Apocrypha
Non-canon
According to the Spirit of Fire Archives blog posts by Graeme Devine, the character Lulu Hershey got annoyed at the Spirit paper for discussing Sandmoore, as she viewed Sandmoore as a "fat chain smoking guy" who broke down during the attack on the UNSC Prophecy, and left the other medical staff while he likely found a bottle of whiskey to keep him company.[2]
Production notes
In an early version of Halo Wars, Andrew Sandmoore was modeled at Ensemble Studios when everything in the game was going to be in realtime.[3] According to the lead writer Graeme Devine, Sandmoore originally had a bigger role with the UNSC Prophecy encounter where he and John Forge started on "opposite sides of the table" but ending up close friends.[4]
According to Graeme most of the models were all placeholder and none of the real time scenes were ever made, with only the models ever being made. By then the team moved onto Blur Studios,[5] and Sandmoore was out the script.[3]

- ^ Twitter, Graeme Devine "Sandmoore made it into some of the Prophecy encounter story stuff, not sure if he made it into the comic or not. That rescue was where he and Forge started out opposite sides of the table but ended up strongest of friends. (From memory here, I could be forgetting!)"
- ^ Twitter, Graeme Devine "I’m pretty sure all just placeholder. Non of the realtime scenes were actually ever made although some of the models were. We had moved to Blur Studios for CGI by then (and I supported that)."
