When Mass effect 3 ends(with ending DLC) you see how some of the characters who were on earth are back on their planets and such. I just wonder how they got back there with the mass relays destroyed and so.

*I destroyed the reapers

The relays are rebuilt eventually, atleast in high EMS destroy. Some of the slides depict the future. How upbeat/bleak they are depends on your EMS.

I had EMS way over 5000, which i heard should be enough for the best possible ending. So what you say is that they just rebuilt the relays and the different species such as the krogan who were in my ending went back to Tuchanka and the others to their respective planets?

[AlanC9]

The characters we see back on their planets all have centuries of life ahead of them. They wouldn't even need relays to get home.

It's hard to tell where the quarians are in the slide. It looks like it could just as well be Illium, though that is on the other side of the galaxy from both the Perseus Veil and the Local Cluster.

I always assumed that the turians would be the ones to ferry the krogan back to Tuchanka, considering that at the end of the war, they do not have ships of any kind to do it themselves.

When Hacket says they can rebuild he didn't specify a time frame, so one must assume that the relays got rebuilt fairly quickly.

[LisuPL]

Since the Crucible is BIG AS **** and it was build very fast (in a haste, but still), then rebuilding of the Relays should have been also remotely as quick.

[KaiserShep]

I've only really assumed that the relays in the Local cluster, Annos Basin, Athena Nebula and possibly Apien Crest get rebuilt relatively quickly on a broader timescale, since it's possible that there may be enough on both ends to get the ball rolling. Total reconstruction of the relay network is a totally different story, as relays in uninhabited systems would be inaccessible for a very long time. No matter what, the relay network is going to be a lot smaller for a long time. Of course, this is not counting the untold number of dormant relays, but they're also likely far out of the way.

As for the damage inflicted upon each relay, there's no telling how greatly it varies. Did some totally blow apart, or did some merely lose the rings at their core? Can't say for sure. I suppose it's reasonable to assume that they all pretty much end up looking like that one we see the ships glide past, but who knows.

I headcanon that they were overloaded without destruction or damage and needed rebooting. The Charon relay is back up and running by the end of the month.

I headcanon that all the major relays that have been discovered and unlocked have been reactivated within a year.

Yeah, we snatched up that tech because the Asari laughed the blue off Aethyta's ass when she suggested building their own mass relays. We had all that manufacturing capacity hidden on .... uh.... asteroids. That's it. Asteroids that were floating around that the reapers didn't know about, because the reapers completely destroyed all of our manufacturing capacity immediately. Yet we used those .... uh.... what were they.. oh yeah, asteroid factories to build the Crucible. We had them all over the galaxy in each system so we could rebuild the relays when the Crucible fired and blew up the relays. The Council knew all about this and prepared. They were trolling Shepard.

I like to use this image from ME2 regarding my own head-canon about the relays.



The one relay we do see only seems to be damaged anywhere but the highlighted section in the image. I just imagine that all of the vital components are spared and operable, and the rest simply needs to be reassembled to reactivate the relay.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Mass Relay kits available from ACME.

[Michotic]

QEC's are still out there, so communication is possible. The repairs at this point are mostly headcanon, but I figured repairing the Relays would be a months-long endeavor. Total restoration would no doubt take years, if not longer.

That brings up an interesting thought or premise, races stuck in remote systems trying to escape the reaper war or in unimportant systems could change dramitically being seperated from "normal" galactic society for so long. Just to be clear, I'm referring to their culture, not evolutionary change.

EDIT: Well to be fair Julia, the MEU never completely made sense did it?

Just reattach the guidance module and orbital kinetic hypergate and you're good to go! 

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

You're right DS. It could have made more sense, though. I think what sucked me in was the fact that it was the first sci-fi RPG I played that wasn't based on a movie or whatever. It was new. And I got suckered into Casey's hype that this was MY character. Quite honestly I'd rather shoot stuff than run around with a sword. Granted the dialogue was bad in parts.... ya. And ME2 had no plot, but it allowed me to star in an Arnold movie - did I tell you I was in "Junior"? I was an extra. But ME2 allowed me to throw the bad guy out the window -- and that was big points and follow it with a cheesy one liner. It was an early 1990s action film. I played femShep and took all the Arnold lines and all the Arnold interrupts including the Tali hug.

And you're right about the separation. The ones that were separated. They'd eventually form new cultures.

I blew up the galaxy on 22 March 2012 at 0320 hrs.

You are good.

Regular FTL, much slower but you'll get to were your going eventually.

And thus the Bussard ramjet was perfected.

 If you have enough fuel and or if you can find a fuel station along the way that hasn't been completely destroyed.

[KaiserShep]

In some fantastical MEU-type of interstellar ramjet, fuel is no longer necessary, since the engines would be utilizing whatever the magnetic (mass effect?) field can scoop up rather than needing on-board reserves. The faster you go, the more effective it is!

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

And relativistic time dilation takes effect. If one approaches the speed of light say at .99c for example, those on board the ship could age for a couple of years, while those on Thessia could have their entire planet repaired and advanced to the next technological age and next generation by the time the grandparents arrive.

[cap and gown]

I doubt time dilation occurs if you are going FTL. If it did you would get YOUNGER!

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Interstellar Ramjet doesn't go FTL But I just saw the words "fantastical MEU"  so that means. No fuel required and FTL is available and no time dilation. So we're good.

The interstellar ramjet would only be for motive power. According to he codex, FTL requires both the eezo core and some form of propulsion.
