So I am curious...How will we get around Andromeda ?

 

Getting to Andromeda is something that can be done by using wormholes or a ship filled with stasis pods. That is certainly possible, especially the latter. A large ark-like ship filled with most of the species certainly makes more sense than say, Project Lazarus did. 

 

Given that this happened sometime during the Reaper War, it most probably took place after the fall of Thessia when things looked really bleak and the Asari and Salarians, who were the only two other species with sufficient resources left, could have done something. 

 

So a select few people from a list of races in Milky Way got into a large ship filled with stasis pods and undertook the journey to Andromeda which took a few centuries, at the very least. 

 

Here is a concept art that makes for a strong case for a large ark-esque ship filled with stasis pods.

However, my query is what happens after we reach Andromeda ? How will we travel around there ?

 

For now, we don't know if there are any Mass Relays in Andromeda. We don't even know if there is Element Zero in Andromeda. Perhaps there might be other elements or minerals that we can use. 

 

What's more, Andromeda is far larger, far denser and brighter than the Milky Way. It is quite a big galaxy. https://en.wikipedia...ndromeda_Galaxy

 

So any theories on how will we travel around Andromeda ? Or will it be a "Space Magic" handwave ? Or will we use hyperdrive rings ? Or will we use an all new element ?  

 

Then there is an even bigger issue and that is this :- Who's to say no one else has not tried this before ? By this I mean species from previous cycles of extinction in the Milky Way. Who's to say that perhaps the Inusannon did not try to ship some of their people off to Andromeda as well ? We cannot be the first cycle to come up with this idea and execute it. There must have been some other species, long before us that did as well.

We'll fly, same as always. With the absence of mass relays I'm not quite sure how to cover that amount of distance, but we're gonna be in one cluster anyway.

How would there not be eezo in Andromeda?

 

Andromeda is a different galaxy. For all we know, there could be Eezo there. However, was it being used for anything ? Or not ?

One cluster. Okay, but Andromeda galaxy is far bigger than the Milky Way galaxy. I believe the estimation is that Andromeda is twice the size of Milky Way. One cluster is a large amount of space. You will need fuel, time and more importantly space cartographers since this is an all new galaxy. 

 

We don't know if Mass Relays exist or not, most probably they don't. 

 

We don't know if Eezo is being used for anything or not. It appears that Eezo is a naturally occurring element in the Mass Effect universe but whether it is used extensively by Andromedans or not is something else entirely.
