Shepard never made it to the Citadel at the end of Mass Effect 3. That laser vaporised from Harbinger him/her.
The explanation of the endings? Never happened. Not indoctrination theory. Not legend theory. Nope. Flat out did not happen.
"Retconned" so to speak.
You can't win every war. You can't beat every struggle. Sometimes defeat is inevitable.
The Reapers won. They harvested almost everything and a handful of people from the entire galaxy fled.
Of all the civilians across multiple space faring races in the Milky Way, only a few thousand survived the Reaper onslaught.
So less than 0.0000000000000000000001% of the Space Faring population actually survived.
These survivors go to Andromeda through some MacGuffin hopping that the Reapers don't follow.
By this time the Reapers have gone back to dark space, so their return is likely to be during the next cycle. Though there are still the odd Reaper ships patrolling the Milky Way Galaxy looking to wipe out any other survivors.
Maybe they'll return, however they will only be mentioned in Andromeda.
So this is a new start. A second chance for Mass Effect, to explore new horizons and leave the dreaded Reaper threat behind. Hopefully for good.
