No but where does the game say it? (only voice acting matters, also it has to be accompanied by flashing lights and an air raid siren noise or it doesn't count)

Honestly, what part of "tell me where is explicitly states everyone is dead" is that hard for you to understand. You can extrapolate anything you want from the codex, but is there any source within the game that specifically states "those milky way people are all dead"?

I hope everybody in the Milky Way is dead, and then the Reapers find out about Andromeda and kill them all too. Then there will finally, mercifully be no more Mass Effect forever.

OK so one codex entry where I explicitly underline something that says all the people from the Milky Way are dead in Andromeda isn't enough? Fine. I'll find another. Again, most of this is a direct copy/paste of a codex entry from the wiki.


Ark Hyperion

Ark Hyperion serves as the main vessel for carrying human settlers bound for Andromeda. Named after a Greek mythological figure associated with knowledge of celestial bodies, the Hyperion represents a breakthrough in intergalactic travel. Substantial money and resources were devoted to its construction, all privately funded by Jien Garson and the Andromeda Initiative.

Built to withstand the rigors of a nearly 25 million light- year voyage, the Hyperion is outfitted with ODSY drive core technology, which allows the ship to make a six hundred year voyage safely at FTL speeds. It features enough stasis pods to accommodate approximately 20000 settlers and crew.

Ark Hyperion left the Milky Way in 2185 as part of the initial wave of departures and just before everyone in the Milky Way galaxy died, under the command of Captain Nozomi Dunn.

All organics are dead.

But the Organic Synthoid Race empire is strong and unified lead by Joker and EDI's kind and generous daughter.


They also have super fast travel and were able to get to Andromeda 400 years before the initiative to create an alien race for them to meet, and create a device to perfectly terraform planets quickly.
