Oh the possibilities!!
Edit - removed my little theory. Had my wires crossed about another planetary codex entry that talked about a system that showed signs of independent FTL travel.

So apparently Asari explorers have discovered a new human colony that nobody has ever heard of before.
Oh the possibilities!!

Yeah, I thought that was an interesting little article for CDN. How did the humans get there? Are they from Earth? Alpha Centuari isn't really that far from Earth and I'm sort of surprised it hasn't gotten a mention any where else before in the codex or anything. Can't wait to see the follow-up stories for it.

Sounds like something the Alliance would dispatch the VS to investigate.

could you imagine for a second, how profound that would be, if in real life we discovered another human planet. we would have to rewrite our entire history as we saw it, throw out darwin and start again lol.
But in ME universe, as space travel is already around, I could find it plausable that a colony would of sprung up without any 'legal permission'
When the British began colonising Australia, and began to spread inland 'officially' they found large farms and even a town that technicly shouldnt of existed, but some were outlaw communites, one was even a dutchspeaking farm 0o
History has all kinds of cool things like that, when the spanish arrived in the new world, they were 'expected' already, white skinned creatures had already visited America befor, many now belive it was Vikings who actully discovered America. Or the part of China where th locals are closer in genetics to Italians, with local lore stating they are the decendants of a 'lost legion' from the old silk roads.
Love it, and in a Galaxy, the chances for things like that happening would be immense

Wouldn't take much for a group of people to round up a few ships and pick some random place to live. You dont really have to tell anyone where you are going.
Perhaps they are Mormon Extremists who have choosen a (maybe) less than safe place to live.

They are a colony of human survivors from the current Reaper invasion who traveled back in time 10,000 years and established a base in the system. They have been hiding, refusing to make use of the relay network in case they get discovered. Their advanced technology will provide the key to defeating the Reapers.
Alternatively, the Protheans transplanted some humans to that system when they were last on Earth as an experiment.

10 whole internets have been awarded to this user.
A lot to speculate about, but it seems like it's just a group of dissident humans who abandoned the Systems Alliance and set up shop elsewhere. Or Cerberus.
Could be something cooler though. Like a Prothean backup for the human race to better ensure their survival, maybe this system doesn't have a Mass Relay. Or - even wackier, humans were originally found to be evolving on two separate planets, which is why the Protheans studied them in the first place! Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

Probably just some humans who decided to drop off the galactic map for a combination of religious/political/survivalist reasons. The Amish in space.

Maybe it's just an easter-egg-y reference to SMAC.

DAY 1
01/12
Alliance headquarters on Arcturus Station is buzzing about an unusual
incident tonight. Information is still sketchy, but it appears asari
explorers have alerted Alliance leadership to a previously unknown
colony of humans in the Alpha Centauri system. The asari were monitoring
a primitive alien species on a planet in the region when a human party
approached and ambushed them, taking at least one asari scientist
prisoner. Rather than intervene and potentially inflame the situation,
the asari contacted Alliance leadership to maintain peace. But as one
Alliance source confided, that’s easier said than done. The source
explained: “The thing is, we can’t find any record of these people.
None. So what are they doing out there?” Further details will follow as
the situation develops.
DAY 2
01/13
Surprising details have emerged about recently-discovered human
colonists in the Alpha Centauri system who captured an asari scientist.
Alliance ships performed a reconnaissance overflight of the planet in
question and gathered details about a settlement there. After
cross-referencing with Alliance databases, a clearer picture has
emerged. An Alliance source explained: "These people are literally a
lost colony in every sense of the word. We're 95% certain they
originated from the Manswell Expedition of 2070." A background check
reveals Victor Manswell was a billionaire who funded his own private
spaceflight in the year 2075 after growing frustrated with the pace of
official exploration. Pre-dating the use of mass effect relays, some 300
people joined the expedition and were placed in cryogenic freeze for
the journey. After a successful launch the colonists were never heard
from again... until today, if Alliance suspicions prove true.[/i]
DAY 3
01/14
An effort is underway today in the Alpha Centauri system as Alliance
specialists work to establish contact with a lost colony of early human
explorers who took an asari scientist prisoner. Mission Commander Jon
Hayes said: "As near as we can tell, these people slipped through the
cracks. They were considered missing when communication was lost with
their ship after they left in 2075 and fell off the radar, so to speak.
It's entirely possible they have no idea what's happened in the galaxy
for the last 110 years. We're treating it as a first contact situation."
Accompanying the military will be experts from a variety of fields,
including sociologists, anthropologists, linguists, psychologists,
geneticists, and a host of supporting medical personnel. One
anthropologist commented "It reminds me of those 19th century explorers
who discovered tribes deep in the Amazon rainforest. The natives had no
idea the wider world existed.
DAY 4
01/15
The mission to establish contact with a lost human colony from the
Manswell Expedition bore mixed results this week. According to Commander
Jon Hayes, Alliance ships landed far from the human settlement so as
not to exacerbate an already uncertain situation. “We didn’t want a
whole armada of ships descending from the sky to spook these people.”
Nevertheless, the colonists feared an attack when Alliance personnel
approached on foot. “They put up a spirited defense. A few of our people
were wounded, and unfortunately they suffered a few casualties as
well.” Once the situation was under control, a dialogue with the
colonists was opened. “It took some convincing that we were humans from
Earth. They suspected an alien plot.” Eventually, an Alliance
representative was allowed into their camp to make contact with their
leader and check on the condition of their asari prisoner. Details are
pending.
DAY 5
01/16
More news today out of the Alpha Centauri system, where an Alliance
mission has made contact with a lost colony of human explorers from the
Manswell Expedition of 2070. “To say these people are in a state of
shock would be an understatement,” said Commander Jon Hayes. “Nearly 120
years of history has passed them by. When they left Earth, nobody knew
aliens even existed.” The colonists’ asari prisoner has been released
and is in good condition. “They were understandably spooked by the
asari. Who wouldn’t be, seeing a biotic alien for the first time? In
fact, I want to personally thank the asari for her restraint in this
matter. She could have fought her way out, but once she understood the
situation these people were in, she was patient and let the Alliance
resolve the situation.” Sociologists are now working with the colonists
to decide the best course of action for the future.

Maybe the Alliance, or even Cerberus, has begun hiding people in remote locations? Without any records so they can't be tracked down by the Reapers?

Its either a reference to SMAC or this is a sign of the reaper invasion. Perhaps the Reapers indoctrinated a freighter carrying many people and then landed it.
