Thanks for the quick confirmation, didymos1120.
And thanks to charmingcharlie for more verification.
Now doesn't that make the last three items from Cerberus Daily News more interesting. (Others have posted this stuff before. It's repeated here so people checking on the thread can see it without scrolling back. Also, these entries from Cerberus Daily is from the Mass Effect Wiki at masseffect.wikia.com) Emphasis added:
01/22/2011 - Batarian and Alliance Forces in Standoff in Skyllian Verge
“The galaxy is on high alert as starships belonging to the Earth Systems Alliance and Batarian Hegemony refuse to back down from a confrontation in the Skyllian Verge. The encounter began when a frigate from the batarian colony of
Aratoht discovered an Alliance cruiser, the SSV Budapest, on patrol in the
Bahak system. The Alliance claims the Budapest was chasing a pirate fleet that has been harassing human colonies in the Skyllian Verge, and that it was fully within its rights to travel through Bahak's space. The Batarian Hegemony has demanded the Alliance's immediate withdrawal from their colony's system. Three batarian cruisers stationed on Aratoht are now on their way to join the confrontation.”
01/23/2011 - SSV Budapest Retreats from Batarian Space
“The Alliance cruiser that sparked a standoff between the Earth Systems Alliance and Batarian Hegemony has retreated from the Bahak system. Hegemony officials claim to have found no trace of the pirate fleet the Alliance was allegedly pursuing when the SSV Budapest flew into the system. The Alliance maintains it was chasing pirates raiding human merchant vessels when it crossed into batarian space, but
refuses to release any of its ships' logs. Despite this, Citadel observers say the Alliance's withdrawal has done enough to ease tensions. “The Hegemony knows the Alliance is attempting to save face,” said one anonymous Citadel diplomat. “At this juncture, the humans' retreat from Aratoht [in the Bahak system] has gone from a diplomatic crisis to an embarrassment they want swept under the rug.”
01/24/2011 - Paper Suggests Mass Relays Predate Protheans
“Historians and astronomers alike are abuzz tonight over a new paper published by
Dr. Amanda Kenson of the University of Arcturus. Her team claims that by testing the dust trapped in the gravity wells around a mass relay, and comparing its composition to that of dust clouds in the same system, scientists can create a timeline of when the relay passed through the dust. Her conclusion? “Only a small fraction of the mass effect relays date back 50,000 years,” she writes, “The majority are far older, indicating they were created by a species predating even the Protheans.” Dr. Aurana T'Meles of the University of Serrice met the information with skepticism: “While Dr. Kenson's methods appear sound, the asari tried a similar procedure centuries ago and discounted it. What civilization could have spanned the galaxy for not thousands, but millions of years? If this were the case, we should have found mountains of evidence of their passing. Where is this species now?”
