Through this array, the Initiative was able to get contemporary surveys of the Andromeda Galaxy allowing them to identify golden worlds that were ripe for colonization. | Observation of the Andromeda Galaxy for habitable worlds was difficult at first with this only capable of being done so with light with any data being 2.5 million years out of date.

History
The Andromeda Initiative was a project that was the brainchild of visionary billionaire Jien Garson in the 22nd century. After the First Contact War, Garson had a personal dream to prove mankind's capabilities beyond that of military power that was shown in that conflict. Official planning for the project began in 2172 where she announced an ambitious goal of launching a pioneering colonization mission to the Andromeda galaxy within twenty years. The Initiative faced man struggles but Garson amnaged to sustain it until the early 2180's when they received sudden investment and a new marketing strategy. An unknown benefactor began to work with Garson and Alec Ryder who came to believe the claims concerning the Reaper threat that had exterminated life in the Milky Way galaxy in 50,000 year intervals. As a result, the Initiative changed from a purely scientific and colonization measure to one of a last resort to preserving sentient life in the galaxy.
Observation of the Andromeda Galaxy for habitable worlds was difficult at first with this only capable of being done so with light with any data being 2.5 million years out of date. Initial attempts to identify possible settlement sites was obtained through Asari astronomical surveys with them being run through predictive models. However, Jien Garson was unwilling to risk thousands of colonists without any solid information. This changed when the Initiative managed to gain new information from Quarian explorers who had claimed to had found a Geth array on the fringes of the Perseus Veil. The array was seemingly built from three Mass Relays with it using sensors in the combined relay corridor as a type of FTL telescope to observe dark space beyond the galactic rim. Through this array, the Initiative was able to get contemporary surveys of the Andromeda Galaxy allowing them to identify golden worlds that were ripe for colonization.
Upon entering the Heleus Cluster, the Initiative forces encountered a massive dark matter phenomena that was known as the Scourge that dealt heavy damage to the fleet. The damage led to many members of the senior leadership being killed forcing new individuals to step into these roles. Among the damaged systems included hydroponics and the expedition could not find any habitable worlds to colonise leading to a stretch on their resources. This resulted in a new crisis forming with dissent emerging that sparked into open rebellion against the new leadership in an event known as the Nexus uprising. This work threatened the Nexus itself forcing the Initiative leaders to rely on the Krogan work crews who were asked to provide military support against the rebels that were led by Sloane Kelly who were offered political representation for their aid. The Krogan were successful in their task and the rebels were exiled from the Nexus but in time they also left the Nexus.
Among the great threats the expedition faced was a hostile alien race known as the Kett who were attempting to conquer the Heleus Cluster.
