A new initiative briefing is up on the official site;

What we learn!

- Avina is back! We can ask her questions at terminals on the Nexus
- 20,000 humans are on the Hyperion



- The Nexus/Arks use an ODSY drive system (geddit? Odyssey)



Nexus leadership details!


Female krogan engineer you guys!

- Our stasis pods have mass effect shields around them
- The Nexus will undergo further construction when we arrive in the Helius cluster
- Arks will provide additional power and storage to the Nexus
- We get a little peek at Ryder's casuals and her quarters on the Nexus (though its implied these quarters are temporary). She's wearing white pants and a grey and blue jacket. I see a watch or an omni-tool device on her wrist.  The apartment is pretty bare minus a white sofa and plant but we see the wing of a blue ship outside her window. Not the tempest, different shape and paint job
- Nexus is really looking like a Citadel 2.0 Major presidium vibes from the images, so wonderfully nostalgic *tear*
- We get a shot of the archives in the Cultural Sector. Holograms of the different races are shown, some show humans shaking/holding hands with other aliens (notably a turian). This is probably to get the player up to speed with Mass Effect history. Avina mentions it being educational for the new races we encounter
- Shows some recreational areas on the Nexus. An indoor garden and a bar called the Vortex Lounge. Very likely these will be some of the places we will enjoy some down-time with our squad-mates
- Mentions a pathfinder HQ where we can share info with the other pathfinders (male and  female turians are shown here) This is located in the operations center, where we can also find management and security for the Nexus
- Shows a lab with a turian and salarian scientist. This is where we have our findings analyzed
