Stick with me here this is going somewhere I'm not sure where yet but I'll get there.
Angaran scanner lady on aya: Imagine what your family might look like in 500 years how big will your family be?
*Breathes*
Imagine youre Jardaan.
You happen across a cluster of stars that together represented diversity.
Hot cold bad weather toxic all the nasty stuff
Basically a place that most resembled all the uninhabitable planets in the galaxy in one place. Or as close as you could come to that.
A place where life would not otherwise evolve without your consent or in ways you do not consent to.
Now imagine you decide you're going to terraform that cluster, building unique environments as you go.
And while you do it you create a unique form if life designed to thrive in each unique environment.
(Angara)
You make them emotional and dependent on the family structure. Their society builds around that and they as a result are a united people. (Until the Kett divide them and start a civil war.)
The Jardaan were clearly using heleus as an experiment to study life. But what about life were they studying?
Reincarnation makes me think about this. Angaran reincarnation is likely tied to their ability to generate and discharge electricity.
Why would the Jardaan design that?
The Angaran doctor says they use it for long range communication.
What if the Angara are passively sharing information between one another? Organic data. Acting as an organic storage device, slowly recording the experience of each individual and passing it down.
This would explain why Jardaan made them so close to one another. Why the family unit is supposed to be together always.
And why they can remember things that happened in a "Past life"
There was no past life the memory was passed down.
What would be the ultimate goal? You would need generations to pass to gather enough data. You might have to disappear for a while.
And when you come back you'll need to gather that data from all these organic usb sticks running around out there in your cluster.
A "harvest" if you will.
I'm clutching at some pretty big straws but yeah.
This doesn't explain why there are legends about Angara flying to distant clusters, unless this experiment were being conducted elsewhere.
Or its a bigger experiment.
But yes.

I'm betting there is no reincarnation. Something to do with the gauntlet interface and other archaeo angaran tech like it

The whole thing stinks of an "experiment" to me (although I like the harvest/data storage idea you got there) Who would be so obsessed with creating new life? Possibly AI (so I think your theory has merit, Reapers or otherwise...if I am understanding you correctly), I don't know if the experiment is necessarily sinister in nature, but I also don't buy that they are good, god-like beings (I leave that to Suvi). Scientists tend to do research to a) understand the nature of the universe or solve real-world problems. I wonder which type of experiment this is? There was also some mention about the angaran ability to pass down memories, etc, in the final terminal at the end of the game (on Meridian). I was too annoyed by the poor quality of the ending to give it much thought at the time, but I should go back and re-read those. Also, the thing on that same terminal about how interacting with Remanent technology creates a sort of hemispheric disconnect in the brain (again, the particulars are blurry). But I had a feeling that there was something to the fact that the technology could itself could cause such a...cognitive dissonance (?). Forcing the two hemispheres of the mind to work separately. Something about it seemed to me like it was breaking down the components of the mind (suggesting that there are components to break down into in the first place...ie, constructed). Anyway...there is the potential for some really cool stuff in the next game. I am curious what direction they will take. Also...am tired, so sorry if this post makes no sense!

What if the Angara actually are modified Jardaan? This would explain the "memories" of being in distant clusters. Than Angara themselves were never there. The "memory" is from a time when they were Jardaan.
