It could be right right before the Reapers arrive, though. The Alliance had some warning of the Reapers' approach in the ME3 prologue.
500 Bio points says that what we're looking at is the emergency launch of the Ark just before the Reapers start blowing up stuff.
But that leads to a ton of issues that have been brought up in other threads by multiple people.
They could be trying to get away from the Leviathans since they felt the galaxy was rightfully theirs to rule especially with the reapers out of the way
Levithians were incredibly powerful they could easily destroy a reaper. Though if the Levithians were so advanced, wouldn't they have colonized other galaxies as well?
It just seems weird to be escaping something that could potentially be on the other side as well. Also after the reaper wars I'm sure they would consider not enslaving every other species again.
Yeah, noticed that. I thought maybe there were still three Arks just not showing all of them again because it's assumed?
OR better yet, something did happen and what you have are survivors of the trip. I mean, it should be a dangerous trip.
Could be, because I still think that we do leave sometime before Earth gets attacked. So many the other Arks get hit by the Reapers and we managed to get away

The Galactic governments were in denial about the Reapers up until the time they actually showed up. ME 2 starts only a year before ME 3 and we all remember the "ah yes reapers" speech we got from our favorite councilor. I doubt the council or the alliance was willing to make that kind of investment especially when they didn't even believe in the reapers.

Enough warning to build 3 (at least) massive ships, bring the salarians, asari and krogan (at least) on board with the project.
Not to mention develop an entirely new form of ftl travel?

They should declare the Leviathan DLC non-canon.
Post-reconstruction would be very interesting to see.
It would. If we see it.
You know, this might be before Reaper War. Otherwise, wouldn't even the crew, ship personnel, etc be possibly affected by Shep's choice aka "Shepard's Folly". 
Srsly, we would have to leave before the Reapers, because what about Synthesis?
Even if they could quarantine off any outside environments from the MW in the beginning of the game. There's still the people that would be affected.
So, I'm beginning to think that we leave before the Reaper War, although we probably know they're coming. Maybe we've been working towards this expedition for some time now--for discovery's sake, but the knowledge of the Reapers coming accelerates the process and pushed up the time table.

A theory I've seen somewhere says that the colonization ship might have been a previous Council project to explore new galaxies or space sectors with no relay access that was hastily repurposed once the attitudes started to change.
The Galactic governments were in denial about the Reapers up until the time they actually showed up. ME 2 starts only a year before ME 3 and we all remember the "ah yes reapers" speech we got from our favorite councilor. I doubt the council or the alliance was willing to make that kind of investment especially when they didn't even believe in the reapers.
We like to remember the "Ah, yes, Reapers" moment, but afterwards the Collectors and their defeat happened, the Batarian relay incident happened (if it wasn't Shepard, the Alliance sent marines, so that means that other people were aware of the danger) and Shepard was arrested for six months, probably with some interrogation (more information for the higher-ups). The Turians, always the pragmatists, turned Garrus into their official Reaper expert and prepared a strategy in case of Reaper attack which wasn't half-bad.
The galaxy at the beginning of ME3 was different from the galaxy in ME2. The aforementioned six-month arrest provides Bioware a window of opportunity to justify how and why the galactic higher-ups managed to make up a plan B without Shepard knowing it or expecting them to have one.

But that's one guy on the Council. It's also assuming this whole thing is an Alliance or Council project. It could also be a private venture that started some time ago. There are other stories and motivations. You see what these Corps can do and get away with on Noveria i ME1. There are more like them on Ilium.
I feel like we're trying to tie it to the Reapers, but it may be more peripheral. The coming of the Reapers impacted the time line of the ARK project, but the Reapers were not the initial motivation for the project. As time went on, however, the ARK could be made to serve a two-fold purpose.

so there was an interview a minute ago an E3 that confirm that the Girl on the end of the trailer is the new protagonist female default.

Process of elimination mixed with a little desperation
Its confirmed that she is the PC.

The way they introduced her had my gut screaming PC
She has a bi*ch voice tbh. Every girl I've ever known with that voice has been a catty, no-good, popularity queen. And I absolutely hated them.
I hope they have a variety of Ryder's in the future.

a long time ago i would have theorised that the leviathans were part of the actual game and were supposed to have had a greater impact on the original storyline (karpyshyn claims to have never fleshed out that storyline yet throws it under the bus like any "yes man" would, stating that his original ending could have been more horrible that what we got.)
i figured they were supposed to be directly involved in utilising the dark energy or whatever in order to have defeated the reapers, since after all they seem to have preceded the reapers. but nah they were cut out and replaced with the starbrat and they only gave us spaceballs in the DLC to use. the Leviathans = potential lost for completely different endings that may or may not have provided easier transitions into ME:A

Maybe they'll have two VAs for each sex, like they did in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Not sure that will be necessary here. DA was trying to account for four different races. We are human no matter what here. I think it will be one VA for each gender like normal.

Yeah, I think so too. It'll be some treat if they do offer more voices.

You're right. Bioware hates options according to everything about this game.
This could be the very first time my canon char is female.Its confirmed that she is the PC.

Where are you getting this from?
Where are you getting this from?
Lack of voice options.
Lack of race options.
Lack of background options.
We're practically predefined characters at this point.
