A top-notch engineer, an attentive mentor, an inspiring role model, and a dedicated Starfleet officer - this is the reputation that Andy Billups built for himself during his career aboard the U.S.S. Cerritos. Although battle-ready and courageous, he remains shy and humble, dedicating most of his time to his engineering duties and tending to his beloved warp core. Among the halls and chambers of Hysperian castles, Andy is addressed by his title, Prince Andarithio; a formality typically reserved for Hysperian royalty. Lieutenant Billups chose to abdicate his birthright in order to serve in Starfleet, but such a decision wasn’t eagerly accepted by his mother, Queen Paolana. She has utilized all the tricks in her book to make Andarithio take a consort and claim the Hysperian throne. However, much to the joy of his fellow Cerritos crew, the Queen’s efforts failed, merely reinforcing Billups’ resolve to remain serving as a Starfleet engineer.
