I'm more interested in the K.
You don't see Ks very often in these things.
The "K" stands for "Kombat"
Acronyms really kick off noodling-around, don't they.
Confirmed, so it is an acronym!
Mark Meer is making Hanar jellyfish jokes again.
He's such a space racist.
Confirmed, so it is an acronym!
I don't think it's an acronym in the way people are thinking, with one letter corresponding to a word.
SPECTRE was SPECial Tactics and REconnaissance, after all, and I figure if nothing else they're doing lots of stuff that goes back to the spirit of ME1.

However it was shown as Spectre, not S.P.E.C.T.R.E. like A.R.C.K.O.N. is. The separation of each letter tends to imply each letter stands for a different word.

Can anyone think of a realistic phrase that fits though?
IMO it's far more likely to be like SPECTRE.
The game opens up with A.R.K.C.O.N. being explained to us like this:

Andromeda??
Reconnaissance?? Rebuild??
Key??
Contingency??
Objective?? Operation??
N??
It's a a difficult acronym to figure. Definitely.
Andromeda Research & Knowledge for the Coexistence of Old Nuances.
I dunno
I suck at acronyms.

More plausible, but "Research and Knowledge" sounds incredibly clunky.

Recon and Knowledge?
TBH, that's the only K word I can come up with...
Yeah, I just think "Knowledge" is a really weird word to have in an organisation name
What sort of organisation acronyms are six letters long, too...
There aren't many other K words though.
Recon and Knowledge?
TBH, that's the only K word I can come up with...
The Alliance switched to German after the war. There are so many words with "K".
Problem solved.

Keep in mind "Spectre" stands for SPECial Tactics and REconnaissance so it doesn't have to be six words long.

Yeah, that's why I've been saying it's ARK CONtingency ![]()
Checking out the Montréal Comic-Con with the family today. BioWare panel at 1:30 sharp with @Faburisu, @MarieBrisebois and Dorian Kieken.
Yeah, that's why I've been saying it's ARK CONtingency
I agree, that's the strongest guess I've heard so far...
Yeah, that's why I've been saying it's ARK CONtingency
COuld be form in-game names though:
