What in the quadruple swinging nads of a Krogan are the Khet?
Did I miss something? Or is the forum doing its typical jumping the gun - taking unconfirmed 'rumours, leaks and speculation' and running with it like it's gospel?
I know it's done with the intention of creating discussion while we're waiting, but god damn it's hard to keep up when you only pop in once in a while.
Khet Homeworld

Dude they're an organic species. We know that much.How about the Khet simply being a more advanced/evolved gestalt intelligence than we have encountered before with the Geth, especially if the Geth have effectively been retired from the series.
Perhaps the Khet surpassed the Geth long ago and hence no longer require networking for sentience but quite to the contrary some of their more increasingly advanced constructs require more processing capability than is physically possible from their own (local) hardware.
There may be a spectrum of intelligence from feral recon drones to self-aware constructs with defined personalities, although even individual constructs are merely components of a wider gestalt intellect called Khet which like Harbinger could assume any form.

Their rumored homeworld doesn't look very organic to me. Regardless of who-ever it ultimately belongs to I am pretty sure there will be AI-based synthetic species in Andromeda as they make good villains. We could get a Zha'til type species which would be interesting.
I just know that this Khet leader; if he or she is going to be the main villain; better be a nuanced and compelling villain. Not some mind controlled crazy person, or someone that is just in it for the 'evilolz' and is a one dimensional morally black antagonist that the player can have no issues with killing.
It would also be nice to see a villain that could potentially fight with the Milky Way refugees because of something more than: "I don't like them, those humans are more special snowflake-y than me!"
How are those giant structures making any sense?... Even with element zero it boggles the mind do to the amount of power and Eezo required to keep these things afloat.

They don't look like they are floating - they look like the ceiling of a cavern.
Caverns can have ceiling already roughly shaped like that.

Well, the scale is very ambiguous, to me it looked like giant arcologies or something.
I suppose it could be underground, and maybe the scale is supposed to be smaller than it looks.
sorry we already had the geth.Their rumored homeworld doesn't look very organic to me. Regardless of who-ever it ultimately belongs to I am pretty sure there will be AI-based synthetic species in Andromeda as they make good villains. We could get a Zha'til type species which would be interesting.
True we have already seen the geth, that doesn't nessicate that the milky way would be the only galaxy with hyper intelligent ai let alone life as is. I agree on the possibility of having another ai race if not two(assuming the geth accompany the ark).sorry we already had the geth.
Organic life in Andromeda will have to have survived their synthetic creations which has never been done in the history of the Milky Way. Without Reaper cycles the Synthetic life will be so advanced I have a hard time believing that we will find any surviving organic life and all we will find are remnants and ruins they left behind. Any intelligent life is likely to be partly or wholly synthetic.
I find that doubtful since it seems highly unlikely that the development of all artificial creations would always result in the confirmation of the Frankenstein complex especially given what mindsets different cultures and societies can develop.
Additionally, the Geth did not wipe out the Quarians following the Morning War and allowed them to leave unpursued during the evacuation of Rannoch as far as I know. The geth that followed Sovereign were in the minority as the majorith of the geth that were approached rejected the offer, I do believe. Depending on what actions are taken, the Geth and the Quarians can ultimately make peace with each other and resettle the homeworld of Rannoch together thereby further challenging the idea that the creations will somehow always destroy the creators.
okay another AI race would be okay. As long as it's not the khet.True we have already seen the geth, that doesn't nessicate that the milky way would be the only galaxy with hyper intelligent ai let alone life as is. I agree on the possibility of having another ai race if not two(assuming the geth accompany the ark).
Actually, I think you missed some geth type of structures over towards the right bottom. Obviously, they can't geth, but look remotely like geth armatures.
I think it was BioFan or Hrunger that found it. S'an amazing picture.
Maybe they are silicon based instead of carbon.
Hey guys. 
I love it here already 
You're all so great x
I don't remember a race called the Khet??? Was it in one of the DLCs? Or is it a new race? Am I being silly? I've seen the Andromeda trailer, but there was no mention of Khet x

BURN THE WITCH! No but the khet are going by everything we know so far the new rude crude dudes on the scene who don't need no milky way species.
In other words, we haven't seen them before and are completely shrouded in mystery.
Oh okay. Thank you. I was worried I had said something wrong then! x

I would really like to avoid a new AI specie, I'm a bit tired to see that old concept everywhere and ME already had the geths.
I would love to see new original ideas for MEA's story and to avoid old clichés as much as possible.

That's like saying bi-pedal humanoids are an overused trope so we don't need anymore. Synthetic based lifeforms are part of the continuum of the spectrum of life. We've seen 1 major example of a non-organic race in about 10 years. They're not all the same you know. If BioWare are true to their word about honoring choices and there are no Geth refugees then there will be precisely none.
Going by BioWare's own logic there shouldn't be any organic life left in Andromeda without Reaper cycles so there's likely to be at least some synthetic life out there.
OT: EDI & the Geth drove me crazy in ME3: No self respecting AI-race should ever have a Pinocchio complex. It's highly likely no Synthetic race would ever aspire to experience alien hardware effects. Under certain circumstances I suppose emotion might well be a natural evolution of the mind for AI as it evolves. But just because organics seemingly require bio-chemistry for emotion does not mean synthetic beings would never ever develop true emotion without it or that their emotion would be any less real or valid than ours. The idea that an AI couldn't experience fear of death is preposterous. AI & aspirations and emotions are still big questions I would like to see them continue to explore in new ways with a bunch of very different synthetic species.

I don't deny the synthetics to be a life form, I liked the geths and supported them for example, I'm just tired of the concept that's all.
I don't know but the treatment is mainly the same everywhere. I rarely say "oh good ! something super new I never heard about before !" when I read scifi books, movies, tv shows those days .... if BW want to bring back the synthetics, ok then, but something really original this time, no synthetics versus organics, no revolution, no brainless army of robots, etc... and other clichés.
Just my opinion !

I agree on not having organics vs synthetics or the nature of life returning as a major theme. The treatment of synthetic races should be no different to that of organic races. We only have 1 major example so far in the series so there is some good potential for more variety depending on how they approach it... no body wants 3 or more carbon-copies of the Geth. I think the races in Andromeda are likely to be more advanced and the most advanced races are likely to be at least partially synthetic.

Then we agree on almost everything 
Now it's all on the writters hands.... *cross my fingers*.
