Sector 102 // PSI Judge Anderson

Judge Cassandra Anderson is a member Justice Department's Psi Division, which specialises in judges possessing and dealing with psychic phenomena. Like her namesake, she possesses prophetic abilities. In addition to being able to sense approaching danger and foresee events of the near future, she is also telepathic. This allows her to read other people's minds and use mental attacks. As a young child, her abilities attracted the attention of Psi Division and Anderson was taken from her family to undergo intensive training alongside other cadets at The Academy of Law.

Anderson first appeared during the initial incursion by Judge Death, a psychotic and warped version of the Mega-City One Judges that murdered innocent citizens, under the belief that only the living could commit crime and that thus, all living beings were guilty. Anderson would prove to be instrumental in tracking Death, as well as explaining his origins to Dredd.

Once the Judges finally cornered him, Anderson trapped Judge Death's spirit in her mind when his body was destroyed. However, to prevent Death overwhelming her and escaping she was caught in a bubble of the miracle plastic "Boing", trapping her and Death together in stasis. Anderson was then entombed - and enshrined - in the Hall of Heroes within the Grand Hall of Justice. Given a heroes' burial thanks to her efforts in saving the city.

After a deadly run in with Judge Death, Anderson was placed in a coma and infected with the psychic Half Life virus that would be released if she ever awoke. She was able to contain the virus within a web of psychic constructions and illusions, but she was slowly dying. A team of Psi-Judges was sent in to rescue her and destroy the virus; they succeeded in rescuing Anderson, at the cost of nearly the whole team, but Half Life passed on to Judge Gistane, who was then experimented on by the mad Judge Fauster so he could use the virus to achieve immortality. When Half Life was unleashed on the city causing a wave of mass murder, Anderson was the one who stopped it.

Since exiting her coma, Anderson is still dealing with her increasing age; she is now pushing fifty and since being a Psi stops her from using the drugs & treatments that keep aging Street Judges active, she knows she will eventually be unable to do her job anymore. She will eventually meet a tragic yet inevitable end.
