Why is the A.I. so fractured?

Ok, thanks for clearing that up

I stopped watching TWD a long time ago (basically after they arrived at that prison) and I had my gripes with the series (the premise doesn't make any sense, I mean the US-Military alone has enough ammunition to kill every US-Citizen several times over and that's just for small-arms, I am not counting missiles, bombs (especially napalm works great on zombies!), grenades etc. and if push comes to shove: You can run over zombies by the hundreds with a damn tank (hell a normal vehicle can do that, too!), not to mention the fact that America is the land of guns, so zombies should worry you guys less than they would worry us in Europe!)

hm...would that be a deep enough chasm to make some people turn to crime and piracy? hm...I don't know, it's a difference in opinion but that alone doesn't turn people into savages (otherwise politicians would all be bloodthirsty savages living in caves!)

They don't seem to have problems with that. For example Sloane's "pirate harbor" has angarans hanging around, so they probably get some from natives. However like any frontier outlaws they will be dealt with eventually. The only question is who will do it. Apparently angara's grip on the sector is quite weak, even though their homeworld is supposedly there (was there anything on Kett? Wouldn't be surprised if their homeworld is far enough from Heleus.)

It is probably divided because the bulk of AI has already been there for so long and nothing turned out as promised. A lot of bad things could have happened, the "promised worlds" could have been not what they were promised. Kind of like how in Interstellar the worlds ended up being uninhabitable. The Kett could also have thrown a wrench into AI's plans. Probably a few things went wrong. Add in enough time for Krogans to have established a colony world and it is clear that we arrived much later than everyone else. Whether that is because our ARK arrived late or that humanity was to be the last to be awoken out of our stasis pods is unknown. I really hope it was long enough for the Genophage to be cured. I know that we left before the cure was made, but we as actual players already cured it. We lost Mordin for it. Plot line needs no retracing.
