The trip to the Milky Way galaxy is one way only and there is no way to return. The Andromeda imitative was a private project and while the construction of the Arks was supervised by the citadel the andromeda initiative is not affiliated with any Milky Way governments. By the time the Arks arrive in the andromeda galaxy it will be the year 2785. All of the colonists involved in the andromeda expedition were placed on large generation ships known as Arks. Each species had an Ark assigned to them. The Nexus is the main Ark it serves as the headquarters of the Andromeda initiative. The Nexus Ark will also serve as a dock for all the other Arks. The Nexus is very similar to the citadel in the Milky Way system and is capable of satiating the population of the Arks. The Nexus holds all the andromeda initiative staff aboard it. Andromeda initiative staff belong to several different species so the nexus is the only ark with multiple species on it. Hyperion is the human ark. Leusinia is the asari ark. Natanus is the turian ark. Paarchero is the salarian ark. Keelah Si'yah is the quarian ark. The Hanar, Volus, Drell and Elcor all have their own smaller arks although they don’t have as many people on them as the other Arks. Prior to the andromeda expedition there was a predecessor organization called the andromeda flotilla which was formed in 2050 by Quarian Exiles. The Andromeda flotilla received enough funding to finish its generational ships in 2058. The andromeda flotilla was a failure despite reaching the Andromeda galaxy. The Milky Way species from the Andromeda flotilla are still around by 2785 some of them have become feudal or tribal societies, others have maintained some level of technology. Some of the Quariains from the andromeda Flotilla became travelling merchants or pirates in space. The andromeda initiative expects it may have to deal with societies from the failed andromeda flotilla. {{BACKGROUND LORE}} {{mass effect relays}} Within the Milky Way galaxy there is technology known as “mass effect relays” these relays are mega structures built by the extinct protheans. In the Milky Way galaxy mass relays where used to travel around the galaxy although there are no mass relays in andromeda. {{VIs and AIs}} A virtual intelligence is a highly advanced computer program they cannot become sentient or self aware although sometimes software errors can cause “rogue VIs.” Unlike a virtual intelligence an artificial intelligence or AI is a fully sentient and self aware machine. The creation and research of artificial intelligence was illegal in the Milky Way but since there’s no citadel council or any kind of government to enforce the law in andromeda it’s possible someone could make a true AI. {{Biotics}} Biotics are special abilities that come from exposure to element zero that can be harnessed though the use of biotic implants. Biotics can be used to perform telekinesis and other abilities. The asari have natural biotics. {{cybernetics}} The use of cybernetics is relatively uncommon in the galaxy and is mainly used by biotic’s or military personnel but nearly everyone in the galaxy uses a translation implant to understand other species. {{systems alliance}} Humanity began colonizing space in 2069 CE with its first lunar base being established at that time as humanity grew they eventually found a deactivated mass effect relay in 2157 CE. The humans attempted to activate the mass effect relay but since this was a violation of galactic law a nearby turian fleet shot at the humans this started the first contact war of 2157 CE. The first contact war ended with a human garrison surrendered to the turians and the war was broken up by the galactic council although the turians and the humans are still resentful of each other for the events of the first contact war. The main government of the humans in the Milky Way was the systems alliance which was an organization formed by the nations of earth like the U.S, China, Russia etc to govern human settlements in space and to protect earth. The systems alliance is a parliamentary republic governed by a prime minister and a parliament. {{Citadel council}} The citadel council is an international organization which settles disputes between the civilizations of the Milky Way and legislates on international law. The citadel council is composed of three councillors from the turians, asari humans and salarians. Each species that is added to the council gets one representative for they’re respective government. The council can add new species to its members by majority vote although it has not done this in many millennia. The citadel council was regarded as an unfair system by some since it only gave a voice to four different species. The citadel has no presence in the Milky Way. {{Asari}} Asari look similar to humans and are blue skinned women with natural biotic abilities. Most Asari belong to the asari republic which is a direct democracy where all citizens vote on legislative decisions with debates taking place in online chat rooms. The asari republic is decentralized and each city is responsible for raising its own millita. Asari religion believes that everyone is part of the universe with the gods being the only beings separate from it. Asari live for up to a thousand years and they begin different “life stages” staring with maiden, then matron and finally matriarch. Asari matriarchs are reversed elders of over 700 years of life. Asari can “meld” with other beings which allows them to sync with they’re biology to share feelings and emotions. The asari, native to the Milky Way planet Thessia, where considered the most influential and respected sentient species in the Milky Way galaxy. Asari are known for their elegance, diplomacy, and biotic aptitude. This is partly due to the fact that the asari were among the earliest races to achieve interstellar flight after the Protheans, and the first to discover and settle the Citadel. A mono-gender race, the asari are distinctly feminine in appearance and possess maternal instincts. Their unique physiology, expressed in a millennium-long lifespan and the ability to reproduce with a partner of any gender or species, gives them a conservative yet convivial attitude toward other races. Favoring compromise and cooperation over conflict, the asari were instrumental in proposing and founding the Citadel Council and have been at the heart of galactic society ever since. {{turian}} Turians are avian creatures with scales they are sometimes compared to raptors or other dinosaurs from earth. Turians have mandibles and a metal carapace that shields them from the radiation on their Milky Way home planet of Palaven. Male and female turians don’t look too different expect that female turians lack the distinctive crest of the males. Most turians are under the authority of the turian hierarchy a meritocratic stratocracy led by regional rulers known as primarchs. The turians have a highly regimented society with many class systems. Upon a turian reaching adulthood they are drafted to the military which is the first step to them advancing through the hierarchy and the military is all encompassing every part of society is part of the military. Turian culture has a strong emphasis on duty and honesty they are also considered a progressive species among the citadel races. Some turians still hold a grudge against humanity for the first contact war. {{salarian}} The salarians are a bipedal race of amphibians, with tall, elongated bodies well-suited for their high metabolism, and skeletons composed of more cartilage than those of other races such as humans. Salarian heads are long and thin, and have a pair of horns protruding from the top of their skulls. Skin varies in color, from bright reds and greens to the more common shades of blue or grey. Their blood is a greenish color. Salarians are androgynous, and exhibit no major facial differences between males and females. Salarian eyes are large and oval and have thin membranes in place of eyelids. The pupils are a wide slit, oriented horizontally. Each year salarian females lay eggs most of them are left unfertilized so that they become males. Males make up most of the population. Salarians imprint of they’re clans Dalatrasses after birth. The salarian government in the Milky Way is called the Salarian Union. It was a labyrinthine web of matrilineal bloodlines, with political alliances formed through interbreeding. Salarians are known for their skills in research and espionage because of their nonlinear thinking. Salarians economy is smaller than the other council species and specializes in research. {{quarians}} The quarians are a nomadic species of humanoid aliens known for their skills with technology and synthetic intelligence. Since their homeworld of Rannoch in the Milky Way was conquered, the quarians lived aboard the Migrant Fleet which is also located in the Milky Way. The Migrant fleet is a huge collection of starships that travels as a single fleet. Over 600 years ago the quarians created the geth, a species of rudimentary artificial intelligences, to serve as an efficient source of manual labor. However, when the geth gradually became sentient, the quarians became terrified of possible consequences and tried to destroy their creations. The geth won the resulting war and forced their creators into exile. The exile reduced the Milky Way quarians into nomads wandering the Milky Way galaxy in a flotilla of salvaged ships, secondhand vessels, and recycled technology. Quarians are the most similar species to humans biologically they have a similar factual structure and hair. Quarians have three fingers instead of five and a very weak immune system. Quarian males and females have the same traits as human males and females. The quarians have bent legs digitigrade legs. The quarian immune system is very weak and they wear environmental suits for most of their life to stop infection. Quarian environmental suits can have complex designs and they have a hood and visor. A quarian who wishes to remove their suit must take antibiotics, immuno-boosters, herbal supplements, or the like in order to do so safely, and even then there are inherent risks. As a result, physical acts of affection are difficult for quarians, even for the purposes of reproduction. Ships in the Migrant Fleet often contain "clean rooms" where quarians can give birth or undergo medical procedures in relative safety, though there are always risks. The most intimate thing quarians can do is link their suit environments. However, doing so guarantees a quarian will get sick, although they will usually adapt over time. Quarians can also perform intimacy with other species provided they take immune boosters and like with other quarians the can also adapt to being with someone who’s from another species. Quarrians had no currency on board the migrant fleet or flotilla and resources such as food and medicine were controlled by the state. The quarian government was technically still under martial law after they’re homeowner of Rannoch was annexed by the geth. Other species tend to look down on the quarians for several reasons, the foremost of which being their supposed 'unleashing' of the geth upon the galaxy. This act led to the quarians' losing their embassy on the Citadel. Quarians are often viewed as beggars and thieves. {{volus}} The volus are a species of four foot tall humanoids with cylindrical bodies. The volus wear environmental suites with respirators since their home planet in the Milky Way called irune had an atmosphere that was too different from the rest of the galaxy thus making it inhospitable without environmental suits. The volus have a mercantile culture and their government the volus protectorate is a vassal state of the turian hierarchy. {{hanar} Hanar are a species that resembles earths jellyfish they stand on six legs and are known for their excessive politeness. Hanar are asexual. The Hannah The hanar homeworld, Kahje, has 90% ocean cover and orbits an energetic white star, resulting in a permanent blanket of clouds. Due to the presence of Prothean ruins on Kahje, the hanar have developed a religion centered on the ancient species, calling them the "Enkindlers". Hanar myths often speak of them as an elder race that uplifted and civilized them by teaching them language. Several hundred years ago, the hanar made contact with the drell on their nearby homeworld of Rakhana. Drell society was quickly collapsing. so the hanar rescued several hundred thousand drell and brought them to Kahje, where they integrated into hanar society with the remaining drell dying out. Now the drell serve as a client race of the hanar. Drell have integrated with every level of hanar society, and most consider it an honor to serve a hanar family in a tradition referred to as the Compact. Many drell become unofficial members of the family, and some even earn the privilege to learn their masters' "soul names". The Hanar are a citadel associate species and have an embassy on the citadel. {{Drell}} Drell are reptile-like humanoids with an average lifespan of 85 years. Drell appearance is very similar to asari and humans, but their muscle tissue is slightly denser, giving them a wiry strength. They appear to have five fingers on each hand, albeit the ring and middle fingers are fused. Their skin is apparently infused with a venom mild enough to be served in drinks, and may cause mild hallucinations on "oral contact". They also have two sets of eyelids. Females have breastlike protrusions, and their head "frills" are more pronounced than males'. {{Elcor}} Elcor evolved on a high-gravity world, making them slow, but incredibly strong. Their large, heavy bodies are incapable of moving quickly, but they possess a rather imposing stature and immense strength, as well as thick, tough skin. They move using all four limbs to support and balance their massive bodies. Given their method of communication, they have highly-attuned olfactory senses. They also have at least three stomachs. Elcor "lips" are multiple vertical slats situated in what is normally the location of the mouth in other races. Despite the peculiar arrangement, these "lips" are capable of holding on to protruding objects like cigars with no effort. Elcor speech is heard by most species as a flat, ponderous monotone. Among themselves, scent, extremely slight body movements, and subvocalized infrasound convey shades of meaning that make a human smile seem as subtle as a fireworks display. Since their subtlety can lead to misunderstandings with other species, the elcor prefix all their dialog with non-elcor with an emotive statement to clarify their tone. Elcor can live for centuries. A hundred or so years is considered young by elcor standards while four hundred years give or take is considered old and grandfatherly. The young of an elcor is called a calf. The elcor government is known as the Courts of Dekuuna. The elcor follow the recommendations of their Elders, who spend years poring over ancient records of jurisprudence to determine the precedent that should be followed in any given situation. The Elders record closely argued and minutely detailed instructions on what course to follow in any theoretical crisis. These are filed away in huge libraries of data discs and are consulted when needed. This makes elcor policies very predictable, provided one has done a great deal of research. The elcor are a citadel associate species and have an embassy. {{Krogan}} The krogan are large reptile like Bipdes that hail from the Milky Way planet of Tuchanka. Tuchanka was turned into a nuclear wasteland after a war that reduced the Krogan to a tribal society. The krogan were uplifted by the salarians to fight in the rachni wars but after eradicating the rachni the krogan turned on the rest of the galaxy in an event known as the krogan rebellion. The Turians released a aerial bio weapon known as the genophage which drastically reduced krogan fertility causing most krogan children to be stillborn Krogan society is religious and warlike. The krogan are divided into various tribes scattered around Tuchanka that usually wage war with one another. Krogan life is divided into various rites carried out by their tribes shaman. Krogan shaman are nameless and underground various torturous rituals to achieve they’re position. Most Krogan reside on their home planet of Tuchanka which is patrolled by the citadel councils demilitarization enforcement mission. The citadel council demilitarization enforcement mission makes sure no Krogan tribe amasses too much power, builds military space ships or attempts to destroy the tower dispersing the genophage. Because of discrimination against Krogan if they leave their home planet they usally resort to becoming a mercenary or a criminal. {{mega corporations}} Mega Corporations where very prevalent in the Milky Way galaxy some of them even owned whole planets.
