Undoubtedly inspired by Garrus, I've seen a lot of people ask for a female turian companion in ME:A.

 

So why not the guy's little sister herself? She's been mentioned occasionally, and an in-game appearance would not be amiss.

 

With the token task force, Garrus' father clearly had connections in the Hierarchy, and he believed in the Reaper threat. Forced to come up with a 'Plan B' if Garrus failed, he sent Solana on the constructed Ark to continue the Vakarian bloodline, to ensure that future Commanders would have future turian bros.

 

Plus, we need another 'thoughts' thread.

Not likely to happen, unless they retcon her location at the time of ME3.  The Andromeda mission appears to have been sent out sometime before ME3.  Solanna was still with Garrus's dad midway through ME3, so she could not have been part of the Andromeda mission.  Only way this is possible is if there were more than one ark ship sent out, and she was on one of those that was sent out post-ME3 due to sparse remaining resources.  And we know that can't be so because of the three vastly different endings.

Did I miss a press release?

No, you haven't. Bioware has not revealed anything about the trip to Andromeda.

It's my guess, at any rate.  It can't have been post-ME3, because the ending would be too variable and they'd have to account for it.  And, they are wanting to leave Shepard and knowledge thereof out of the story.

 

Chances are that the Andromeda mission was sent out while Shepard was imprisoned.  It's unlikely that it was sent out mid-ME3, when we hear from Garrus's father and sister.

 

It's possible to get people organized enough to send out a big ship in the middle of a war, but it seems like it would have had a better chance of success as a hastily arranged departure prior to the full-blown invasion, since otherwise the ship would likely have been destroyed.

 

Either way it's severely unlikely you'll ever meet Solanna.  Doesn't mean there won't be a lady turian or that she won't be a romantic interest.

Bioware has stated nothing of the sort.

[LisuPL]

This is unlikely, as it still would create an in-direct connection to the ME3 story.

From Solana Vakarian you are just one step away from starting to have mentions about Garrus Vakarian and from that point you have an open window to start mentioning the whole events of ME1-3, so... no this is very unlikely as I said.

 

But I'm entirely convinced there will be a female turian on-board, the fan-art for female turians seems to be quite active and since BioWare does survey the net for fans interests = it's quite obvious they will tend to fans wishes and introduce a romancable female turian, maybe even she will be an active squad member (I think that would be great addition to team diversity).

 

But to do so they don't need Solana Vakarian, they can just introduce a totally new character without connecting the story to the previous games.

So you think they're going to have three different versions of everyone?   The Synthesis ending caused some really weird changes to basically everyone ever.  I think the Andromeda characters won't even know if the Milky Way succeeded against the Reapers.  In fact their existence basically suggests that someone thought the war was already a lost cause.

 

This is fan theory only, of course.  Andromeda could take place so far in the future that what we chose in the end of ME3 just doesn't matter at all.  But in that case, Solana still won't be there (she'd be dead).

 

I would kind of like to have met Solana in person, myself.  But, I think, considering the probability she didn't get on the ark ship, and considering this is a brand new series, we probably won't.  They're probably not going to want anyone tied directly in with the ME3 cast.

 

My two cents.

[shodiswe]

1. she's a refugee that leave the turian homeworld late during the game.

2. She has a serious Health condition that's hard to fix and expensive to medicate.

3. None of which makes her a good pick for going to Another Galaxy with lacking infrastructure and resources.

I think a better course is to homogenize the endings rather than abandon them and the rest of the MEU. It's surprisingly easy to do, especially since we'll be in a different galaxy so most of the differences won't even show up.

I doubt Solana will show up. Unless she shows up as a minor NPC who is a middle-aged or elderly woman if this sojourn happens decades after the war(and we use stasis pods on the journey and/or use immediate transportation like a wormhole or Relay/Relay equivalent).

Re: 3.  Pretty sure it was Garrus's mother, not his sister, who was sick.  His sister sustained an injury on Palaven.  A broken leg or something, I think.  Last we heard from them, both she and Garrus's father were okay, but we never heard anything more about it past about mid-game.  As far as we can tell, Garrus's sick mother is now dead, because we never hear anything else about her after the Lair of the Shadowbroker DLC.

Anyone from the original trilogy is likely long dead by the time of MEA anyway.

Aside from Liara... maybe...

It would be nice if they'd just pick an ending, but I think we're going to see them entirely avoid the ending/dealing with Shepard's choices at all by saying a ship (or multiple ships) filled with people of various races was sent out due to the expectation that the Reapers would win.  We're probably going to be playing a game where everyone fully believes that the Milky Way has been wiped clean by Reapers and there's no reason to go home.  Andromeda is now home to these people.

 

Again, this is my guess.  I have no verification from BioWare on this.

 

Either way I do not expect to see Solana, or anyone else at all who is in any way tied to the previous games.  If they are the connection will be tenuous at best.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Aside from Liara... maybe...

Or any member of the asari or krogan since the asari can live for a millennium and krogan even longer. Or any synthetic since they are ageless.

Nah for a turian I would like Capt. Vidinos!

The life expectancy of a human in the mass effect universe is 150 years in ME1, with the potential to expand even more with future medical developments. Miranda tells Shepard in ME2 that her life expentancy is doubled thanks to its genetic "improvements" (with means 300 years).

 

Bioware didn't say how far in the future ME:A will play, but there are many opportunities in a SiFi setting to explain unexpected camoeo appearances. However it would be odd and forced if too many individuals with connections to known Characters from ME1-3 will appear in ME:A.

[Kierro Ren]

My assumption is ME:A is set after the events of ME3. The Reaper war destroyed the Milky Way, it'd take millions of credits to repair everything, credits most don't have. The war showed everyone, despite their history, can work together (Take notes IRL Earthlings) So Humans, Turians, Salarians, Quarians, Krogan etc etc. Built the ark and are now travelling to the Andromeda Galaxy. The MW races need new homes, which is your job. (Don't quote me) I've read multiple claims, the real Andromeda galaxy is said to be 2 million light years away, others say it's 280,000,000 light years away. Regardless it'd take at least 100 years to 27mil years, depending on which info you're using (Possible wormhole, which case instant to a week idk). So it's unlikely we'll see oldies, especially Garrus, Tali, Jac, Joker, definitely Zaeed, and everyone else. Because they'd be dead from old age (except Liara and Wrex). 

 

However, if wormholes are possible, and will be our way to Andromeda. Then we could see Solana, Garrus's dad, one of Wrex and Bakara's, sons or daughters. But main characters, no. Idk just my two cents.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Andromeda is 2,538,000 light years away. Just to help clarify that for you.

I did say don't quote me, because it wasn't my words but multiple scientist claims. I'm no science major. Don't get me wrong though, I'm grateful for your correction.

It's fine. I just wanted to help by saying the actual distance.

You're welcome.

BW I believe has said they will not canonize any ending which means the only way to respect that is to leave the MW before the end of the trilogy.

How exactly they do that we don't know but I think it's safe to say it will be before.

As for his sister showing up it would have to be as others said, retcon or they leave just before the ending.

I've heard BW suggest that we might see some cameos bit I really don't see how that's possible considering what it means if they can.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Not true. There are ways it can take place after the endings without canonizing an ending.

What do you mean by "considering what it means if they can"?
