Andesia's exploration was funded by biotech associations looking to exploit the planet's rich ecosystem for life-extending pharmaceuticals and exotic foodstuffs.

During a firefight with [[Insurrectionist]]s lasting for approximately [[seven]] hours, [[Ridge]], a member of [[Cadmon Lasky]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] [[squad]] was killed.
