda-Class is (or was) the most advanced type of ISV ever built by MRD Industries, which is also the first ever Generation-Class ISV, carrying an entire country's worth of inhabitants in it.

Also built in secrecy, what is known of this spaceship is a scarce baseline of leaked documents and images, proposing a concept of an ISV that's capable of warping spacetime with an Alcubierre Warp Drive, hence its current "mythical" state.

From what the leaks show, it features a similar "Chariot" configuration of the Auriga-Class, with an unique quadruple fusion drive on each side of the spaceship that aims both pro-grade and retro-grade, making it the first ISV to not use the flip maneuver for deceleration.

There's a running theory that the Andromeda-Class ISV is nothing but a propaganda tool, with the "Leak" being an entire hoax. Some suspect its a false-flag for a war between Mars and Earth-Moon colonies, as a Warp Drive capable spaceship is deemed too much of a threat to the Solar System. Others just like to entertain themselves with the idea of a functional Alcubierre Warp Drive for the first time ever.

Only YOU [THE PLAYER] know that it is indeed a real ISV that was built, and its canonically on its way to the Andromeda Galaxy. However, you'll never see its return, as it was deemed a failure due to loss of communication upon its Warp Drive activation. Either it couldn't handle it and blew up, or the Warp Drive simply took them on a voyage beyond our time. You'll never know...
