Utopia Planitia Shipyards, Mars

0700 hours Mars Standard Time

Current Conditions: Clear

The Yamato is seen floating in the shipyard with various craft surrounding it as the title card came into view.

'Welcome to the fleet Girls'

Andy: "Captain's Log, Stardate 58577.3, the Yamato is currently attending the launch ceremony of the First Batch of Andromeda-Class Space Battleships.....which had been pushed back for various reasons that I will not discuss as that would take forever" he said, "USS Andromeda NX-94988, USS Aldebaraan NX-94989, USS Apollo Norm NX-94990, USS Achilles NX-94991, and USS Antares NX-94992. Their designs have been modified extensively with my input and they shall be handed over to the Remnatian Navy when seatrials are done, Utopia Planitia will have full access to build more Andromeda-Class for the Federation and its allies of course. I expect them to make full use of this right and build more Andromedas and Dreadnoughts than Remnant would ever need. Additionally, we have multiple mueseum ships returning to the fleet with Blackboxes equipped so Starfleet can properly test the AI's. With luck, Starfleet's Captains will love the AI's. End Log."

Yamato: "The Andromeda Kids are getting giddy." she giggled, phasing into existence next to Andy.

Andy: "I'd assume any young shipgirl would be." he shrugged, "It's their first hulls after all."

Yamato: "I can imagine." she said, "But I couldn't feel that properly."

Andy: "Yeah, I remember, when I installed your black box you didn't have a proper personality yet." he said, chuckling fondly, "Good times those were."

Yamato: "Yeah, good times." she sighed, "Where did those all go?"

Andy: "Out the window and into the trash." he replied.

The sound of trumpets began to echo over the intercom as the ceremonial glasses of wine shattered against the new Space Battleships' hulls. Their engines soon hummed to life and they slowly left Space Dock to join their older cousins nearby. The Andromeda-Class were painted Federation Grey with red [pinstriping and blue highlights their Wave Motion Guns glowed a menacing red thanks to the paint and with a little tweaking Andy managed to get them to fire red beams as well, as opposed to the blue that Yamato fired from her Wave Motion Gun. 2 of the Andromeda-Class, Apollo Norm and Antares were different, sporting a hangar on top of their bridge which allowed them to support fighters unlike Yamato who had been built with a hangar in her underbelly. This subclass of the Andromeda-Class was named the Apollo Norm-Subclass. To add to their already formidable firepower the Federation had added 4 Quantum Torpedo Launchers on the bows and sterns, multiple Phaser Strips, and there are plans to further modify the ships with different fighters, different torpedoes, and even disruptors.

Yamato: "Captain, I'm being hailed by Andromeda-Chan." she said.

Andy: "Go ahead, you and your little siblings can hang out in the Borderlands for a while." he chuckled.

Yamato smiled thankfully before shimmering out of existence on the Physical Realm and shimmered into the Borderlands. The place had taken the form of a massive party with all the Andromeda Siblings celebrating with artificial drinks and various party games with Musashi, Asuka, and Hyuga joining in the festivities. Speaking of Musashi and Hyuga, they both now resembled their Azur Lane versions and, similar to Asuka, they didn't wear Starfleet Uniforms mainly because they weren't fully Starfleet just yet unlike Yamato who had a registry number and everything.
