Mass Effect Andromeda Releases New Andromeda Initiative Briefing
Dec. 2, 2016Mass Effect Andromeda Releases New Andromeda Initiative Briefing
Paragraph breakouts also give us some new insights into the game. They are as follows:
Avina is a virtual intelligence program designed to answer questions and provide guidance and insight on current events. Avina appears as a hologram, always taking the form of an Asari – one of the races found in the Milky Way Galaxy – and will be accessible at several terminals throughout the Nexus. With a limited capacity for discourse, Avina is more suited to offering information rather than opinions.
“Mass Effect” represents the scientific principle and basis behind most technology in the known galaxy. Mass effect fields are created through the use of element zero, which can increase or decrease the mass of space-time when subjected to an electrical current via dark energy. In space, mass effect fields have implications in everything from faster-than-light travel, to the creation of shields used to protect starships, to cryo-stasis pods, allowing a person to survive in a suspended state for extended voyages

With the Arks unable to refuel by traditional means in dark space, the journey to Andromeda is only made possible by the ODSY Drive System. The ODSY is a massive experimental drive core specifically designed for this trans-galactic voyage. It is capable of recycling static energy that would typically cause a starship to explode, instead storing it to power the Ark’s primary systems. Meanwhile, an electromagnetic ram-scoop will gather hydrogen from the Ark’s surroundings, converting it into fuel as needed.
The briefing page also features some new images to peruse over which you can see in the gallery below:
