Collider chimes in about Andromeda's main plot.

I did not say it did not turn to shit for the natives. I said it did not start out as shit.  I'm mostly talking about the north american colonies. most only survived due to their interactivity with native american. Even in south america the Spanish were welcome in....only because they thought they were gods. And that not even going over with what happen in Asia were most of the major powers there stayed in control and adapted their war fair to compete with their more advance invaders.

The reason of what happen to the native of these place were due to technological differences, illness, and numbers. the Mayan and the Spanish had completely different concepts of war with the Spanish war was about ruthlessly killing their enemy and mayan saw it as a ritual to capture as many people they can to sacrifice to their gods. and the there were the plagues. While the north american native issue were the colonist had more advance tech, and more number then they did and the same issue with illness carried by the colonist. 

the argarans don't even have those issues. tech wise we are even, number wise they have more then us, illness wise they are mostly immune and even then the initiative is paranoid about spreading illness to them by accident. And the the majority of the cultures of the initiative don't have a history of imperialism. the asari are the forefront of coexistence among the race and push that on to the other races. If  they were imperialist we would have those issue in the milky way.

We are too much on an even ground to have any major conflict with the argarians. Heck, It's safe to say the initiative is weaker then the argaian
