Good question, but probably we will never know the answer.
It's another thing to speculate on.
If there are trans-galactic relays from the Milky Way to another galaxy , then the RGB beam might have gotten to other galaxies.
If there are no trans-galactic relays, then probably not.

The codex speaks of dormant relays. Kept inactive because noone knows if what lies behind is friendly or not.

[Salarian Jesus]

That's right, they could be trans-galactic relays, and we can't say that they are not, until proven otherwise.

The Reapers wouldn't exist in other galaxies, right?

[jstme]

Uiverse is infinitely huge. Reapers visit +-50000 years and stay for a century. Even cutting it to 50 years per each saving of organic life,reapers that grant their services to Milky Way cannot visit more then 1000 galaxies.
There are hundreds of billions galaxies out there. Catalyst (or writers behind the concept) has/ve faulty logic.

Sorry OP, forgot the point on topic behind all the rage.
RGB ending is a space magic. One can try and fit destroy and control into the universe frame (because those things can happen locally only in Milky Way and its vicinity) ,but green wave covering all the universe is . No other way to fit it in.

... and then, the Yuuzhan Vong arrive, immune to all biotic abilities and superior defenses and weaponry.

After defeating them, the races of the galaxy accidentally awaken the Wraith.

After that, the Nephilim arrive to purge the Galaxy of all life for the failures of the Reapers to keep the cycles going.

Assuming mass-effect FTL travel and the time involved in the Reaper cycle, Reapers could have made it to any of the 100 or so Galaxies in the Local Group (near the Milky Way) to build Mass Relays. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.6 million light years away, and some dwarf galaxies like the Large Magellanic Cloud are only 160,000 light years away.

I always found it interesting that the galactic core has its own area boundary on the galaxy map, but isn't used. Judging from ME2, that would seem to be the place that synthetics would hide an intergalactic relay from organics.

I believe that the consequences of the RGB decisions never actually happened-- they are illusions of choices made by the Catalyst for the sole purpose to use doubt and fear to exploit compromise Shepard's willpower.


Synthetic uprising is a natural phobia for all orgaincs. It's what compelled the Quarians to attack the Geth, forcing them to rebel. Most organics believe that AIs and synthetic life are naturally hostile to organics once they gain self awareness, which was supported by unprovoked Geth attacks in ME1, but proven wrong when allied with Legion in ME2 and proven wrong even further by the peace between the Quarians and Geth in ME3 (if you've done it). Control doesn't control the Reapers, Synthesis doesn't lead to the so-called pinnacle of evolution for organics and synthetics, and Destroy does not destroy anyone. In my opinion, the endings is not really about ending the cycle in the best way, it's about seeing through Catalyst's deception and finding the correct way out of the illusion, much like how Neo from the Matrix Reloaded movie saw through the Architect's lies about which door leads to Zion's salvation, which is... None of them. The door that supposedly leads to Zion's salvation only leads to the Source where Neo would have unwittingly sacrificed his life only to keep the Matrix operational if he had let himself be decieved. In Shepard's case, allowing Shepard to be decieved into ending the cycle on Reaper terms leads to indoctrination.

It also kinda funny the catalyst doesnt mention organics own tendencies to destroy each other

[Applepie_Svk]

It must be, there is countless numbers of Galaxies which must have a life, otherwise it is just a speculation but just good question is why the Reapers are vanishing for 50k years to unkown space - by my theory they are going to harvest another galaxy. Why should they just wait for our galaxy ?
If they can travel from one corner of Milky Way to another only on FTL for 9 years than I guess it´s possible that they harvest more galaxies each cylce....

[RavenEyry]

No, the tyranids ate them all.

[jijeebo]

Maybe the reapers come from a galaxy that was destroyed by synthetics and that's why their solution is so extreme and Star-Jars resolve so strong.

Although you may have been sarcastic, this is actually something that the ending could have benefitted from. Evidence from the Catalyst. He doesn't present any so most don't believe him.

If he said he came from a universe, all life was about to be extinguished, and they used the last to build a Reaper - probably Harbinger - then he would have at least some credibility.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all.


imo Star-Jar and the reapers originating from another, now destroyed, galaxy could actually be one of  the easiest ways to explain the severity of their solution. I'd just never thought about it as a possibility before.

The Red/Green/Blue decision changes the whole universe whether they like it or not.

This makes as much sense as the Citadel being in control of all Mass Relays that cover the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Now that Starchild and the Reapers have ruined our entire Galaxy...how many stars is that?

Actually they should have explained....and it should matter...that very few star systems are accessable by Mass Relay..

Also they should explain that only a few races have bumped into each other..ones that found Mass Relays.

Am I missing something or is there something in the game that explains why only a few star systems matter or

are accessible?

I know they wanted to simplify and make the game "galactic" but even this galaxy has alot of stars/distance.
