Andromeda Initiative casulties so far

I suspect most are still alive, say 80-85% at worst.

Even the arks that were the most damaged still had the vast majority of their passengers alive in stasis and that's just on the ships not those who evacuated. Then the majority of the people on the Nexus and the Exiles are still alive.

I believe 100,000 in total. So 60,000 of them on the three Arks and 40,000 on the Nexus. Or 20,000 on the Nexus and 20,000 on the Quarian ark.

There are already four arks: human, asari, salarian, turian. Quarians + everybody else adds a fifth ark, not a fourth.

You didn't kill 1% of the Ai.

You killed less than 1% due to tweaking figures. Whether it is ark numbers, or Angaran extremists, and so on.

And you killed even fewer because stuff like mowing down small respawning bases, especially more than once each location, doesn't count.

Ryder's squad killing hundreds of Milky Way colonists turned outlaw, over a course over up to many months, is regrettable, but not the biggest deal.



If you save all the arks and all that jazz, I'd say:
-certainly over 1/2 of Ai is okay
-likely over 2/3
-possibly over 3/4
-just maybe over 4/5

Basically, you keep the majority of the Andromeda Initiative intact and ready to pave paths to their future.

In the start, with the remaining on the Nexus and the arrivals from the Hyperion, you already have in the 10ks. Between more arks (1-3?) and returns of the lost, you may have several 10ks.

In any case, as the narrative shows, there's enough to have a running Nexus space hub, a successful colony on Eos, politics with the Angarans and other fledgling Milky Way originated societies, and a new central home for everyone. Even if other areas suffer more over time if you don't help them, everything has an image that over the course of years and decades, it'll all be fine enough.

If Ryder was killing hundreds in a month, I'd be more worried. But this game like most Bioware stories take place over a rather longer period than that, or even in this case, potentially extending into a post-game story period. Bioware was smart to split up enemies into the army of Kett, swarms of Remnant bots, and splitting up Outlaws into native Angarans and finally different races of Milky Way.

And in terms of MP, we can't take those thousands..millions really.. of kills seriously. Maybe like, one count per location/story event and such.


I'd count deaths of Outlaw MWers to be in the thousands by now, but hesitate at 10k+. Then after MEA, excluding any potential DLC events, the death rate will go down. A crime element will still persist but not be so survivalist - like the underworld of the Citadel in MET but extended to a star cluster, it'll be 'managed'.

Kett are stretched thin between struggling to Exalt Angara, fighthing the Resistence and Archon prioritizing Remnant tech search.

Andromeda Iniative only complicated matters for Kett.

They are dense on Voeld because they know there's Resistance HQ somewhere in those mountains. As well they have their own HQ for that region. Also a lot of Remnant tech is there.

For Eos is mainly due to Remnant tech being there, hence the HQ there too.

And that's really it, Kett don't have strong presence on any other planets we visit.

Yeah, exactly, "somewhere". They don't know where it is and keep looking for it.

Nexus outpost? Right here, with shuttles going in and out every minute. Kett just close their eyes and walk away.
