Overview[]
The Halcyon Promise was the flagship of Tri-Jema during the era of the New Commonwealth. The ship and its battlegroup, under the command of Tri-Jema, tracked the Andromeda Ascendant to the Gordion Maze in an attempt to force the handover of the Route of Ages star map. The mission proved unsuccessful when Andromeda evaded allowing Beka to launch out of Tri-Jema's view.
After threatening the Andromeda with destruction if it resisted, Dylan showed up with Rhade aboard the Eureka Maru to find Andromeda surrounded by the battlegroup. Tri-Jema made brief contact with the Maru then took the Halcyon Promise into the Gordian Maze, where the ship was crushed and destroyed by the unpredictable slipstream vortex. (S4E18: Trusting the Gordian Maze)
Class and Identification[]
The specific class of ship was never mentioned in the show, but the vessel is generally referred to throughout the Andromeda community as a Triumvirate Heavy Cruiser.
It is not known if the Halcyon Promise is the very same ship that Tri-Lorn commanded in (S4E11 The Torment, The Release), or another ship of the same class.
