The '''Androsynth''' are a fictional race of beings featured in the ''[[Star Control]]'' [[science fiction]] [[computer game]] series. |

==Fate== |
|||
However, an Earthling exploration vessel intent on meeting with the Androsynth entered the system many years later, finding the apparent remains of the Androsynth civilization on the second planet. Not a single Androsynth, dead or alive, was found among the scraps of their buildings and technology. Rumours spread, citing Androsynth to have again made a great leap of technological prowess, which had for unknown reasons resulted in the disappearance of the entire race this time. The recently-appeared [[Orz (Star Control)|Orz]] seemed to know something about the vanishment, but were unwilling to the point of hostility to discuss the matter. The fate of the Androsynth remains a mystery. |

==Androsynth Guardian== |
|||
The Guardian ship is of curious design, yet its [[asymmetry|asymmetrical]] appearance hides a powerful set of features. The ship's primary weapon fires a scattering of bubbles, that wade towards the enemy with a degree of randomness. The second mode of attack, however, turns the ship into a blazing comet, that — given enough weapon energy — speeds through the battlefield and [[ramming|rams]] the foe to scrap. When it runs out of weapon energy it reverts to the regular form. |
|||
A standard tactic for the Androsynth Guardian dictates forming a protective cloud of bubbles and hiding behind it until the enemy ship is close enough to be battered to death using the comet form. Obviously, the tactic becomes effete when facing a ship that renders the protective cloud useless — such as a [[Chenjesu]] Broodhome, which can simply shoot right through the bubbles. |
