Rommie has complete power and control over her ship. Along with her android form, she also communicate via her hologram and online virtual. She is very loyal to her crew, especially to her captain, Dylan Hunt. She has abilities that would be considered superpowers by humans, such as moving extremely fast when need be and using the sensors in her hands to sense things few ordinary humans could, such as lying and internal injury. Even though she is an android, she has human emotions as can be seen in the season one episode "Star Crossed", in which she falls in love with another ship avatar, Gabriel (played by Lexa Doig's husband Michael Shanks).

The two Rommies interact perfectly but seem to be independent. The android Rommie, since her creation, is seen to have evolved differently from the ship's AI and both of them (android and hologram) are sometimes found together chatting, even arguing against each other's opinions. Their biggest difference is that the android, as a creation of Harper, is intended to be human-like and sentimental.
