Reading the description of the Arrival DLC in Mass Effect 2, Dra. Amanda Kenson says that the reapers come to Bahak system, through the Mass Relay Alfa and travel throughout the Galaxy. The Rho object displays the imminent arrival of the reapers, but does not indicate where they come from.

 
Who believe from where they come from the Reapers?

It is explained multiple times throughout the story that they come from "dark space" - outside of the Milky Way in an area relatively devoid of stars.

Although it conflicts with the distance shown to the Milky Way at the end of ME2; realistically, most fans agree that they likely just sit relatively close to the plane of the galaxy instead of say 100,000 light years away. The reason for this is twofold - one: space is vast, and they would literally never, ever, ever be stumbled across by an unsuspecting species if they were even 1,000 light years outside of the Milky Way. Two: in the event that the Citadel gate failed, such as it did, it would take a relatively short time to travel to the Alpha relay if they were close to the Milky Way in dark space (and we know they travel about 30 Ly/day).

My only disappointment from Mass Effect is that we never had a chance to go to dark space.

Remind me Life of Brian scene, where Romans search the house, and they're all hiding behind furnitures... xD Most brillant hide & seek of the universe...

How much more boring could it get?

 

There's nothing there.

I wonder why they simply didn't hide where the Collectors did.

If the Collectors managed to remain in obscurity for that long, surely the Reapers could.

I wouldn't call 'knowing exactly which relay leads to them' obscure. Granted, no one ever went through the relay and survived before Super Shepard, but everyone who knew of the Collectors also knew how to reach them; just not how to do that and survive it.

 

Dark space is much more obscure. There's no reason for anyone ever to go visit dark space, because there's nothing there. No reason to explore.

Best Python movie there is. Holy Grail is tame by comparison.

Well the collectors have only been in the core for one circle and ..well Shepard did find a way to pay them a visit so dark space is the better option if you wanna have the reaper clubhouse of solitude.

We don't know that. Anything and everything could've been there, but we'll never find out now. Unless we travel there in the next installment. I trust BioWare can use their imaginations.

Since there is a relay in dark space for the reapers to use to get to the Citadel to start the cycle, I would imagine there is more.

 

This is my speculation. I believe they have giant space stations, similiar looking to what we see in Legion's loyalty mission, that the reapers use to go into sleep mode for 50 000 years. They're attached to an umbilical cord and the workers, ones from past civilizations turned into workers, repair and give the reapers a tune up after doing the harvest. The resources taken from the planets that are harvested are used to power the space stations.

Some good ideas - though i'm not sure there would be past civilizations turned into workers after all biological life takes a lot to keep going, it's more likely the facillities would be fully automated - perhaps a single reaper remains awake and make sure everything runs to plan - something like a dark space Soveriegn.(perhaps this awake reaper is also the one that communicate with Soveriegn and gets the signal that it's time to begin the harvest).

Should explain how they got the Reapers to The earth, if the Alpha Relay was destroyed. Furthermore, they do not sleep or rest, only control the distance races for your domain: The indoctrination.

They flew to the nearest relay at FTL speeds - it took a couple of months.

The catalyst says to Shepard, each cycle ends with the creation of a Reaper. Is estimated that traveling through the galaxy are collected materials for its construction. But only harvest the most advanced intelligent races, to make sure you come back for them.

 

My theory is that the Harbinger, that you previously indoctrinated a General Protean to turn it into General Collector, claims his station arrival of a new reaper, as a reward the success of the harvest.

 

The logic is that it was due to include some additional info about it, but I think we will have to wait to travel outside the galaxy. Jeje

They did explain it. The Reapers simply travelled via FTL to the nearest relay. It took six months. 30 light years/day * roughly 180 days = 5,400 light years. That's a very reasonable distance to a nearest relay, considering that a) we already know that primary relays can be separated by thousands of light years, and b ) the Alpha Relay is on an outer galactic arm.

Consider this- Sol and the Charon Relay are 36 light years away from Arcturus. Charon relay connects to Arcturus, enabling instantaneous travel. Arcturus is a hub system, with several relays. If the Charon relay were destroyed or rendered inoperable, would any nearby ships in Sol be permanently cut off from the relay network? No. All they would have to do is travel 36 light years to Arcturus and link up there.

That is essentially what the reapers did, except over a much greater distance.

An example of what is known. hopefully in the next release of ME4, you talk more about it and we can see more closely to the reapers.

I haven't heard about a Reaper station before, but maybe I just missed it. The picture used for it, though, is the Geth Heretic station from ME2, so I'm inclined to think it's more or less made up.

There was never any confirmation on where they were, but we know where they came from. 
We may require more information about the reapers and possibly ME4 can visit them, but today is only a theory.

I'm kinda hoping that ME4 has nothing to do with reapers but... We will see. It will have a Mako so that's okay.

Sporku, In as ends Mass Effect 3, we will have the reapers, if we destroy there will be no reapers.

But I think the whole story bioware hill and ended the history of both the Reapers and the Leviathans.

 

The Mako, allow you to make overland trips to other systems, but I want to find reaper base.  :lol:

Trust me, they are going to set up a situation in which the ending of ME3 is completely irrelevant. The "stranger in a strange land" concept, or some variation thereof, is the most obvious and natural course to take. But there are others. The main point is, this probably wont be a direct "sequel" in the traditional sense.

They've even said, repeatedly in fact, that they don't prefer one and they want the original trilogy to stand alone. And rightfully so. And yet, I suspect people will still be pissed when they finally do find out the plot of ME4.
