Straighten it out Hyperion. Which is it.

I'm betting on number 2 myself...

Pff, Dadryder realize that he forgotten to turn off the stove so we needed to go back to check, turns out that he had forgotten that he had sold the house.

Stuff like that happens.

And Dadryder left the pathfinders to take revenge on them for destroying the fence he had built.

It all make sense!!

I'm betting it's number 2. I think the Hyperion leaves just a fraction later than the other Arcs and it amounts to a few decades difference by the time they arrive. It's the only reason I could think of as to why there are already settlements and stuff when you're exploring planets.

Oh snap... I didn't know we arrived later. I thought it was just the whole, we arrived and couldn't contact everyone else because of the interference or whatever from our designated planet.

Link to where this info is please?



(we probably arrived late because we were trying to get our vessels outfitted properly before we went to an unknown galaxy and finally they had to say fuck it and just go otherwise they'd end up getting there 100s and 100s of years after the others. )

Ah, I see. I only played ME3 and I never picked up on that. Well, darn. There goes my theory.

Actually the settlement thing is easy to understand, first off remember we aren't the only space faring race in the galaxy itself so there are bound to be some structures up already or ones left abandoned for one reason or another. Second prefab structures are very quick to put up, even today some cities can build entire complexes for housing within a very short amount of time.

How about...something goes wrong aboard the Arc, causing it to get lost and meet the enemy?  They then arrive late.

Here it is:


Interesting conclusion.
However if this is the actual event then how long does it take for the Hyperion Ark to make contact with the Nexus and other Arks after its awakening and being lost?
Sure would be hard waking up lost and no map to the other Arks and Nexus (since more than likely than not Father Ryder had the map).

For it seems like many of the other species from the milky way have settled down already or at least got some semblance of a society going on.
Even that one hub planet said that people there were kicked off the Nexus and it looks like more than just built out of prefab shelters.

I'm thinking (based on not much) either this, or that the Hyperion winds up in the wrong system in the Helius Cluster due to some error/malfunction/incident.
