House Andrim was a Kuati noble house. At some point during galactic history, House Andrim hired the starshipwright Trondor Pyn to spy on House Purkis, a rival family. However, Pyn was caught by representatives of House Purkis and they forced him to act as a double-agent and spy on House Andrim for them. Desperate to get out of his arrangements with the two houses, Pyn planned to blow up the drydock facilities of both families on Kuat, to distract their attention while he fled off-world.
