Does anyone have any ideas and or theories as to what involvement the Alliance could have? Other than scientific curiosity of course.

My theory is that they wanted to send a scout to Andromeda to explore the possibility of colonization in case the war with the Reapers turned into a no-win situation. The Alliance was getting their butts kicked from the beginning, and barely holding it together throughout the campaign. I can see why a type of "failsafe" plan for humanity would come to the table.

Some Prothean's cryoed themselves to save their race... to bad that it did not work.

Anyway, that is just my theory. What is yours?

Honestly, I really hope that we aren't tied to the Alliance again. If they absolutely MUST be in involved, Codex. That or the N7 in the trailer is just a rogue that left them. "Oh yea, I used to be part of the Alliance." *Codex entry added* Done.

[SpaceOutlaw3000]

I'm kinda getting the feeling that they are occupying it for resources. Maybe they aren't welcomed there by the groups already in Andromeda. I'm getting this Iraq war feeling

[Kabooooom]

Honestly, every indication that we have so far (which isn't much) is that the op is correct. I would be surprised if that isn't the case. It is simple, predictable, and probably the direction Bioware will go.

Maybe there is no Alliance or other factions in your group of colonists, they all serve the divine emperor, you! You are there to conquer the galaxy, and they are extatic at the prospect of getting their own planets to manage! one for each family of collonists, there are lots of natives in Andromeda after all, for them to manage!


Seriously, I Think we will have to wait and see, but the traditional governments from the Milkyway won't exist since we arn
t connected with them any longer. Traditions might endure and some people might have been picked by those governments on account of their merits.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

My idea is that after the Reaper War the galaxy launched an intergalactic mission for *insert reason here* by *insert method here*. Since the Alliance represents humanity, they had a big part in this project. 

[Metalfros]

The already wasted a big chance by again introducing a human protagonist, but Alliance would be the tip of the iceberg... I just hope we aren't tied to any big business, military or science organization, let's be some kind of space pirate.

I can't see that working in this setting, maybe a few hundred years into the future of the Andromeda galaxy when you got dissilusioned people and fortuneseekers and rebells and other types of extremist freethinkers who arn't happy with a happy thriving galaxy and wants something different. Where they themselves become more imporant.

I guess it would be possible for them to add pirating missions where we "Pirate" supply transports of our "enemy", thereby weakening them and adding supplies to our own cause.
There could be a few singleplayer missions like this, and Multiplayer. That would be more like a supply raid though, capturing raw materials and Eezo and stuff like that. 3D printer materials.'

Privateers and Maquees were a thing in the past, capturing ships and cargo of enemy nations. It would be one way to help grow your fleet in Andromeda with fewer Resources and infrastructure required.

I could deffinately see them needing to replace ships and grow their assets.

[Chardonney]

Well, I for one wouldn't mind having Alliance soldiers around, even if the protagonist isn't part of them. Maybe as a small security force in the ship or something like that. Wouldn't even mind if the protagonist was a part of the Alliance herself, maybe a scientist, a low ranking soldier, etc. A step down from being N7. Especially if the ship launches during ME3 (which I personally see happening and would prefer). I would loath to be a somekind of pirate.

On topic: I think we will get plenty of background references to the original trilogy, but other than that they might begin with as much a clean slate as possible.

Not a fan of her, either. Sorry.

[EmissaryofLies]

I hope that we can destroy them if they must be involved, or that they get the ME3 Cerberus treatment.

If this kind of thing is put in, I really hope on some kind of reputation system. Then I don't mean the lame paragon-renegade thing, but something that really changes the view people have on you throughout the game.

I think that will probably prove correct, though I'm guessing the colonization project would be a Council effort rather than a strictly Alliance one. 

[N7Jamaican]

Exploration, Research, Knowledge and Military Ops.  Can't send an exploration team alone on an uncharted planet, could be trouble...

I doubt the Alliance of the Milky Way will matter as much in Andromeda unless they plan on going back. I think that maybe there will be a new alliance between races. I think it should be pretty well known in the Mass Effect universe that the council knew the reapers were coming and did nothing about it so I doubt if there are more than 5 races that they will be happy with the old hierarchy. Just my opinion of course but I think they are going to Andromeda to stay, to settle. I don't think they were looking back when they left.

 

As to the protheans, surely they aren't dead any more. I think it was in ME1 where we saw all the 'tombs' of the Protheans that were 'cryoed', dna. In ME2 Shepard was brought back to life, showing how far science had advanced. In ME3 a live specimen, Javik, made his appearance. So I wouldn't be surprise if Protheans appear in Andromeda.

[LordSwagley]

I can just see abunch of Humans, and Turians, and Salarians, and blah; arguing about their species interests and government in Andromeda. Then the Hero playing Arbiter and telling them all the the Alliance, Hierchy, Union, and blah, do not matter anymore and that they are all in this together now. Sort of like when Cullen, Josie, Cass, and Leliana bicker and the Herald shuts them up. Time for Andromeda Spacequisition Jesus I guess...

[N7Jamaican]

I don't think we will have EVERY Milky Way speices... Don't think we'll see Quarians, or Geth.  Krogan have been confirmed, as well as Salarian. ANd we know humans are too.

[S.W.]

The Alliance has been established as a big-scale coloniser with interests in conquest and expanding territory so I would doubt they would be uninvolved in any plan to leave the galaxy. I mean, what other human organisation is going to manage that? Cerberus jumped off the deep end in ME3. No other group has been given much limelight - I can't think of any other human political group asides from Terra Firma, really.

 

I think that will probably prove correct, though I'm guessing the colonization project would be a Council effort rather than a strictly Alliance one. 

 

Given how Shepard spent most of ME3 unifying the races in order to fight the reapers - and made a point of bringing people together, too - it seems likely the other races will also be involved in the backup plan to escape the reapers. There's little point in exclusively planning your escape from mutual doom now you're trapped in this all together.

 

Also, if it was an Alliance-exclusive project there would likely be few, if any, turians, salarians, asari, quarians, and krogan in ME:4. Which would pisss a tonne of people off.

If I remember correctly, when they asked everyone what few races people wouldn't mind getting rid of, I think the Quarians were kind of up there on the list. As in, people wanted to ditch them. And because of the Quarian-Geth dichotomy, if one goes they probably both will to avoid canonizing any choices.

So I wouldn't be surprised if you are correct.

Quarians had a good backstory in my opinion.  A very close-knit nomadic group wandering the galaxy trying to reclaim their home world.  I love Tali. But as a whole, aside from their story, I don't like them.  They've unleashed the Geth on the galaxy and I am glad that it reflects that in the game with their discrimination.

 

I just got tired of the Quarians "I know you have your problems, but O WOE IS ME."  Ditch them, and if you ditch the Quarians, more than likely Geth will get ditched with them.

 

I also hope not to see:

Vorcha

Hanar

Drell

 

I like the religious aspects of the Drell culture, that is all I like about that, oh and the Drell Adept in ME3MP

I don't even see how they could include the geth without making a specific Rannoch outcome canon. Quarians are easier because they're already established and it wouldn't be a stretch if the sent a few people on the Andromeda mission.

[caradoc2000]

If the ark departs before the events in ME3, we could easily have geth onboard. Not that I condone this, I just point out the possibility for any of the original races.

 

Edit: and a like for the adorable avatar.

Oh no, you don't. Alliance will be founder of ARKON, which later will be generously proposed to lesser species. I bet Cerberus will also be involved, would be an awesome plotwist. Hail humanity!

The thing is that orthodox geth didn't interact with Council races before Rannoch, the only exception is Shepard.

[Patchwork]

If MEA is a trilogy I'd rather the MW's style of government and military institutions get tossed aside at the end of game 1 and we have something more suited to their circumstances in game 2.
