An idea I had in mind, but not sure what exactly to do with her or where to really take her. Something about her seemed interesting, at least in that there's only one other android listed as having a 'combat chassis', but nothing on this level.
-------
Galatea.
Since the Boskone War, intentionally creating dedicated combat androids have been forbidden. Both on cruelty grounds (To the AI), and sheer public safety grounds. Depending on who you talk to, Galatea is either a clever dodge around the rule, or exactly what it's trying to prevent. Galatea was built to be a 'sparring partner', rather than for actual combat. (The AR-series for example seem to set a precedent that 'sparring partners' are acceptable, provided no impingment is made on the free will of the android)
More accurately, Galatea was designed and built to be a fair match in a fight to Jet Jaguar.
Currently, she trains and lives on 77 Frigga, while people figure out what exactly to do about her.
==Tech
So, what do we know about her?
Her mind is derived from the Flint-series androids, with a personality matrix formed around the perfection of her martial arts. She has full radar, radio and sensor systems. An internal battlesteel structure makes her both heavy, and solid and able to take a hit. Drives are powerful enough for a top speed of .19C. Reaction times, eyesight and senses far exceed human norms, especially when combined with an android's natural multitasking abilities.
==Appearance
Female. Tall. Silver hair. parian complection, with glassy grey eyes. Just slightly inhuman. Silver, purple and Teal hardsuit colour. Galatea has no ears, only a pair of blade-like antennae. She shares clear lineage with Jet Jaguar, having a similar general arrangement. (And potentially even sharing some spare parts).
==Personality
A martial artist, first and formost. Quiet, contemplative, curious. Galatea is well aware of what she is. She has a strong sense of what's right, but not always what exactly is wrong. Her personality matrix was grown around a core of Judo, Ninjitsu, Capoeira, followed by training in the Panzer Kunst. Not an outright pacifist, but prefers nonviolent solutions. The quiet person who no-one wants to go to war.

Wavium Attributes
"Living weapon,;" Built as a sparring partner for Jet. Complete with battlesteel framing. Full onboard radar, sensor suite and interwave link. Armour capable tanking a coilcannon shot and drives good enough for .19C in the limit.
"SNARC." Can synchronise wirelessly with hardware specifically built to enable it. (And some hardware that isnt) Capable of hacking, but not an obsessive hacker - it's natural for her.
"I am my ride." Capable of open spaceflight.
==
"Terminator." Combat android. With all the hassle that comes with it. She's just not welcome in some places.
"Sotai.." Prone to just synchronising with hardware rather than using it 'properly' Has little natural respect for system boundaries. It's not unusual for her to use radiocommunication and radiotelepathy with those capable of receiving them rather than speak.
