Aren't the Terminus Systems not in the Milky Way?
Terminus surely refers to proximity to the milky way "spiral". If you are on the outer spiral you would be on the "terminal end" of the galaxy, hence terminus.

If you're referring to the possibility of the Large Hadron Collider creating a mini-black hole, there is no danger. Even if it did, the black hole would not be powerful enough to destroy earth of even the collider which formed itDethateer wrote...

Actually a certain dwarf galaxy is colliding with Milky Way right now. From what I've heard at least.
A dark matter dwarf galaxy apparently. No worries from scientists apparently, Then I again I wouldn't trust scientists, they are more likely to get hyped up by a black hole appearing on Earth then get scared
If that happened, what the scientists would think would be the least of your worries, seeing as how you'll be shredded and absorbed along with everyone else and the planet itself into the black hole. And besides that, whatever might happen in Mass Effect, singularities don't just appear.
Every galaxy is a "Dark Matter Galaxy," because visible matter makes up like about 4% of the universe. About 70% is Dark energy, and about 25-29% is dark matter.Dethateer wrote...

Dethateer : The point was that in the event of a catastrophe I think that scientists would be the last to worry about it.
If we're really colliding with a dark matter galaxy, there's exactly jack s**t we can do about it. We might as well study it instead of running around in little circles, waving our arms and shouting.
I don't think that is the case. Plan A: activate the Citadel relay. Plan B: have the Collectors create a Human Reaper and...do something with it. Plan C: wake up the rest of the Reapers and have them "manually" maneuver towards the galaxy.vhatever wrote...
If you bothered to read my posts on the theories of the reapers, it's pretty obvious. Repears are not "dormant" when they are in darkspace-- they are going to other galaxies, but they need to set up warps to get between the galaxies. Then they can rapidly return when the time is right. Same reason they need to turn on the warp to get back into the milky way.
If they were just off in deepspace catching some ZzZZzzs, sovereign would have just put in a wakeup call.
If it were possible for the Reapers to even achieve intergalactic flight, then I doubt they'd just give up on the Milky Way.Canned Bullets wrote...

So if we stop the Reapers wouldn't that mean they would just go to another Galxy and continue their cycle?

That's a tad too far fetched for me.D.I.Y_Death wrote...
This topic plays into my theory on more ME games.
The Reapers are massively advanced in terms of technology and are floating so far out in hibernation you can see them approaching the spiral disc of the galaxy.
Now if the Reapers are so advanced that they can fly out of the galaxy, build massively FTL transportation and present a major threat to pretty much anything that has ever lived why would they put all their eggs in one basket? That's not very machine-like.
Thus I think at the end of ME3 we'll discover a new Mass Relay which will connect to another galaxy, most likely near by a Reaper base or out in the void that they were hibernating in.
And there spawns a franchise that reminds me of all the cool parts of Stargate with significantly less cheese.

As for putting all their eggs in one basket: the Reapers aren't perfect. Based on my observations on my conversation with Sovereign, it's entirely likely that the Reaper's arrogance is their fatal flaw. Also, if they are so farsighted, shouldn't they have ANOTHER relay that can bring them out of dark space like the Citadel can? Maybe located in the galactic core like the Collector base? The thing is, they don't. They're out of options.

Why does anyone care about other galaxies? I really don't understand why this keeps coming up. The Milky Way is large enough for this story.
The Reapers are no doubt intelligent. And as we've seen with the abducted humans, they are looking for subjects that they can make they're own. But the lack of alternatives to the "Citadel plan" and the "Human-Reaper plan" makes them seem quite short-sighted. I didn't say they should have made another Citadel. I said they should have made another relay that could bring them back from dark space. One that would be safely tucked away near in the galactic core.D.I.Y_Death wrote...
I wouldn't call the Reapers arrogant, they didn't expect mankind to be diverse and resourceful enough to flip the bird to the galaxy and take care of the reapers on their own.
As for the Citadel why would they build more then one? They were obviously relying on galactic beurocracy to bring the most important people from the galaxy into one area and having two Citadels would have created something akin to the cold war and divide the galactic power in half, reducing their efficency.
To further that they had contigency plans set up in case something went wrong. Sovergn and the Collectors were the back ups and judging from the end of the game Reapers aren't so far out that it'll take a decade to get back into the Galaxy.
From what we've seen the Reapers have some sort of master plan requiring organic beings to be culled but not totally eliminated from the galaxy with also furthers that point.
The Reapers are highly intelligent and calculative but even a machine can't predict everything, thus it makes sense for the machine to realize this and cultivate multiple options to prevent the extinction of their race in a worst case scenario.
The galaxy is nowhere near being completely explored. Their are billions of stars and star systems in the Milky Way galaxy. The only places that have been explored are those adjacent to the mass relays. Everywhere else remains unmapped. So in latter games, Bioware could either expand on existing systems and planets or add access to newly discovered relays.D.I.Y_Death wrote...

Because the galaxy is completely explored minus a few obscure planets and ruins that exist for the mining mini game. If the series continues after ME3 they'll need to expand their canvas accordingly.
No, it's not completely explored. The contemporary species have explored an estimated 1% of the Milky Way.D.I.Y_Death wrote...

Why not, considering there are about hundred billion galaxies out there...Canned Bullets wrote...
Alright, so if we discover intergalactic travel we'll find something worse than the reapers?
