The Ando Project represented an initiative undertaken by the Galactic Empire. Its purpose was to gather Andoan mineral-fish, offering an economical approach to obtaining minerals vital for manufacturing laser weaponry.
The collection of the fish was performed by the vessel named Bountiful. Subsequently, these fish were moved to the freighter known as the Eclipse, where processing occurred before their shipment to Uridia. Upon arrival, the fish were situated in specialized tanks, undergoing adaptation to facilitate the extraction of uridium from the Uridian earth. Amarith, a Captain affiliated with the Rebel Alliance, received intelligence concerning the Imperial activities on Ando. Consequently, she spearheaded a group of Alliance operatives originating from Chiron Base with the aim of disrupting the endeavor.
