Initial attempts to identify settlement sites were made by obtaining asari astronomical surveys and running them through predictive models. Observation is limited by light, and given Andromeda's distance, any observations from the Milky Way are 2.5 million years out of date–enough time for a planet to have altered irrevocably. “Charting the Andromeda Galaxy for habitable planets presents a unique challenge. Expenditures are known to have reached quintillions of credits. The Pathfinder and their team will be responsible for assessing and exploring any environment deemed necessary as the mission unfolds.Ī project as massive in scope as the Andromeda Initiative is extremely expensive. While the Andromeda Initiative's long-range scans have identified several potentially-habitable planets in the Heleus Cluster, the possibility of encountering harsh planetary conditions during the search for a suitable Golden world exists.
For the Hyperion the selected Pathfinder is Alec Ryder. Each Ark is assigned with its own Pathfinder, a mix of elite soldier, scientist, and guide who will be tasked with finding a new home. Four of the other five Arks each contain a different species most humans are aboard Ark Hyperion. Project founder Jien Garson travels in the Nexus, the main hub of the expedition. Six Ark ships have been constructed for this venture, equipped with cryostasis chambers for its members to sleep in during the 600-year-long journey. The Initiative’s ultimate goal is to establish a permanent presence on the seemingly resource-rich frontier of Andromeda and eventually create a reliable route between it and the Milky Way Galaxy. With powerful benefactors lending their support, the program has grown substantially in scope since its inception. Founded in 2176 and launched in 2185, the Andromeda Initiative is a civilian, multi-species project created to send scientists, explorers, and colonists on a one-way trip to settle in the Andromeda Galaxy.
