Ando Project
this was the name of the Imperial operation geared toward harvesting Andoan mineral-fish for use in cheaply extracting certain minerals needed for the production of laser weapons. The mineral-fish were collected by the Bountiful and processed for shipment aboard the Eclipse freighter to Uridia. Once on the arid moon, the mineral-fish were adapted for life there in order to help the Empire process uridium from the ground. The project was disrupted by a team of Alliance agents from Chiron Base, after Captain Amarith received a tipoff on the Imperial activities on Ando.
