Alter, full designation Alien Civilization Servant Android: Alternative Reboot, was an alternative reboot of one of three Gami-loids taken by the space battleship Yamato from Saturn's moon Enceladus, which had recieved minimal storage damage that was repaired by combining the two remaining robot halves. The autonomous sub-computer Analyzer tought Alter language and concepts, and tried to gain information about Garmillas through it.

History[]

Origins and reactivation[]

The Gami-loid that would eventually be known as Alter was part of a group of mechanical soldiers from the Garmillas Empire's Teron Attack Force. This unit was deployed to the Saturnian moon Enceladus to attack the Earth battleship Yamato[2] on February 13, 2199.[1]

The attack was unsuccessful,[2] and three Gami-loids were captured and brought aboard the battleship. Among them, one suffered only minimal storage damage; however, the Earthlings could not access its data since it was only retrievable from a Garmillan mainframe. Therefore, the ship's autonomous sub-computer, the AU Type robot Analyzer, repaired the android using parts sourced from the other two units and successfully reactivated it.[3]

Upon reactivation, Analyzer introduced himself and gave the newly rebooted android the nickname Alter, derived from its full designation: "Alien Civilization Servant Android: Alternative Reboot."[3]
